The people said no the first time. It was a bullshit law from 1929 that broke our electoral system and placed him in office

The electoral college dates to far before 1929.

Regardless, pretending Trump doesn't represent the American public is cope at best.

I know. It was the permanent arbitrary capping of the number of house seats/electors that caused the system to get completely fucked up. We should have 3x the number by now as population has tripled since then. This is what has caused the major imbalance in voice power voter in small states vs large, which keeps getting worse.

He represents a minority, not the whole. That's the issue. He's approaching Nixon post resignation levels of disapproval. Pretending that the majority of Americans are represented by that is idiotic

He won the popular vote in 24. Meanwhile his opponent ran on supporting genocide and the fact that the daughter of one of the worst villains of the Iraq War supported her.

The "this is not who we are" crap is worn pretty thin at this point. You need to change who you are.
