Electoral college is genius and we are a representative democracy. Electoral college prevents two cities from making every decision for the rest of the state.

Its not two cities making decisions, its every person having an equal say. You shouldn't get extra votes just because you opted to live in the middle of nowhere.

Awh. Why should one tiny area of the state get to make decisions for the entire jigsaw area? The population of Philly and Pittsburgh combined is 2 million. The population of PA is 12.5 million. I just cannot do the work for you. Look it up. We are not and never will be a direct democracy. Google great compromise.

Okay, then they wouldn't be able to control the entire state. So what are we talking about?

And remind me what seats in PA's government are even chosen by an electoral college again?

No. Do your own research. Your education is lacking.

The answer is that PA doesn't use an electoral college for internal election, so your whole point is irrelevant.

Reflect on the fact that you're so eager to tell people to educate themselves without even understanding the topic yourself.
