So as long as we have 2 political parties and one of them only believes the will of the people is served by their side winning it's all moot.

GOP in 2016 - You won the popular vote but the EC is what counts when it comes to selecting the president.
GOP in 2020 - It was rigged.

Gee, that whole "THE EC IS WHAT COUNTS!" thing lasted a grand 1 election before it got tossed out on it's arse...what changed?  Hmmm....


Actually I take it back, word is that the EC still counts as long as republicans can just send a handful of people to decide that the entire state really meant to vote for the republican candidate.

To answer the bold - Because Trump would never have even been president back in 2016 if it wasn't for the electoral college system.
