text: Most Americans that are angered and upset when they realize their vote doesn't have as much say as they though are usually the ones who fight to abolish the Electoral College. While this is true, it is also accurate, most people don't even know that they aren't even voting for the president, and their vote is only electing their state's electors. As upsetting as that is, it's mostly just like choosing a new senator or representative to represent the state. This is the same idea, our state votes for a number of people to vote for us. If we win the democratic side, democrats will vote for the democrat (they rarely betray us) candidate.
