So in 12 % of the elections we did have the minority come to rule by the electoral college - and in those times, Republicans won.

That's a whole other conversation.

No, that is The Conversation.

I have not sounded out my brother, because he's as little Mount Vesuvius. Triggered, he wants to get angry and spout, but lately what little gets out has nothing to do with the conversation. It could be something as simple as, when we win then the majority is setting the rules, and when you win the minority is setting the rules.

We've gotten ratings of flawed democracy due to gerrymandering and the electoral college, etc. I think a little over half of Dems think they're liberal.

But it still stands that the elections show the electoral college puts a thumb on the scale probably now 15% of the time.
