The whole electoral college concept is stupid and outdated.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of people's votes just "don't matter".

This country needs a direct democracy facelift in general, I'll say it until I'm blue in the face.

Except no, the electoral system makes sense. You're assuming that the nation was intended to be a direct democracy when that was literally never the case. You want to play chess like checkers, basically.
