It is that simple. This is a great test to see if someone is racist or not. Ask if they agree with the EC. If they do, then you know the answer.
It's 'that simple', eh? One of these days, the roles will be reversed. So, that means you're not aware of it yet, but you have deemed your future self racist also.
Not PP. All 4 times some one became president without winning the popular vote is a republican. Even if a democrat somehow loses the popular vote and wins by EC, it is still wrong that ANY VOTE is disenfranchised regardless of whether it is a dem vote or repub vote.
Besides the GOP has won the popular vote ONLY 1/7 elections. That is bare minimum support and is absolutely unsustainable. How long can the GOP keep winning like this?
Okay, PP. I want you to name every President that has won the popular vote.
You can't. It's a trick question. No one has ever won the "popular vote." A national popular vote for President in the US does not exist any more than pots of gold at the end of rainbows.
Each of the 51 regional elections is not a direct vote for President either, so no one is disenfranchised. It is a vote for regional electors who then get to vote for President.
As to disenfranchise:

Acting smart doesn't make you intelligent. If the loser becomes president after a deficit of 3 million votes and 2%, then it by default means those 3 million voters are DISENFRANCHISED. It means in America, only in America, that votes in a rural state like WY is worth 3 votes in CA or TX or NY.
Then why conduct elections, you might as well let the state electors elect the president. Atleast there won't be any pretense of being a democracy. China does it without any pretense and they seem to get much smarter leaders every decade.
