It's not a ****ed up system. The major cities aren't the important aspects of the Republic. The entire Republic matters, and thus the EC is the compromise between popularism and the sovereignty of States. The more populated States still have the most EC votes, but one cannot ignore the middle of America to win office on a Federal level such as President.
The EC is fine, and Hillary blew it. It sucks because Trump turned out to be one hell of a disaster of a President, but Hillary blew it. I do believe that the Democrats shot themselves in the foot by nominating Biden, but he'll just have to do a better job than Hillary at capturing the EC votes. I don't want NY, Chicago, and LA to dominate the office which is supposed to represent us all. The Democrats just need to learn to not suck so bad is all.
It's absolutely a ****ed-up system. Voters in Utah or Nebraska should not have more power than voters in large cities. But that is exactly what you are advocating. And I doubt you can explain why.
Hillary "blew it" by winning by 3 million votes? Yeah, got it. Brilliant logic. It certainly didn't help that stupid Comey and the FBI were more focused on Clinton and her stupid emails than investigating Trump's ties to Russia. And why didn't this FBI investigation of Trump get revealed until after the election? That was not fair to Clinton, because Trump being a potential traitor is far more serious than Clinton's emails.
