You not understanding the sentence makes sense if you are not familiar with the way people speak about it day-to-day. It would be like asking what the point of a no kings protest is, considering America doesn’t actually have a king. It’s OK to not understand or ask the question, but people locally understand what they are saying. It’s not a failing of the original commenter that an international audience doesn’t follow their complaint about local politics.
I’m not asking or expecting you to keep up with all the acronyms, but accusing someone of lying about being American because you don’t understand what they are talking about as a non American is just a weird thing to do.
When they are talking about the electoral college in that sense, they are likely talking about the fact that in Trump’s first run if we did not have the electoral college he would have lost. He lost the popular vote, and the distribution of those votes via the electoral college is what actually caused the win. Again, this is a pretty common talking point in the United States.
