That's exactly how it was intended. This is a democratic republic. Both sides knew the rules of the 2016 election. Hillary knew the goal was the electoral college but she failed to campaign in the battleground mid west states. This is like complaining that the soccer team with the most possession or shots on target still lost the game.
- ryanmcbride 7y agoJust because it's "the rules" doesn't mean its something people have to just sit down and accept. Every constitutional amendment has redefined "the rules", and drawing a bunch of lines on a map and ignoring a vote delta of 3 million people is in my opinion, a rule that is directly counter to a democracy, and should be criticized and amended.

- fullshark 7y agoAs you say, democrats have two options: 1. Amend the constitution (never happening) 2. Come up with a platform appealing to a large enough coalition of states Whining about it gets them nowhere and their only real option is 2.
