And why shouldn't people in California or New York's vote count as much as those people in swing states? It's pretty retarded that we use the electoral college. It's DEI for Republicans
This. Literally this.
I'd like to point out that the main reason that California and New York are given the sway they have is because they are the main ports that the US uses. As such every bit of infrastructure in this country is based around these two massive states. They generate the most revenue and they contribute the most to the country in almost every regard. California, New York, and Texas pull the absolute deadweight that is the rustbelt and almost all of the flyovers.
For all the bitching that Republicans do about DEI, their states are given vastly large amounts of social sway that they don't deserve. And it's a hassle to fix anything out there when you have whole states of people that are functionally retarded but believe that they are worth more than they are because they are considered US Citizens
and that's literally it.
These are the same types of people that try to say "People that own land are the only ones that should have the right to vote!" while owning some boonie land in Utah, Idaho or Nebraska.
Why should my homes in objectively better states be considered the same as their shit-tier hovel? It's DEI without being DEI. They do this because they know that over time, without any effort put in on their end,
they will become the subhumans that give way to Pajeet and Nigger tier culture.
You see it all the time in the US. Old money incapable of sustaining itself as the times change. Ask any white-trash crackhead living in a doublewide, they can always trace themselves back to some big money that their family just couldn't hold onto coming into the next generation.
Edit: Nevada, Arizona, Maine, Wisconsin and Florida being prime examples of massively over-represented areas that do very little for the US. Why are people in major population centers that generate objectively more money, bring in objectively more business, and house objectively more people beholden to rural retards that can't be fucked to pull their own weight?
It sure sounds diverse, equitable and inclusive to give places that produce very little a bit of a boost to keep them up with the rest of the states that aren't sliding down the learning curve like the banana splits.
