I had a lib in a “far left” Discord server refer to the electoral college as a “lesser known” aspect of US elections and explained it in depth as if no one knew about it. I told him about the Alabama Paradox and he said that’s why we needed to vote for Kamala even harder.

Idk if this is true or not but it is extremely funny. This is definitely a very real and functional democracy.

if we make the rules complicated enough, then it’s not our fault when the system grinds children into a paste

This assumes NC and NV don’t go Democrat which I’ll believe when I see it.

Ok I believe it; sowwy

Without the electoral college it’s tyranny of the majority. It’s much better that elections get decided based on where a bad batch of condoms got shipped 25 years ago.
