The fact that some Democrats are unabashed hypocrites does not change the fact that the electoral college is a terrible system that exists to (a) give extra votes to people in small states; and (b) allow 538 faceless party insiders to override their constituents at will and needs to be abolished as soon as possible. Also, this:

Trump may have won the popular vote if it were an NPV. Who knows? I was against the electoral college in October and I'm against it now. I'm for whoever gets the most votes wins, period. The EC were the rules of this election, and Trump won, I don't think many people are arguing that. It is frustrating though that Dems have lost at least two presidential elections despite getting more votes. I believe in getting rid of it despite what any poll says. So do most Dems. Their leaders do themselves no favors though waiting until results like this to complain.
