Though I'm sad Trump won, it's not true that someone who wins the popular vote but not the election has thereby been cheated.
Electoral votes are what candidates campaign for. If the winning candidate had been campaigning for the popular vote, he'd have got more.

the counterfactual is unsolvable. Decision by popular vote -> more GOTV (ez in urban areas, hard in rural). Blue advantage IMO

Agree! Also campaigns are focused on winning Electoral Votes. Like they spend majority of their time in Swing states

Y. A lot of red voters in NY and CA don't show up because they know they have no impact there.
