Does Bradford just never throw pass 10 yards <| sep |> I ' ll start by thanking you for brining an argument instead of just trying to dismiss mine by misinterpreting it like uNamedomRan did . It ' s a shitty system because you ' re unhappy with the results . That ' s all . If Clinton won you ' d be pretty much OK with the system as it is . Maybe I ' m wrong , but seriously I ' m fairly certain it ' s just that . nbspAnyway , while I agree that the system ought to be reformed in a way or another , this doesn ' t mean that the EC is bad in and of itself . There is a reason why it exist and even though it was designed when the country was largely different from what it is right now , the ideals it defended are still relevant today . I suppose proportional representation would not be a bad idea , but if this was ever done , it would have to be done before an election , not retroactively . People are going to have to accept that Trump won . Now for the next election if either an adjusted EC which means that the elector votes would be redistributed proportionally according to the states ' % of the total population . I ' ve done the calculation for the 2016 election and here are the results it would have given or a purely proportional representation system were used , that would be a good thing . But I still wonder if people would be complaining if Trump had lost . I may be mistaken , but I still have doubts .
