I don't agree with it but it's worth reading. The crux of the argument is this:

Consider this: In 2016, Hillary Clinton famously won the nationwide popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, but lost the election to Donald Trump in the Electoral College, doing much to enflame American progressives’ distaste for the college. What’s worth noting is that Clinton’s popular vote margin that year within the borders of California was well over 4 million votes. In short, outside California, Trump won the popular vote across 49 states.

So they're argument is that Californians are worth less than the rest of America? Glad our votes here are worth less than one to them :/
