Your answer to why the electoral college is superior to the popular vote is that allows a majority of states to override the majority of people. No shit. That still begs the question why anyone would want that.This appears to be the circular toddler argument pilt. Why? But why? But why?
Child: Daddy, why do you like hot coffee instead of cold coffee
Dad: Because the temperature is higher
Child: But why is a higher temperature better
Dad: Circular toddler arguments.
Child: This asshole
This is the perfect answer to the mythical person asking "why do we use the electoral college?"This is the Daddy Medic response. Because that's what the Constitution says son. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the country. Go read a book.
Damnit I have been doing it wrong all these years. Next time I'll vote for the candidate that will make me sad if they win.PS, if you're voting by who makes you happy, you're very likely doing it wrong.
