One of the things I see every now and then is how our system is broken because two of the last five presidential elections have gone to people who lost the popular vote so obviously our democracy is being trampled under heel by men who have no real popular support.
My issues with this is that Al Gore and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by .5 and 2% respectively in their elections. So, yes, they won, but they won by the skin of their teeth and, more importantly, neither of them got 50% of the vote. So it's a bit hard for me to take seriously when people site two presidential candidates who barely managed to get a slim plurality of the vote as examples of the rule of the few trampling the democratic will of the many because it's a rather weak point.
Gerrymandering, voter id laws, purging voter rolls, shutting down early voting and same-day registration, all of those are much stronger indicators of how the ruling political parties are trampling people's abilities to effectively exercise their right to vote and are much more manageable and attainable things to fix in our system than getting a constitutional amendment to overhaul the electoral college; which, even if it was a thing that the public wanted, would still take years to do.
I also think all the democrats and liberals who repeatedly complain about those two elections would better spend their time thinking about why exactly when facing two of most singularly most incompetent and unqualified people to ever run for president, they picked candidates who could only beat them by such pathetic margins.
