There was a moment on Election Day when I thought Biden would win the electoral but trump would win the popular. I had hopes for a bipartisan push to abolish the electoral college for about 30 min.
Update: Sorry, I misinterpreted you! Ignore the previous message. Yeah, that would've been weird, I can't see the GOP ever advocating for abolishing the EC.
No worries, yeah I don't either, but in my eyes trump supporters aren't typical GOP and I could see the "burn it down" sentiment pointed at the electoral college. There is a difference between political operatives and regular supporters, and its really only the operatives that want to preserve the electoral college. Most democrats and independents are for abolishing it, and about a quarter of republications https://news.gallup.com/poll/320744/americans-support-abolishing-electoral-college.aspx. There are small steps to take like getting rid of the winner take all system, which could be easier than abolishing the whole thing and provide the same benefit.
