What bullshit. How is it "democracy" when one side wins the popular vote every single time, and yet needs still loses the House or the White House?
It's not really democracy at all.
Democracy is when every single person's voter counts the same as everyone else's vote.
The EC is ridiculous.
Do you know which state had more votes for Trump at the 2020 Presidential election?
California. Literally the largest Republican state. And all those Republican voters were literally disenfranchised.
But it's worse. But quite a lot of them weren't Republican voters at all. Same with the Democrat voters. They voted for Republican/Democrat because they know a third party is not viable. With Proportional Representation, they could vote third party, and also be sure their vote would count.
In a presidential election it might have to be a little different to PR, but the essential is that everyone's vote actually counts. Or just change the presidency.
