Obama Speech writer gave the view of democracy, David Litt

Is the U.S. really a democracy? How does voting actually work? And who came up with these rules? I want to know who the f*** the electoral college is, why do they exist, and what democracy really looks like. And how to get there. So I called up David Litt, former speechwriter for Obama, among others. He says, “We have an electoral college for a number of reasons. And they’re all bad.” So you’ll learn about that. You’ll learn why the U.S. government technically isn’t really a democracy. And here’s a longer list of lessons:

Which parts of the country get overlooked in voting
Why swing states have the most power
How much say we “the people” really have in voting
The difference between the popular vote and electoral college
How much power the electoral college really has
The math behind WHY the electoral college currently favors Trump
How race plays a role in our current democracy 
Why the number of swing states has decreases 
The history of states becoming “red” or “blue”
How to find out if your state “matters” in the election
How property rights impact voting
How slavery impacts voting today

And more
