The neat part is that they don’t even need to get the most votes to elect a president. They have the advantage of low population density, which means their votes count for more.
Yay democracy.
I mean in that particular example it’s specifically a limit that was put on our democracy. Which is to say, make sure your state joins the national popular vote compact if they haven’t already:

That’s not the only example. The Senate and House also give low population density states outsized influence. So we’ll end up with a popularly elected president thwarted by an undemocratic congress. Oh, and senates at the state level have the same problem.
The entire system is fucked and I’ve given up thinking it’s going to do good things. I’ve been burned too many times.
More like “yay fuckery”, since this is obviously not democracy.
The electoral college is fucking draconian.
Oh no! Less dog walkers and internet forum moderators? How will society get by??
They really do view politics as team sport. I mean just look at how they dress and present themselves in public. If they can’t make a show of their trump worship there’s probably no point for them. They don’t care about policy or ethics or making their lives better, they just want daddy trump to smash a homerun over the left wall and beat them libruls.
The guy on the left looks like a mid 60s Spider-Man villain.
