The electoral college fails in part because Congress manipulated it. The authors of the Constitution intended for the House of Representatives to grow with the country. They recommended a House district size of 30,000 persons. And in the Constitution the word person being used is important. They didn't specify CITIZEN allowing for the House to represent non-citizens as well. In 1929, Congress capped the number of members at 435. This has resulted in the most populous states being shorted members of Congress.
California's population is 69 times larger than Wyoming's but instead of 69 members of the House they get 52
And that's only if they keep it proportional. If they go back to the recommended 30000 persons sized districts. Wyoming should have 10 representatives but California should have 1300 members.
Whichever way you look at it electorally, the people of California and other larger states are getting screwed. And the people of America get a tilted Electoral College because of it.

Donald Trump had a responsibility to this country. In early November, a fair election had him losing. He refused to admit it. He lost via the courts as well dozens of times. Yet, KNOWING that he lost, he orchestrated Jan 6th in order to overthrow the election by force. And finally, he refused to attend the inauguration despite 200 years of peaceful exchanges of power from one president to the next. He even was so petty as to send home the White House domestic staff on Jan 20 so that there was no one to completely move the Biden's in and no one to meet them at the door.
To this day he and his loyal cult refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Biden presidency. And you ask why Biden has not succeeded in uniting the country. Like I said Donald Trump has a responsibility too. And at each and every opportunity when forced to choose between personal wants, desires, and needs and the country's wants, desires, and needs he was unfailingly chosen himself over the country every time.

His current arrest has far more to do with right and wrong than right or left. The man trusted with the county's highest secrets; The man who had a responsibility to uphold the laws of this country, basically told Americans F*** it. He was provided far more leeway than any ordinary citizen would have. Let a jury of "real" Americans decide his fate.
