Dear lefties.
Presidential contests are decided by the popular vote, on a state by state basis. I’m sorry you do not fathom the distinction.
Carry on.

But it’s not fair. We should let voters in California and New York pick our President because clearly they know what is best for us.

Indeed for we are the United STATEs.

Well, most do....but I seem to recall that at least one state allocates their electoral vote by the majority vote of the specific Congressional district that they represent. Two additional electors are selected "at large", and they do cast their vote according to the state vote majority.

I actually like the above approach a LOT, as it represents the peoples wishes more closely than even a state majority vote.

Exactly, What part of “The United States Of America” do they not understand? They love throwing the Democracy word around knowing full well we have never been a Democracy and the Fathers went to great lengths to keep us from becoming one.
