And also, he never won on the people's democratic right to choose among candidates. Hillary did. He won because the president is chosen by the states, not the people. Don't like it? Abolish the electoral college.

Abolish electoral college is not the answer to these issues. Unless you have a new idea in mind. Electoral college is better than using popular vote. It helps prevent fraud from any one particular state.

How so? And does that outweigh the negatives and weaknesses we've seen in the electoral college system over the past 2 election cycles?

I was mostly curious those that want to abolish it what their alternative solution is.

Under popular vote, DeSantis is still running and maybe now he gets 63 billion votes from Florida alone. The impact of this fraud (there are not 63 billion ppl voting in Florida) is bigger with no electoral college.

Other countries don't have EC bc other counties don't have our state and government structure.

Yall do you. I'm not very political anyway.

Except this assinine system only exists in 'murica, which also happens to be the country where democracy doesn't work.
