Why do they mention the popular vote over and over when that doesn’t even count?

For the same reason they keep calling America a Democracy.

They’re stupid.

Ok, also, they think if enough people agree, it’d be easier to effect a change to the Constitution.

“Why do they mention the popular vote over and over when that doesn’t even count?”

Because manipulating the Electoral College vote in their favor is a logistical nightmare. Even when they get enough illegitimate voters in all the right locations, those voters could just up and move to somewhere else where the benefits are more generous. They would prefer to pour all their illegal votes into one convenient location. Chicago, say.

It's to plant the 'seed' firmly in the minds of the 'ignorant' voters that know nothing about Electors and believe that national elections should be just like high-school student council elections.

IOW, it's a bid to get rid the electoral college/system. Been working on it for years. As dumb as the population seems to be getting, it'll happen.
