It was actually specifically to protect people living in less populated areas. Population in the US has always been sharply divided. The system ensures no larger state rules over the smaller one, otherwise, it'd be less "US Presidential Election 2016" and more "California vs Texas"... 

You literally trashed all Latinos and Blacks in the US. You do realize they are minorities right? This system wasn't conceived for no good reason. Also, more Latinos voted for Trump than they did for Mitt Romney (for one, Trump won Florida's popular vote). The only reason Hillary has an advantage was because of bloody California. Considering California works as if they were their own country, thinking they should decide the election might be the most ridiculous, over the top statement I've ever heard. 

Also, the majority wasn't always better. The majority of people in Germany liked Hitler at the time, look how that panned out... 

If I wanted to tell you how it works, well, things might only be fair if you tell 33 percent of the American urban population to leave the country. Then we'd have an equal proportion of blue and red voters, then whoever yields loses. Otherwise, as I said, there's no reason for the GOP to exist. Trump did win the popular vote in MOST states. It only happens there are a handful whose population has the weight of dozens of states and renders this win pointless. Californians shouldn't decide for the rest of Americans who don't have the advantages they have. 

The special ones shouldn't call the shots, but people from across the country should have their say on who rules. If most of the country's states, rather than the people, choose their leader, you know most of the country will be represented, rather than a state with overcrowding issues. 

By the way, Trump was aware of this. He campaigned with the electoral college in mind, not for the popular vote. The fact he dyed blue states red alone seems like a hint he did pack more firepower than Hillary did, but not in the "fortress states" of Hillary's firewall. 

LOL

You will just make up anything to justify discrimination. Hitler was elected by majority. He was legitimate. He was also elected using the exact same tropes Trump did of blaming problems on others. But you know what he also wasn't? Democratic. He became a dictator so he wouldn't have elections. Modern democracies have failsafes for those situations nowadays.

The US is not a democracy. It's time for everyone to finally see how wrong the system is. Discrimination left and center and some worth more than others. It is unsightly.

The majority is not always better, but the majority is always LEGITIMATE. It's the will of the people, without any trickery.

The reason the electoral college operates as it does (people winning the entire state rather than just talling votes up everywhere) is so one portion or region of the country doesn't absolutely dominate all of the rest.

Well that's a damn shame because Hillary only got a plurality.

I guess that also makes my 'tyranny of the majority' argument flawed, though not in the way you expected
