Comment on Kumar’s episode
Clay, first of all, I want to say how much I enjoy this podcast, I’ve listen to every single episode and I am always excited when the new one posts each week, which I listen to right away. I did have a thought about something you said on the most recent episode: you were talking about the electoral college and similar institutions that are somewhat biased in that they provide benefit to one side more than the other, and you said that getting rid of the electoral college would just basically piss off the conservative side, even though it wouldn’t be giving the more liberal side an advantage, but rather, it would even out the playing field for once. You said that this would not be an effective way to help everyone get along, and while I don’t disagree with that, I guess it made me wonder if trying to get everyone to get along really should be the ultimate goal in all cases, because sometimes making changes in the name of making things better for all people, like allowing women and minorities to vote, or allowing all votes to truly be equally valuable, might not make it easier for everyone to get along, especially the groups who previously had an unfair or undeserved advantage. But isn’t it more important for things like democratic elections to be actually balanced and fair than for everyone to be happy with the way things are? And concerning the electoral college, is there even a scenario in which both sides could be expected to be equally happy and satisfied at the same time?
