In winner takes all system the votes of losing parties are caste away and don't count. Basically the losers go home empty handed and have to wait till next election.

That is a system stuck in time with a need to reform and i hope it does eventually.

Actually for a huge country like US, Brazil, Russia etc the electoral college makes a lot of sense. Its a long discussion, but US is mainly populated in the coasts, which is overwhelmingly blue. But since you akso need the votes for less populated states your politics neess to also address these people. The day electoral college passes in US you can be sure those states in the middle of the country will be totally forgotten and thebrepublican party will never be elected again.
Its a long discussion, but keep in mind it only makes sese because it is a huge country and with a huge unbalance of population per state.
