Lived experience sits next to the community vote. Official sources never override either.
Pete Buttigieg said on TV this week that the Electoral College is a 1770s relic and every vote should count the same. The replies are split hard. Critics say a straight popular vote means candidates only campaign in LA, NYC and Chicago and rural states stop mattering. Supporters say right now candidates only campaign in about 7 swing states anyway, so the "small states matter" argument is already fake. Which side actually holds up?

the top 10 metro areas aren't even a third of the country. the math on "a few cities" doesn't work
cap, nobody's campaigning in wyoming now either
swing states get all the attention today, so you're just swapping which places get ignored
