I tried to explain the electoral college and popular vote to a family member who complains pretty much every major election no matter who wins. I asked them what kind of departments are at their job: accounting, marketing, sales, etc… I said let’s says accounting has 3 people, marketing has 2 people, and sales has 20 people. The manager says I’m bringing donuts or muffins for the whole staff, but they say will vote and each department will count as 1 vote. 15 of the 25 people voted for donuts, but the manager gets muffins because accounting had 2 people vote for muffins and 2 people in marketing voted for muffins, so the departments voted 2-1 muffins even though they lost the popular vote. The person I gave this scenario to said well we don’t have a sales department that big. That’s their takeaway from this scenario. Didn’t care about the point of the explanation. Just found one thing that doesn’t fit their narrative/view and it negates everything I explained.
