Sometimes I get mad about the electoral college, but I always cool down. Because at the end of the day: this election was a tie. We use the electoral college to break ties. Maybe it's not ideal. Maybe popular vote would ve fairer. Maybe a coin flip would be fairer.
But really, I'm sad that Bush tied with Gore. I'm sad that Trump tied with Hillary. And I want to live in a country with better candidates, less party politics, and more decisive victories for my values.
From that perspective, the electoral college isn't really the problem, so I let it be.
