Now do the US Senate.
Where
pizza
shoe
Me, off-camera: these people are idiots
“I’m so tired, I could eat a horse”
I bet Liz from Wyoming votes to eat the shoe at like 90% of meals, but argues that she’s totally different from all the other shoe eaters.
Let’s let the class decide what type of pizza to get.
Counting the votes, pepperoni wins.
Counting the votes at each table, then each counting the winner per table, pepperoni wins.
Arbitrarily dividing each table into “groups” of students, then adding those groups up to determine which choice won the table, then counting the tables… anchovies wins!
It would have been nice if work from home inspired a blue wave to move to red states and flipped the electoral maps during COVID.
This would only make since as an example of the Electoral College if you adding something to adjust for everyone’s theoretical impact on the meal.
If every voted but Liz was also paying a larger percentage of the bill than everyone else then it would make sense that her opinion outweighs everyone else.
How about everyone eats what they want? Not everything needs to be decided by the federal government.
Or, hear me out, we make the federal government less important so having fair representation doesn’t matter quite as much. Focus more on state and local government, which solves the problem across multiple fronts. Also solves the problem of greedy wannabe royalty since the position no longer has power and therefore doesn’t attract power hungry individuals.
Not everything is the same everywhere. Having a huge unified govt is… Kinda silly?
This is what the founders of America wanted by the way.
