    Ya, I’m well aware of the reality of the electoral college, I included my second paragraph to demonstrate that awareness through the solutions I support. But the meme itself is so scaled down and oversimplified that it doesn’t actually correlate with anything in real life, and that makes it dumb.

      Yes it does. It correlates with the unpopular vote winning, because votes aren’t evenly weighted across people.

      It’s not that deep. It’s a joke satirising something that literally actually happens, it being over the top and not exactly like in reality is the point, because this is supposed to be, hold on to your hat, a joke and not a politcal science lecture.
