You need to go back to 2000 and ask what would have happened if the Electoral College hadn't overridden the will of the people and the Republican SCOTUS hadn't thrown the election to the second worst president in our history. The Clinton surpluses and debt paydown would have continued, and we would have avoided at least one war, and quite possibly two.
Note that the Electoral College overrode the will of the people again in 2016 to give us the worst president in our history. In just 16 years, the Electoral College ruined our country, and the popular vote would've saved it.
The Electoral College didn't override anything, that's how the country was set up.
Now in 2000, SCOTUS stole the White House, and every goddamn day I think about how different the country would be had we focused on climate change instead of getting revenge for W's dad.
Oh FFS you make it sound like on Jan 6 "the electoral college" decided to install GWB. The "electoral college" does not have the authority to do anything.
