Trump has taught you to hate NATO and Europe and taught you to love Putin and dictators.

Due to the electoral college, a candidate could win the presidency with winning only 23% of the popular vote

Sorry, the records don’t reflect everything that has happened.
Records rebut claims of unequal treatment of Jan. 6 rioters
Some people charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and their Republican allies claim the Justice Department is treating them harshly because of their political views.apnews.com

And? Are you worried that Kamala cannot win 23%?

The justice department is a federal agency, not local police and sheriffs.

Disagree on politics, but sometimes you have to be reminded you can be very lucky to be living in America today, no matter who the president is

What do you mean?
Just thought it was interesting… and maybe shows a possible flaw in the system for extreme scenarios

It’s not a flaw it’s the feature. The electoral college ensures candidates don’t just campaign in the most populated states. As well as in keeping with what the founding fathers want, they did not want a pure democracy because pure democracy is just the many controlling the few. There’s no liberty there. And would eventually dissolve into wars and anarchy.
“A democratic government, they feared, might dissolve into anarchy. A republican system, conversely, invited an aristocracy to rise. If anyone asks you to design a government, run away. The United States was neither founded as a pure republic nor as a pure democracy”
Was the United States Founded as a Republic or a Democracy?

Remember 1861? Kind of big war? We had the EC system back then.
I personally believe we should work to modify the Constitution to reform how we pick our president. I think one person, one vote is the best way to pick our presidents.

Sure, we had a couple wars and we’ve always managed to come back together. I’m sorry, but one person one vote is not the best way to run a republic. The constitution is difficult to amend. If we ever lose the electoral college, it would be a disaster.

We would be better represented by a national popular vote.

So that a dozen cities can determine what's best for the whole country? No thanks.
