    What part of “he won the popular vote” did you not understand? Across all states, more people voted for him than for Harris. Even if there was no electoral college, he would still be president.

    Unless you’re arguing that electoral college votes should be redistributed in a way that ensures the winner will always be a Democrat…

      I never said otherwise.

      No, I’m saying that your system needs to be fixed so every vote has the same weight, that’s all. The fact that the term ‘popular vote’ exists at all is the flaw. Who won this year is irrelevant to the argument.
