Not many people that I know watch the debates, so I don’t know what difference that will make. The numbers will be interesting to see. I only consider the California polls because it’s relevant to my vote, and to the Democratic Primary. California’s primary now falls on Super Tuesday. We’re much earlier, and there’s more emphasis on winning votes here now. It also shows how different this state feels about our future compared to the rest of the country.
It was revolutionary for democracy, and that’s mainly why I stays to this day. The issue that: Under a popular vote, only the population centers (cities, states like NY, CA, TX, etc.). Under the electoral college, only smaller/whiter states matter.
