The states with the most people SHOULD get the most say, as every person's vote should count just as much as everyone else.
Why is it that just because California votes heavily Democrat that an individual's vote should be any less valuable than someone from Ohio?

And before you mention that the electoral college does give more of its votes to the larger populated states, it's never quite as reflective as the actual population percentages.
For example, California makes up 10.0% of the electoral college votes (54/538). However, California has 11.7% of the population.

Doesn't it also suck that if you are in a predominantly liberal or conservative state and you have an opposite stance that your vote essentially doesn't matter for the presidential election? Hard to be motivated to even bother voting if you know your candidate won't have a chance in hell of winning because of how the electoral college works.

As for why liberals continue to attack Trump after being out of office, it's two things:
1) A (former) president should not get preferential treatment over anyone else. If they committed any crimes, they should be held accountable just like everyone else.
2) Especially after seeing Trump's demeanor in his presidential term, many worry about what will happen to the country if he were to become president again. I don't think you would see the same for all candidates who are Republican. They never treated McCain, Romney, or Bush that way because they are more professional and respectful in the way they act and talk, unlike Trump.

I don't understand why conservatives talk about how great it is that states get the power to choose the president while simultaneously laughing about people leaving NY and California for "red states."  Isn't that a part of why AZ went from red to blue?  Same with GA maybe? 

If all the extra "worthless" blue votes in CA and NY spread out the electoral college could be a bust, too.  Biden won CA by 29.2% and NY by 23.1% while Trump's biggest EC votes came from TX and FL which he won by 5.6% and 3.4% respectively.  If liberals leave CA and NY for FL and TX we could see the GOP starting to talk about how the electoral college isn't realty the best way to determine the president, either.
