The Republicans have been playing dirty and rigging the rules of the game and the idiot Democrats keep trying to play nice and be deal makers. It's time to end the charade and be as unscrupulous for power as the Republicans because otherwise the country will be a right wing hellscape dominated by #### kicking yokels in Montana and Wyoming.

I don't know if you can always use the popular vote as the argument because campaigns are run based on the current rules. You can't say the Blue Jays should be winning because they have more base hits, because if base hits was the measurement, teams would load up on singles hitters.
Take the State of California. California actually has the most number of Republicans by number, something like 25% (10 million). Most don't bother to vote because there's no point currently. But if the winner was determined by popular vote, the GOP would pump a ton of money in California to get as much of that 10 million as they could. And maybe the Democrats would have to as well, but it would be a totally different campaign.
