A reason to not care is this looks all the world like a distraction and that most of the people discussing this are just being sore losers.

Re: Sore Losers - This cycle, Democrats were JUST FINE with the electoral college when they thought they enjoyed a substantial structural advantage going into the election. They said nothing about the EC but to pat themselves on the back and discuss 100-point blow-out possibilities. But now that they lost, the whining has begun and calls to blow up the whole freaking system have started. It's transparently childish behavior. Everyone knew and agree to the rules going in. And realistically, these rules will not be changing anytime soon.

Re: A distraction - As someone who voted for Clinton and hates Trump, if people want to blame-shift this election's results they should start -- not by blaming the freaking Constitution -- but by blaming Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

But that's not the story CNN wants the sheeple to think about though! Nope, better to get those liberals all worked up about popular vote differences and questioning the usefulness of the constitutional system of an electoral college!

God forbid these people start asking why Hillary Clinton, with hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign funds, lost easily winnable states no Democrat should have ever even been in a position to lose -- let alone lose to Donald Trump. God forbid, the sheeple start listening to Bernie Sanders or shift their rage to the corrupt DNC (where it belongs), whom allowed this travesty to go on in the first place. Jesus Christ -- our friends at the DNC some poor DNC staffers might get fired -- the corrupt money might stop flowing -- the horror!
