I am probably not as sensitive to that kind of stuff as I should be. Even now, I don't quite get the criticism of my post, but I hear it and will think about it going forward.
That said, reforming the electoral college would be a good way to fix things. Almost f'ing impossible to do, however. The best argument I have heard is that the electoral college was put in place exactly for the reason to prevent a shit-stain like Trump reaching office. If they can't do their duty even in this most extreme case, then it serves no purpose whatsoever.
