I continue to keep hearing this thing about the popular vote, but my question is if everyone in the United States is more or less aware of the electoral college, why is this an ongoing point to gesture to? Going solely with the popular vote is nothing but mob rule and heavily favors places with high population centers that do not speak for the vastness of the country. Why is this still brought up? It has never actually meant anything in the United States. To this day, half a year in, I still see this get referred to, no less given it was within the margin of error difference - in part meaning it barely mattered as a difference of no greater than 2.5% or so percent.

Everybody is aware of the electoral college, hence why what you are talking about is usually represented through some move for electoral college reform. 

And is it evil for a majority to be represented? Personally I think if the minority keeps dictating terms to the majority, the system will fray apart because people will lose faith in it. I mean, are we a government of the people, by the people, for the people; or are we a government of the square miles, by the square miles, for the square miles?
