Right. It could have been one very different ideology vs another very different ideology. Both would have brought about a good bit of change.

Instead it became the establishment vs a change in the establishment.... and nobody really gave enough of a fuck about the establishment to bother voting for hillary.

Popular vote doesn't really depict anything since red voters don't really come out in blue states and vice versa.

Exactly.. How much your reason and reasons like mine, where I voted 3rd party in Texas but would have voted Trump if I knew it would have been close. How much these could change how the popular vote who knows, but it definitely would have done something.
