That's fair enough, I think that people can have rational reasons for wanting to switch to the popular vote. But I do think the fundamental of it is sound and just. This is a Republic, the States matter. The founders were worried about popularism, which I think is a legitimate concern. I don't think they ever thought our party system would have devolved and stagnated to such a degree that the choice was Clinton/Trump or Biden/Trump. But that's not on the EC. When your choice is Pile of **** A and Pile of **** B, you're going to get a Pile of **** no matter what.
pretty much.
