What's worse is how few people in the US understand what the Electoral College is or how outdated/problematic it is. I was having a conversation a few months ago with my aunt and she straight up wouldn't believe me when I said her 2016 presidential vote literally did not matter since PA had a slight red majority.
I'm not from the US, but I remember watching the results come in from 2016. I didnt understand the point of the electoral college back then, nor do I understand it now.
If a candidate gets the most votes, surely they should get in? What does it matter where a person is from?

Conservatives prefer minority rule these days.
