If anyone reads this and gets this to the front page, I will go along my day and do nothing special.

Yes. Granted it's not one complete chain, but the friction between the chains is enough to keep it going.

No, it's not the viscosity. This is actually a polymer in liquid form. This trick can also be done with a chain, same idea.

Cook County voted 75% overwhelmingly for Clinton. They're more populous than the rest of the state. They could tell what the rest can do 2/2

But all the votes aren't equal. Popular vote dictates that dense regions where people are more likely to act in one way get control. 1/2

And you're right. What's your point? I'm just saying that purely popular vote is just as bad as electoral college and doesn't solve anything

And you seem to believe that someone can manipulate those states for the 23% to work. A large chunk of those states are pure blue/red.

I'm applying your 23% example to a different extreme. If 120 million people lived in one city in the middle of Utah, they can set policy.

No, you're right. It is a garbage system. But it's better than where a localized population can determine policy that benefits only them.

Yet it's commonplace for blue states to do so.

Imagine if Texas was as cohesive as California and voted 60% Republican. Or Florida, or any other traditionally red state.

The point is that the electoral college prevents one state from having total control over national politics.

California single handedly changed the popular vote. Ignoring California would have had Trump at a ~3 million lead in the popular vote.

Fuck Akio. And yes, I know what I just said and that makes me even more mad at him.

What amazes me is he somehow had an affair in that condition.
