Your grocery stores are no less important than large metropolitan areas. They are vital to the very existence of city dwellers. The fact is, very few countries have such diverse living experiences. There is no reason that the State of California, with its large population should dictate how someone in Montana lives without winning the electoral college. It would disenfranchise the fly over states. The Electoral college is integral to protecting the minority from the majority. You may not like it because a particular side won or lost. But it will protect you when you suddenly become the minority voter. It’s genius has been lost on education geared toward teaching to the lowest common denominator.
