You ' re making the fatal assumption it ' s a left vs right thing . I ' d be just as annoyed if Trump won the popular vote and Hillary won the EC . It ' s going to be really hard to expand your worldview for a moment to accommodate that , so take your time . Also , your quote leaves out the 2014 amendment . Not to mention , you literally said Germany does not get 5 x the votes of Hungary in the EU because they happen to have more people . When , in fact , they do ! Germany 96 Hungary 21 Granted , it ' s just short of of 5 x but the fact remains it is , indeed , based he fact that Germany has more votes because they happen to have more people . I ' ll even back my stuff up with sources ! Just to make it easier for you , the only reason Germany has 96 instead of more is because they ' re literally capped at 96 .
