It's the complete opposite of democracy.

"Oh the majority of the citizens that voted want this president? Too bad. Didn't get enough points in the point system we came up with."

If Popular vote was the focus there would be absolutely no representation for the whole midwest

It's not the complete opposite, and I have a hard time understanding why an appeal to 'muh democracy' is valid.

I do think it's stupid but I'm thankful when it goes well for a republican.

It takes 4 midwestern states to equal the impact of Florida. How is that representation?
