How big of a vote gap would it take for you to drop the Electoral College?

At least with a popular vote, you'll know, for better or worse, the majority of the voters got the President they want. The alternative is what has happened in 2 of the last 5 elections, which is we get a President that most people did not want.

If both scenarios devalue the rural areas of the country, why is the rural area argument even brought up?

I'd add that those claiming this only because DJT won are ignoring that it happening once can be written off as an aberration. Twice in 20 years?  he start of a pattern/problem.

Add in that more people are more connected and aware now and you see a groundswell for changing a system that isn't giving consistent results no matter who won.
