You know there are conservatives in California and liberals in Texas, right? If EC were gone, their votes would finally matter.

We should have to vote by preference. If we have four candidates, we have to rank all of them according to preference.
-
Yes, a ranked-choice system with built-in runoffs would be most democratic.
-
And it better reflects how our minds actually think about alternatives: "I'd love the long-shot; I can live with her; but I can't stand him"

Exactly....well said

Why weren't you wanting this new change when Obama was in office? Can't take losing that much that you want to change up the parties

This is mathematically impossible. We have 2 parties not because of conspiratorial laws, but because single-winner plurality elections...
-
...always lead to a 2 party system (Duverger's law.) Declaring there "should" be 4 parties has zero effect on the math.
-
In a single-winner contest like president, the only way to well-support >2 choices is a voting system that isn't plurality-based.
-
I'm partial to approval voting, but there are other options (although instant runoff isn't one of them; see Australia.)
