The entire electoral system that is based on a popularity contest is just really broken. It’s a testament to how perfectly “broken” the American electoral system is that we are still using an electoral system created for a 13 colony slave based society made to favor rich land owners.
I say “broken” because it’s really not. It’s actually very well written to ensure the system favors the power of the ruling class over the masses. What we are seeing now is the confidence of that class raising to such a high degree that they are no longer pretending that they have maintain that illusion.
