Eliminating First Past The Post systems will achieve more democratic elections without diminishing the ability of low-population areas to have self-agency in a nation where states like California have huge numbers of voters and most of that population votes the same way. People on the internet (almost always middle class college students) love to talk about how the electoral college is 'undemocratic' but in reality it preserves the equality of the American republic. Internet neoliberals don't like it because, currently, it supports their opponents more than it supports them.
