Non-Americans have a hard time with understanding the electoral college system. I can speak about this personally because my British family needs and continues to be needed to explain the constitutionally defined separation of government and really struggles with the reality that states make their own laws, have governors, state legislatures etc etc. The concept of seeing the USA as 50 separate states with their own governments is foreign as British and other Europeans think of the USA as one monolithic country. I think the poster you’re talking to is British and brits without open minds cannot ever understand the USA, it’s many states, and just how different of culture it is comparing the USA with the U.K. is. It took quite a while for my other half to learn the ropes here as well as she is born and raised in the U.K. and came over much later in life than I did.
good luck.
good luck.
