For all of the people who are defending the EC because of rural voters: the EC optimizes for narrow victories, not specifically rural areas.
it's a rickety social consensus that has failed twice and erodes the legitimacy of the government.

you can’t define failure as “my candidate didn’t win”

we were defining failure as "popular vote and EC disagree", which undermines the winner as much as the loser.

but EC and PV aren’t supposed to agree. That’s not failure - that’s the exact reason the EC exists!?!

It was the reason the EC was created in 1790, when women and blacks couldn't vote and the Senate wasn't directly elected.
