The American people chose Trump. Sorry, there is no way around that. The US doesn't elect its president based on the popular vote.

The electoral college was created in part to prevent unqualified candidates from becoming president. It failed spectacularly.

Unqualified by which definition? The one the Democrats hold?

[becarefulyo]

By any reasonable human being's standard.

You misspelled "true scotsman".

Debating with sophomores is about as fruitful as debating with holocaust deniers.

What's more, it seems many sophomoric Trump supporters are Holocaust deniers, from what I see in pro-Trump communities.

Right, which is why the American people did not choose Trump. The electoral college did. It's not fair to point the finger at the people when the system was the most likely cause of the outcome.

I think placing blame solely on electoral college system is detracting from the real problem, which is that there is a polarized division. Electoral college can be a fair system most of the time, and I hold benefit of the doubt that there was no systematic gerrymandering going on specifically for this election.
