The 10th Amendment still protects those state powers and they still have equal representation in the Senate.

Not to mention the use of winner-take-all by 48 states silences far more voices, creating the illusion that purple states are red or blue. 

Arguably a popular election of the President coupled with a Senate that favors smaller states would lead to far more compromise for the majority of Americans. 

So many of my Republican friends are now "done with politics" because "their vote didn't matter" this year.

They never understood how it worked.
