Then go move to a country that is a pure Democracy.

We are a Representative Republic.

Delegates are appointed to vote for you so that small states have a voice.

Go read the Founding Fathers reasons for this.

Bottom line, if only the one with most votes won, candidates would spend all their time in the megalopolises and ignore flyover country just to get millions and millions of votes.

Go jump off a cliff. I can vote how I want. That’s how THIS country works.

I don’t HAVE to vote for who is selected for me to vote for. Get a clue.

You go read the Founding Fathers. You don’t control my vote, so don’t try to.

I didn’t serve my nation so someone like YOU can tell me what I have to do and who I have to vote for.

You want that kind of control, the YOU need to move to another country. Jackass.

I think you are confusing electoral votes with constitutional delegates whose names are listed under each presidential candidate's on the general election ballots. The Constitution controls the number of electoral votes, the state parties control the number of delegates and how they are divvied up. These delegates have nothing to do with a republican form of government, but everything to do with the establishment parties controlling election outcomes.

Not only are you a moron, you have a crappy attitude. What did the founding fathers have to say about the primaries?
