popular vote is a broken sham because all you have to do is promise the world to the gullible idiots who'll vote for you without realizing that they'll be screwed as soon as you get into power. That said, the US voting system needs reform because the cities have disproportionate power in elections. that's why you have states that, geographically, have most of the counties vote one way but one or two cities vote the other way which absurdly over-writes things.
then again, the same thing is happening with a lot of the democrat voters. promised a delusional ideal, not a reality and thus only face the eventual slap upside the head when reality kicks in and goes "nope" to the delusions.
trump's an idiot but he's the lesser of two evils compared to the current pseudo-socialist dominated democrats who nobody knows jack shit about. better the devil you know than the devil you dont.
