Chris Hayes: The Electoral College functions in such a way that even as it appears that Kamala Harris is the clear favorite to win the popular vote—probably by a margin of a million votes at the bare minimum—the presidential race is an extremely close tie. - Aired on 09/04/2024.

1. The fatal flaw in the constitution

I've said for a while that there is a fatal flaw in the constitution that can't be fixed. The demographics of the country having been changing such that the majority exists in a few states, and yet between the senate and the EC, the minority has an outsized influence. It is estimate that by 2040, 70% of the population will live in just 15 states. Which means that the senate will be controlled by 30% of the population. This country cannot long survived being controlled by a minority as small as 30%.

I often laugh at the morons (morans?) that think that the GOP has their interests in mind. There's some 40+% of the country that believes that the MAGA crowd "includes" them when in fact in the end, they will turn on many of them as they shrink the definition of "true" Americans. Heck, Trump and Musk want to shrink it to about 300 rich males.
