Americans are where they are. A candidate in an election that earns fewer votes for whatever the reason can hardly be argued to be the better. That is unless the only goal is to defend the outcome of a flawed system that says otherwise.
Couldn’t imagine anyone defending the result of an election that gave more weight to votes based on color, or gender, or wealth, or education. To hide behind a system that rewards geography (no matter what the original intention was) is no less absurd.
