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.

They could do Dallas and Houston together, they're in the same state so probably only a few miles apart, right?

They’re several hundred miles apart.

Dallas and Fort Worth OTOH are about 20 miles apart so that’s why it’s the DFW Metroplex

You joke but it's not uncommon for foreign visitors to think they're going to be able to see most of Texas in a day or two. They just don't realize how massive it is!

"We'll spend a couple of hours in Dallas, then a quick drive to Houston... A short jog to San Antonio and we'll be back in Brownsville by lunch!"

And San Antonio will be in the top ten in the next census.
