Interesting video, but the electoral college is a FAR better system than an all out popular vote. The idea that America should be a true democracy is just not it. If this were the case, much similar to how the videos first point covered, all a potential presidential candidate would have to do is campaign in the largest states of America for him/her to win. A true popular vote would mean all you have to do is capture the vote of all the most populated states so that you can win the popular vote, while not caring about smaller states since their votes don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. This is why the electoral college is useful, as it is much closer to getting what the country truly wants and not just what the most populated states want. The full popular vote system would take away from the power small states have, and give even more power to large states.
TLDR: Getting rid of the electoral college would cause large states to have more power in terms of elections, and smaller states to have even less. In my opinion, one could even argue that abolishing the electoral college would cause even more polarization in our country as the smaller states would feel like what they want isn't being heard.
