Trump might be the president but Clinton won the popular vote. The Silent majority avs don't make any sense

I thought it means the silent majority on sa.com, and people just don't speak up because being harassed or gang piled for wrong think isn't fun.

So... the true Silent Majority is not the people of America, who generally lean blue, but the very land itself.

Makes sense. America definitely has a lot more empty space than it has people to fill it, and I haven't heard the soil voice its political beliefs before.

Determines representatives in the House so that more populated states are sufficiently represented. Less populous states get the Senate where everyone gets 2 Senators regardless if you are CA or Rhode Island. Together, they get somewhat equal say. Or at least that's the logic behind it.

what

Counties have nothing to do with Congressional representation, states get to draw their counties however they like and population has nothing to do with it. They're just an organizational unit to make local services easier to manage.

Agreed OP. We should let the hyper liberal art majors of California and NY State decide all elections and major ballot issues form here on out. It's not like the Electoral College is written into the goddamn Constitution or anything, right?!
