I paste this everywhere because the narrative of lies has been ubiquitous:

There was one difficulty however of a serious nature attending an immediate choice by the people. The right of suffrage was much more diffusive in the Northern than the Southern States; and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes. The substitution of electors obviated this difficulty and seemed on the whole to be liable to fewest objections.

This was James Madison, ie the guy who came up with it. It exists to launder slave votes through their owners, nothing more. It's not about land, it's just about the south using the votes of people they don't let vote.

Anytime you see a map of the US with "preference by county", go ahead and pull up a map of the US at night from space next to it.

You'll see that once choice is generally where electricity is, and the other choice is where it's dark.

In an American election? Nah, most of those people won't vote, cause that's Vancouver.

As a non American from what I understand about the electoral collage is the land has more say.

Land owners were the original voters.

The rest of us plebes didn't know what to do with such capital, so we had to yield to their "superior" vote.

This is why the right to vote has been such a constant fight across the centuries.

Electoral College: your vote's power = (People / Arbitrarily Defined Land Area) because fuck you, that's why.

Yeah.... Anyone interested in this should look up gerrymandering bounderies. :/ we fu'ked.

So what's an actual argument supporting that gerrymandering is more democratic? When I was younger, I natively assumed it was a system decided by some smart people to make it more fair for reasons I don't understand. Now that I'm older, I realize that the smart people know what they're doing but are morally evil and intentionally do this to support corruption.

Treeson!

Lousy firries

Yup the majority rules.
