If you unpack your complaints, it all comes down to gerrymandering and the noncompetitive nature of representation.

I suspect that will change. The whole argument for the electoral college was to prevent people like Trump from being elected. QED the electoral college is obsolete. Trump may be Republican but he sure ain't establishment; the Gray Men of Government are more likely to defend the parts of the system that work against the virus than they are to let populism destabilize their process.

But I haven't the foggiest how that's going to shake out.
