The president should be the president of ALL the people, and should be
elected by popular vote. We should also scrap the state-by-state
winner-take-all system because that also can lead to democratically
illegitimate outcomes.

The current electoral system is merely an obsolete, obscure, unfair,
antidemocratic, and ponderous system born of a compromise necessary to get
13 states to ratify the constitution. Another compromise was to count
slaves as 3/5 of a person for the purpose of congressional representation
(although they had no vote, of course).

Interesting rant compared to your silence during the primaries re that
"system".
