Yes, but because California and Texas are fairly foregone conclusions, they get less focus than smaller swing states, so you end up with people caring about and campaigning in North Carolina, f'rinstance. Like, fucking duh.

You obviously have no conception of how the electoral college functions. Either that or you're a satirist. Some Irony in you saying "like, fucking duh."

Uh... how did you come to that conclusion?

Is anyone doing any heavy campaigning in California or Texas right now, compared to North Carolina or Ohio or Florida?

That's far from the only reason for the electoral college, and it's even more important in the modern day to prevent massive population centers from completely dominating elections.

A popular vote system should replace the electoral college.

The President represents the people of the United States, and whichever candidate recives the most votes and support from the people should always (and not most of the time) be president.

Additionally, every person's vote would count equally, and it wouldn't just be the people of 5-6 swing states that functionally decide who is our next president.
