What is the reason for the electoral points? Why isn’t it just the person with the most votes wins? 

Because the US is not a democracy and they can't accept the possibility of people deciding directly.

I just don’t get this. All of this speaks volumes when it comes to measuring how cruel and hateful people really are.

The rust belt is up in the air: “In case you still harbored any hope of getting a projection in Pennsylvania tonight, 274,000 mail ballots in Philadelphia County won’t be counted until tomorrow at the earliest. These votes are likely to be overwhelmingly for Biden.” AZ looks to go blue for the first time since 1996, so it comes down to PA + WI + MI, just like 2016.

It is the richest, yes. But the biggest in terms of what? lol

yea it has one of the highest GDP (which doesn't mean much given the widespread income inequality) but overall compared to all other industrialized countries it ranks the lowest on almost all relevant metrics if we are to base it on facts.

I just can't believe one of the biggest (in general, richer, educated, democracy, etc) could place a man like Donny in such a position of power

America‘s founding fathers viewed the public as a mindless rabble and they came up with all sorts of ways to prevent the poor from truly being able to pick who leads the country.

It was also designed to give slave-owning states an outsized level of representation in government.

TLDR: it’s an extremely nonsensical system that never should’ve been put in place in the first place.
