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 esteemmug. Shitted over means to be wronged, the victim of a minor injustice, disrespected, passed over at work or in other competitive environment.
Examples: Tom got the promotion; I got shitted over. The barista really shitted me over; my coffee doesn't have any chocolate sprinkles.

Get the Shitted overmug. A procedure pioneered in the late 1990s. Where shit is mixed with oil in a plastic sealable zipper bag . When it is well mixed a corner snipped off so that the viscous liquid may be poured into places normally poo cannot go with the benefit that oil makes the whole mess much harder to clean up.
