the electoral college has screwed the entire country this election and there is no denying that. I just hope they carry out their plans to vote green instead
it did not represent the popular vote... by land mass, we would have a different president.

This is how we have chosen America's president since George Washington. It has never changed. There's a good reason we don't use the popular vote. Too much room for corruption.
It sounds like you're just sore that Hillary Clinton lost.
it's not im sore that she lost... but that the metropolis's like new york have more electoral college votes than the whole state of Idaho (i might be exaggerating a little bit

If it weren't for the electoral college those who live in states like Idaho wouldn't even make any difference.
Please think before you make a comment. We're not a democracy, we're a republic. And yes, since NY has high population, they have a high number of electoral votes.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS LIKE DRINKING YOUR OWN PEE; FOR SOME IT LEAVES A BAD TASTE IN THEIR MOUTHS, BUT FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS, IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
