Well , given the only difference between Hans and Huis is that the latter are Muslim , any cultural issues are very reduced . <| sep |> Petty tribalism is what you would enable if you remove the college wholesale . That ' s WHY WE HAVE THE COLLEGE . To prevent a rogue element from capturing a singular core demographic . Just because the college failed this time doesn ' t mean we don ' t need it in one form or another , and it can be reformed . Imagine a presidential candidate that sells himself exclusively to , say , people who have never owned a new car . He promises them all a shiny new car or a pony or some undoable horseshit . Oh , and he hates rich people with their fancy new cars and so do his constituents . Now imagine 70 % of eligible voters have never owned a new car . Even though he would be a shit president , he has the populace behind him , because he can cater to the wants of the individual instead of the needs of the states and counties . I understand the need for every vote to count . We could have electoral votes split like Maine and Nebraska , maybe . Or votes by county since counties are heavily integrated into the voting system .
