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.

Yep. That's why the U.S. has an electoral college, so that a few cities
can't run the whole country.

Considering who lives in places like Los Angeles and New York City, I
don't see why anyone would be willing to give them as much power as they
want. People whose IQ never reaches anywhere near 100 and with no hope
or ever owning property shouldn't have any power whatsoever over politics.

Once again, I submit Rhodesia as an example of how to do things right.
Despite being landlocked, the British there turned a sparsely-populated
land into the breadbasket of Africa. Whites and blacks both had the
right to vote as long as they owned property and while this was the
case, the country prospered. Then, the Communists emerged from every
side to destroy it, and with the support of the Soviet Union, China, the
United Kingdom and the United States, they ended up bringing it down to
become Zimbabwe. Now, those brilliant progressives are starving and
desperately asking the Whites to return to feed their useless asses.

The lesson here is simple: don't let progressivism into your country.

 
Not just Rhodesia. South Africa was slated to be one of the top five
powerful countries in the world at one point (in the 70s or 80s). But I
think race relations were better in Rhodesia than in South Africa, even back
then.

They were. I think that like in Angola and another African nations, the
blacks who had it quite good in Rhodesia were convinced by Communists
that it could somehow be better. Since Rhodesia was landlocked and
stripped of the aid they should have received from the UK at the very
least, the Whites fought to the end but couldn't stop the threat all
around them, including that of dumb blacks who rallied to the Communist
cause. I hope they enjoy the starvation they are now facing.

Putin has offered an opportunity for farm land to those displaced by this
stupidity.
