It's hilarious, country of "FREEDOM" isn't even a democracy. Democracy doesn't work in electoral college concept.

Google the term "representative democracy"

When rural states are given more voting power, that's an unfair advantage given to a political party. One vote should be one vote. Oh, conservatives can't win presidential election? That's a reflection of how bad their ideas are. If we fix Senate for more proportional representation on top of that, then I can believe that it is a full-fledged democracy.

I am aware of the shittier aspects of our system

However those aspects were installed by democratically elected representatives and we have a democratic process by which those aspects can be changed. turns out some of the people being represented really want those things.

Nah because I already know America isn't a real democracy with electoral colleges, and gerrymandering. You're kidding yourself if you think it is.

Without the electoral college, conservatives would have to try with more palatable policies. But even so, bad ideas don't stand, which is the conservatives' problem.

"Ackshully look up the definition of democracy!"
