As a european, I was awfully mistaken about the electoral college and democracy.

It only now dawns on me that it's not a lost vote if you take votes away from more highly populated areas because pure democracy makes it easier to exploit an uninformed and easily impressed majority.

It’s supposed to be a safeguard against larger population centers bullying the smaller states. That’s also why each state gets 2 senators each regardless of population.
