For better or worse, (it's both, depending upon the issue) we're a republic rather than a democracy.
Yep. Them’s the rules. We’ve been that way since 1788. I do think its important to remember that as a result, everyone who seriously runs for president tries to win in the Electoral College, not in the popular vote. So it seems a little hollow to me when election losers complain about the Electoral College when they knew the rules going in.
