A simple thought experiment to explain the process behind the electoral college
You and two friends decide to go out to eat for lunch, only one of you brought a card so you all agree to venmo the one who brought it after you eat as none of you brought any cash either.
You want to get some pizza, and your two friends want to eat human shit sandwiches, you decide to put it to a democratic vote because that’s obviously the most fair right?
You obviously lose and you have to eat the shit sandwich, sucks doesn’t it?
How could this have been avoided?
Simple, you make your vote worth 2, this forces an even tie and forces the shit sandwich twins (you should probably stop hanging out with them btw) to compromise, you all end up agreeing on burgers and you eat in relative peace
Now apply this logic to the electoral college, and you understand why the Montana Wheat farmer or the Wyoming cattle rancher’s state gets to have as much of a say as California or New York

Get the Shit Sandwich Theorymug. The Igloo theory, also known as the snowtrapped theory, is the theory that if two people that hate eachother get stuck in a cold place (ex.: an igloo) together, due to being cold, either one is going to murder the other or they will have sexual intercourse
Dude 1: Yo we should totally trap those two ennemies in an igloo.
Dude 2: Why is that so?
Dude 1: Because they will either kill eachother or have sex, it's the igloo theory
Dude 2: That sound unrealistic, but yeah, we should try that on some people. How about world leaders?
Dude 1: Sure!
