> When a single person represents 50% (+/- a few % depending on EC or popular vote) of a nation of over 300 million I think we have deep systemic issues that neither the electoral college can stem nor can the popular vote fix.

Are you trying to say you wish you saw less political division in America (left vs right)?

I think political division is a symptom. With power concentrated in such a small portion of the population (one person) you end up with two coalitions who vie for power behind the person because no smaller group can affect change at that level.
