I wrote that as a response to folks who love to post maps of the United,States after elections. Huge swaths of the nation are depicted in red while blue shows up on the coasts and as isolated dots where there are major cities and/or college towns.Oooohhhh--you really messed that one up with your final sentence. You can't eat without them. Be very, very grateful for them.Only in the world's most advanced democracy can one gather fewer votes and yet win.why we need electoral college:Los Angeles county is home to more people than each of these 41 states
One person, one vote. People vote - not acres. Or, are acres now people, too? That would make humans competing with corporations and acres.
And it is telling that some posters on this thread hold their fellow Americans in such disdain. Are they arguing there is a "real America" and a "contemptible America" existing side by side?
As for me, I'll take the places with universities, concert halls, museums and art galleries. The places with major sports franchises and restaurants and cosmopolitan outlooks. They can keep the soy bean fields, the cattle ranches and the trailer parks.
All that red, yet nobody lives there! There are more people in Brooklyn than there are in North Dakota. Yet North Dakota shows up as a mass of red in the central northern part of the map while Brooklyn shows up like the period at the end of this sentence.
