I’m thinking you shouldn’t talk about the electoral college until you understand what it does because you’re dead wrong
Power IS held by a few states…the swing states…that are made important because the electoral college gives them disproportionate votes. States aren’t people and where you live shouldn’t matter for the presidential election.
[fairvote.org/…/the_electoral_college-population_v…](A vote in Wyoming has the same “power” as 2 1/2 votes from Oregon). What about that sounds right to you?

States are the centers of power in our country. Not the people. It’s why states vote for president.

What does that word salad even mean?

Have you ever taken a basic class on the United States government? States vote for the president. That’s what the electoral college is all about. In many states the electoral college has no obligation to use the popular vote for making their decision.

Typical conservative dancing around the point but not addressing it. Sad!
