Actually, we have an Electoral College because in the 18th century it was impossible and inconceivable to have hundreds of thousands of people traveling to cast their votes. So, local people would vote for their electors who would then, in turn, travel to (then Philadelphia, now DC) to cst their votes for the President. In short, we vote for people to represent us in electing the President. This would have made more sense before modern technologies and the winner-takes-all approach most states have regarding the electoral votes was never intended, but here we are. And, for the record, each state has the number of electors that equals their representatives in Congress. So, let's use Florida which has 27 Congress persons. That's 27+2(senators) for a total of 29. With the winner-takes-all approach, all 29 EC votes goes to an individual candidate. This essentially nullifies the millions of people who voted the other way. Which isn't very representative. Which is why some people want to abolish the EC. I think apportioning the votes out accordingly would work instead, but that's me. Oh, and W,DC gets three EC votes even though they have no senators and only a non-voting representative in Congress.
My god... constitutional republic means we are a country that has no monarch. With a constitution as our guiding principle. That constitution is the law over the land we live in. That constitution set up...as the law of the land a representative democracy. We are only a republic because we are a democracy.
Literally a big reason why the electoral colleges are in place is because they do not think the average American would make the best and rational decision when choosing president.This is the cold truth whether you want to accept it or not.
That might make sense if CA and NY determined everything but thats why we have senators and representatives. The single us leader should be chosen by the most people of the country. Popular vote is more democratic than an old system designed around the lack of ability to vote back in the day.
Having different opinions and tastes is fine. When your getting violent, hateful, disavowing family and dear friends, demanding divorce, threatening, and even attempting in rare cases, death(even on kids), and promising acts of pornographic nature if the recipient of said acts votes their way or adopts their beliefs, *that is insane.* When you let a disagreement devolve into debauchery, violence, hatred, and malice, the line has been way crossed, and it may take years, if ever, for those wounds to heal. Sadly, it seems there are folks so lost, even if you showed them the way back to humanity, they'd refuse to go, choosing their negativity over the positives in life. For them, all we can do is pray.
@@Floortile83 When I think of two strangers on the street having a difference of opinion, one is calm and civil, and the other starts beating the other half to death, and the calm one now in fear for their lives pulls out a gun and shoots in self defense, I feel sorry for the violent one, so filled with anger and hatred, now hoping and praying they'd get to live to regret that foolish mistake. That's what I mean. The levels of visceral hatred I've seen thanks, in many ways, to the media, where there are people in the street that are willing to beat half to death a person for wearing a red cap, or having a sticker on their vehicle, or for saying a simple phrase(or not saying one when they are forced to). The madness of the past 6+ years, that skyrocketed in the past 4, and then came 2020(and will most likely continue forward). Absolutely insanity, and the media was a gasoline tanker in a wildfire, exploding and intensifying the madness. I heard a saying, something along the lines of "sometimes, the best way to win the game, is not to play." There are folks wanting a war, wanting a fight. Easier said than done in many cases, but sometimes the best way to win; don't play their game. They want violence, if you deny them it, they'll either pester you till you give in, or they'll get tired and leave. But there is that 3rd, they start the fight, and try their best to make you the bad guy. Sometimes I get deep into thoughts and contemplations, my analyitical side comes out☺. Stay safe, and God bless.

BUT because of a few assholes, if anyone is caught in public without the mask, they risk the entire crowd running them down to beat them to death...

I don't feel sympathy for the violent bozo who gets himself shot for trying to kill someone else and getting surprised. That's just Darwinism. ;o)
I do hope we have another election in 4 years. I’ve been involved in the political process since making my first campaign posters in 5th grade (I was for Ford). This is hands-down the nastiest, most acrimonious, most corrupt election cycle I have ever witnessed.
The over simplified description is, the Electoral College protects the rest of the country from 2 or more over populated states from deciding who is President. Beginning to think we might need to do the similar thing at the state lvl to avoid 1 or 2 cities from deciding for the entire state.
@@JPG.01 I agree beginning to think it should be so many votes per Electoral vote witch would split the states Electoral votes fairly. The majority takes all leaves minority votes without a voice.
@JohnnyRingo not only that but 1 or 2 cites should not be able to decide for an entire state. Definitely some changes need to be made to secure American right's
You really think that a rural person's vote should count for more than a city persons? You're seriously saying out loud that "people who don't agree with me shouldn't get to vote"? There's a word for that ideology, you should think about it. 1 person, 1 vote. THAT'S HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS. Just because your team loses every once in a while doesn't mean you get to say "maybe we should give dictatorship a try...." I bet you call yourself a patriot too. Jesus wept.
Exactly. Most of our knowledge comes from living. Parents are supposed to guide and teach, unfortunately they're far too busy keeping up with the Jones's, worried about their social media accounts and their looks.
One place where I lived my neighbor liked my food and stuff SO MUCH they would literally break into my house and steal it while I was at work!! Do you know how hard it is to make a sandwich when you get home from work only to find BOTH the meat you were going to make your sandwich out of AND THE BREAD are both missing from your house.............and only you and your wife live there and you have BOTH been at work all day, AFTER you bought the meat and the bread the night before?!! And when I confronted my neighbor about it he claimed "You must have rats!" which was a very strange answer indeed......because the rats not only were "smart enough to open the refrigerator and a drawer inside the refrigerator" BUT the same rats took the packaging BOTH products came in with them......closed the drawer AND the refrigerator door, and left NO EVIDENCE AT ALL that they had even been in my house, my refrigerator, or the cupboard I kept the bread in!!!! Damn those be some pretty smart rats!!!!!!
Electoral college keeps me from being president by not letting me go to, CA, TX, Pennsylvania, NY, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan, telling them, if you live in this state and vote for me, you will be exempt from federal taxes.

Electpral college votes are like this My home state of WV has 5 electoral votes. 2 for the senators and 3 for the congressional districts. We vote...the Electors....elect
Politians should wear work uniforms with name tags work as a crew get paid moderate salary's if they don't like there job they need to quit they can easily be replaced and they need to know that
Wow, the Electoral College is not that hard to understand. It's supposed to keep the high population areas from imposing their will on the entire country.
So do you all believe the troops that are away from home serving to protect the American citizens shouldn't be allowed to mail in their votes? They are a part of the demographic that gets to mail in their vote. Every tax paying citizen should be allowed to cast their vote via any legal means made available. There are bipartisan election workers that review all votes that are counted. There could be fraud by any means during an election and mail in ballots are not the only possible source of fraud.
Bottom line: the electoral college is based on districts and population to make sure all things are equal. Sometimes redistricting happens to adjust for population shifts but the state needs to vote on it. When the entire state votes, the electors take a look at who the majority voted for and choose who to give the state to. So technically, its majority rules in each state to come up with who to call the state for. The electoral votes have to be in existence because if it wasn't, the larger populated states would control the rest of the country. Remember, we are not a Democracy - we are a Republic.
The reason elections always seem so 50/50 is because of the electoral college. the electoral college is supposed to exist to help give the minority a bigger voice. the electoral college is constantly being tweaked with the hope being that in a not so contested election you will see alot of really close races but should things get heated it aides in detecting minor swings and giving votes to those swings. if we lived in a pure democracy a few large cities would decide every presidential election and we would have to shift to letting representatives select the president. Truth is if an American president does their job according to the law they will not affect the country much since majority of the power is in the state representatives that these days alot of people skip on the ballot. A distributed legal system will always be more fair than having 1 leader rule over the masses.
I just had to share this video! Thank you for making! Judging by the explanations you got below of the electoral college, no one really understands it either. They down here arguing why we have it and how it works! LMAO!
Dude, give me a call and I’ll fill you in on the electoral college. I used to think it was a useless idea, but that’s the only thing that lets people in a state like KY have any say. It keeps the single minded cities like New York, Chicago, or LA from being the deciders. We have 50 states...5 shouldn’t decide the fate of 50. Group think should not determine the fate of our country. Every LEGAL adult has an individual voice and needs an individual say. Our Forefathers were quite wise with setting up our government.
All naturally born citizens of The USA should study for citizenship test! You will know your history, how government works, and how we elect people to federal offices! I would now I’m a naturalized citizen! 😂
God bless you Josh! Every American has a right to their opinion and voter choice. This election could either be good for economy or completely destroy the economy and make it hard for all Americans to thrive. My current job is hanging in the balance because of policies set in place by Biden. If he carries out what he says, I'll be without my job.
In 1929, after spending a decade being unable to come to agreement as to the apportionment of representatives in the house, the US Congress capped the size of the house of representatives at 435. During the drafting of the US Constitution, it was argued that there should be included strict guidelines for the number of representatives. If it had been passed and drafted as part of the document, we would have one represenative for every thirty thouseand people. This would increase the the size of the house to 11,668 representatives. The reason for the division in this country is the vast majority of people are unrepresented in government.
The important part of the electoral college is if votes are contested, then the area where to focus is limited. Also limits states leaving the union. No electoral college would mean huge swathes would leave.
A difference in opinion didn’t matter as much when debates were limited to those you knew... your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors, patrons at the bar. Then TV started to host political discussion shows-typically uncontroversial and dispassionate discourse, not like the rantings today. Things really changed with social media. Now we’re arguing with people who have dislike communities, dislike priorities, and dislike lifestyles.

Wow you are asking the wrong question about the electoral college. If there is 2 wolfs and 1 pig and they have a true and fair completely democratic vote on what to have for dinner? the electoral college makes sure that the pig has the right to be herd after the vote tally as well as before it
The census is used to determine how many people live in your state for House of Representatives and Electoral College. It's taken every 10 years to make adjustments. That's why it matters.
When it comes to Alaska, US maps don’t help. When my daughter was a teenager, another teenager called her a liar when she spoke about us driving from Alaska to Tennesse, before flying to Germany. The kid kept sending her links to maps, showing her Alaska is an island. 🙄

This man is Americas best friend!!!😄
Still the best Josh keep it up dude
I believe that the number of electoral college votes for each state is determined by the previous census.
ask siri how old the president is if you want an eye opener.
Trump has more energy than anyone I know. Lol
Dude, give me a call and I’ll fill you in on the electoral college. I used to think it was a useless idea, but that’s the only thing that lets people in a state like KY have any say. It keeps the single minded cities like New York, Chicago, or LA from being the deciders. We have 50 states...5 shouldn’t decide the fate of 50. Group think should not determine the fate of our country. Every LEGAL adult has an individual voice and needs an individual say. Our Forefathers were quite wise with setting up our government.
I'm 52 ,one thing I learned this is my first time voting and my last time, your vote dont cont. Thats why I have not voted before
All naturally born citizens of The USA should study for citizenship test! You will know your history, how government works, and how we elect people to federal offices! I would now I’m a naturalized citizen! 😂
Together We Rise!
You explain it well.
I laughed out loud!!
God bless you Josh! Every American has a right to their opinion and voter choice. This election could either be good for economy or completely destroy the economy and make it hard for all Americans to thrive. My current job is hanging in the balance because of policies set in place by Biden. If he carries out what he says, I'll be without my job.
electoral collage is to allow states with smaller populations have a voice!!!!!!
Understandable, have a great day.
Josh for President 2024!!
Amen lil brother!!
Josh? If you research the 'electoral college', you will find out what it is. Peace! Love your videos!
You finally got the red pill makes you think..
In 1929, after spending a decade being unable to come to agreement as to the apportionment of representatives in the house, the US Congress capped the size of the house of representatives at 435. During the drafting of the US Constitution, it was argued that there should be included strict guidelines for the number of representatives. If it had been passed and drafted as part of the document, we would have one represenative for every thirty thouseand people. This would increase the the size of the house to 11,668 representatives. The reason for the division in this country is the vast majority of people are unrepresented in government.
But if full blown SHTF WAR starts it might be or not but be prepared and aware and be ready for anything just my opinion
Very funny video, good stuff right here. 😂🤙
The important part of the electoral college is if votes are contested, then the area where to focus is limited. Also limits states leaving the union. No electoral college would mean huge swathes would leave.
Pro Tip - Stop watching the Main Stream Propaganda. Seek out your news and form your own opinion. This is a Great Country!
Should break the electoral down further. 1 county 1 vote.
A difference in opinion didn’t matter as much when debates were limited to those you knew... your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors, patrons at the bar. Then TV started to host political discussion shows-typically uncontroversial and dispassionate discourse, not like the rantings today. Things really changed with social media. Now we’re arguing with people who have dislike communities, dislike priorities, and dislike lifestyles.
I pray to God that He has mercy on the blue states as they "know not what they do".
They know what they're doing and they deserve what they get.

There was a time when I didn't know Alaska was part of the USA... Then I turned 5.
I was five years and five months old when Alaska became a state and we added that star to the flag. I was six years old when they added Hawaii and that other star to the flag. Busy year. Of course Alaska was a territory long before that so it was part of America long before I was born.
I learned that actually just yesterday but I'm not an American so i let myself off the hook.
@@simonw3858 You're forgiven! I was in my 30's & didn't realize Brazil was in South America. I was thinking it was a European country. I think I just forgot, because I'm pretty sure I knew that at some point when I was in school. 🙂👍
@@BillGraper Yea pretty sure i knew it at some point too, not something people keep in the memory bank as its more trivial information than useful unless you are in a geography field or something. Plus I've seen many Americans unable to point to my country on a map and its one of the most distinctive countries on the map. Care to take a guess?
@@simonw3858 Yeah. How are we going to do this? I think I'll get it right. 🙂
Wow you are asking the wrong question about the electoral college.
If there is 2 wolfs and 1 pig and they have a true and fair completely democratic vote on what to have for dinner? the electoral college makes sure that the pig has the right to be herd after the vote tally as well as before it
Wait wait wait..
Hhhhwhat!!!!!
Shit...
Mannnn..
When we gonna kick it..
Like..
How..
Get at me..
Hhhhwhat???
First of all..
Excellent
Lol you crack me up! So true! 😂🤦
The census is used to determine how many people live in your state for House of Representatives and Electoral College. It's taken every 10 years to make adjustments. That's why it matters.
Preach my brother
All of that information is right at the tip of your fingers, for the first time in history I may add.
#6. People love elections so much, they even vote when dead.
The college waters down the power of heavily concentrated areas, that's it
What they lunch like 😅😂🤣😂🤣
That’s right. EVERY four years...
Amen
When it comes to Alaska, US maps don’t help. When my daughter was a teenager, another teenager called her a liar when she spoke about us driving from Alaska to Tennesse, before flying to Germany. The kid kept sending her links to maps, showing her Alaska is an island. 🙄
Time for martial law and arrest warrants
