Winner Takes All + Electoral College
Adding Uncertainty to Elections
This rule creates more variables for the U.S. presidential election, as the counting of popular votes is done on a national level, while the "winner takes all" rule erases the gap in public opinion for presidential candidates within each state. This can lead to a situation where a candidate who is behind in the national popular vote gains an advantage in electoral votes due to the "winner takes all" rule, thus winning the U.S. presidential election.

Increasing "Division" in America

"Swing States" Become the Focus of Bipartisan Competition

Due to the increasing "division" in the United States in recent years, the Democratic and Republican parties have taken starkly opposing stances on issues such as immigration, abortion, and gun control, resulting in a clear one-sidedness among voters in multiple states. For example, California consistently supports the Democratic Party, while Texas shows a clear advantage for the Republican Party.

Only 150,000 May Ultimately Decide America's Fate

Under such an electoral system, the U.S. presidential election presents a bizarre reality where "a few people decide the fate of the majority." Some analysts have commented that America’s complex electoral system, amid a political process controlled by a minority, has gradually lost its effectiveness in bridging differences and forming consensus due to mutual attacks and pull between the two parties, as well as the escalating political environment of "veto politics" and "identity politics". It merely serves as a political process and has become a profit-seeking tool for politicians, failing to genuinely express public opinion or address the daily concerns of the majority.

As the long-standing saying about U.S. elections goes — the U.S. election is just about picking the least rotten apple from two rotten apples.
