As in the Electoral College, where we can get way more votes and lose, and the makeup of the Senate, where States with a population less than a big City get 2 Senators just like New York, California, etc with a population larger than some countries.

The game is rigged and not for Democrats.....a Democrat will never lose the popular vote but win the Electoral College.

There are considerably more of us than them but they’ve gamed the system.
