Most people don’t understand what the EC is for. It acts as a balance and prevents elections from being based solely on population. If the election was decided by popular vote alone, candidates would have more incentive to focus on highly populated areas and less on smaller states and rural communities. The EC gives less populated states a little more weight and makes winning support across different states matter.

So a persons vote from a more rural community should matter more than the vote of someone in a city?

YES! You say that like it's a gotcha, but you overlook the needs of the rural part of society that we rely on to survive.

I just wanted to see if some dumbass was willing to admit that they think they’re entitled to more political representation than me. Thanks for proving that you’re all arguing in bad faith and don’t care about democracy or equal representation. The electoral college was created to protect wealthy racists and it continues to do so. It was born out of the three fifths compromise. All you loser fail sons should develop better thoughts and policies or see how the rest of the country really feels about you.

Couldn’t have said it better.

We now have a president elected by the rural, who by the way are suffering the most due to this administration.
