TLDR: the Electoral College is DEI for Republicans.
Addendum point: The people we need to convince to win are not the people who see the obvious distinction between Joe and Trump, and if you haven't convinced them yet, you probably aren't going to -- especially not after that debate performance (which is why they took the gamble to do that debate in the first place).
And before that, it was DEI for the pro-slavery States. Back before black people and even women could vote, whites didn't have numbers enough to win many elections, so they created the Electoral College and made it so that black people counted as 3/5ths of a "person" and slave owners could vote in the names of their slaves.
Ah yes the 3/5 "compromise".
