minus-squarephdepressed@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoWe need to get rid of the electoral college. Biden beat Trump by 7 million votes. That it was “razor thin” is because of the electoral college. Hillary lost to Trump despite winning the popular vote by 3 million because of the electoral college. Gore lost because of Florida’s electoral college (and all the fuckery there) despite winning the popular vote by 0.5million.
