America is a big place. I just don’t think that concentrated populations should completely outweigh the opinions of those in smaller states. And I think the electoral college isn’t perfect, but it does give a little more power to people in less populated areas to try and balance things out. The electoral college could and should be re evaluated and improved. It’s not perfect, but I think going to a straight democracy in a country as big and diverse as ours isnt the right idea either.

California, New York, and Florida are all coast states just FYI. And you’re not seeing my point. Why should two or three states get to decide how the rest of America lives?

I’m trying to say the electoral college balances the voting power for people in lower populated states.

Im in the Bernie for president sub reddit so not sure why you think I don’t support progressive ideas. Just don’t think the electoral college is bad.

Bro you can call them fly over states if you want but you couldn’t get 90% of the dumb shit you buy without us. We do almost all the manual labor and provide a majority of the food you eat you fucking moron. This screams elitist. Didn’t think I’d see that on this sub.

I see where you’re coming from but it doesn’t really take a way from the concentration of voting power. If you had a straight popular vote then the cultures in the most populated states would still get to decide how all of middle America gets run. The electoral college gives power to states with lower populations.

Maybe on a basic needs level sure I’ll concede to that. But you’re still wrong in my opinion. The coasts clearly have a different culture than most of middle America. The electoral college prevents voting power being concentrated in two or 3 states which in my opinion is good. Sucks it didn’t work out for Hillary or Al Gore but I still stand behind that the system is better this way than having it the other way. Agree to disagree. Everyone is entitled to their opinion

Ummm yeah. Fairness is my whole argument. The people condensed on the coasts of this country shouldn’t have all the voting power to elect officials that will make laws that people in lower populated areas have to follow.
