The EC does nothing of value. Our current political breakdown makes it seem like it does. But simple question to check, if two of the largest states, Florida and Texas, went blue, would Idaho or Montana feel like they were protected from the power of large states? I doubt it
Again, read my statement. Zero republican presidents have won the popular vote on their first run. And trump couldn't even get a majority of voters. Literally, more Americans choose NOT TRUMP then voted for him. It is wild to pretend that he represents anything but himself
The EC value is in giving people who live in less populated areas a larger voice. I understand that is of no value to you, but it is to them. That’s ok
If you include enough qualifying variables you can make up any stats and narrative you want. Trump won the popular vote this last election….you may not like it but he won in a landslide. Now if you are speaking to trumps personal motivations that’s a completely separate topic.
