It ' s because each state has a proportional voice it ' s the rules . United States . States , united in freedom for a common defense . Not mob rule . Not two wolves and a sheep voting on what ' s for lunch . If you would like to create a country with pure majority rule , you are welcome to do that , but I don ' t think you ' d like the result . Candidates would pander to the few biggest cities at the expense of everyone else , and much of the time , you would be the sheep . I get that you are unhappy that Trump was elected I am too . But rather than blame the system , which , BTW , is helping to protect you from Trump by limiting national power , you should instead look at the horrible candidate the Democrats picked and all the people who mindlessly vote for the two party system that has failed them for decades .
