Daring chicken is amazing. They sell a breaded, but the original flavor unbreaded is kind of shocking in the right use. It’s best when sautéed (it browns well), but too much of it in stir-fry or sandwich feels a bit rubbery. It’s so tasty that you might be tempted to use it for something like orange chicken, but again, rubbery.

Also, if you’re interested in making your own alternatives, I love a kneaded seitan. You’ll need a really good stand mixer or a huge amount of stamina, but it’s worth it. Frontier’s no-chicken broth powder is one of my go-to seasonings for everything, but it particularly shines for seitan. https://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Broth-Powder-No-Chicken-1lb/dp/B0001M0YT4/ref=asc_df_B0001M0YT4/

The Electoral College subverts the will of the people by allowing the states/people split you describe. However, fluctuations in voter turnout and the large population of swing voters prevent any consistent election results year over year.

Two dynamics show no signs of letting up: mid-term elections favor the party that isn’t in the White House, and the party not in power (for any given elected office) tends to experience a more motivated base and a friendlier swing vote. These major dynamics, and many smaller ones, produce enough turbulence that the electoral college can’t wholly determine the outcome of every election.
