Harris seems guaranteed to win the popular vote over Trump. In a
democracy, that would be enough. In the US, it isn’t.

Even the dumbest citizen knows that it wouldn't make sense for the
presidency to be decided by the metropolises of the country simply
because the agricultural sectors feeding the parasites of those areas
are sparsely populated. The Electoral College ensures that people doing
the real work get to have a say, not just the welfare recipients living
in slums having twenty children despite not being able to feed any of them.

Without such a system, there would be no reason for agricultural states
not to decide to secede, especially since the politics of the masses are
wholly incompatible with every one of their values.

Uh huh, you're just a bigot, the states with big cities pay their fair
share, the rural rednecks just like to complain, they are the ones
with the sense of entitlement, in truth, they want "the greatest
country in the world" to base its economy on their woodchopper
businesses, fuck that.  We're more advanced than that.  It's
ridiculous when they talk about divorcing the different states, they
need to just suck it up and realize that their way of life is fine for
them, but it's not something divine, nay it is Satanic when it trumps
everyone else.  Fuck off, rednecks.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
