> Democrats, despite winning the popular vote in all but 2 elections since 1988, are pretty much completely out of power

It's almost as if they need a different platform that can get them a win instead of complaining that the majority of their voters live in a handful of states.

The election system is what it is.

If you want to win, you need to do something to win - not complain about the system.

This is not correct. The election system changes regularly, and in different ways all over the country.

The Electoral College was established during the Constitutional Convention… in 1787.

Sure, there have been changes since then, but it’s probably always been optimal to go for many states as opposed to the handful of biggest ones.
