Harris winning the Electoral College wouldn't make it any more democratic
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's win has major implications for the future of American democracy.
Her victory is a historic one, as she is the first woman, the first Black person, and the first South Asian person to be elected to the second-highest office in the land.
Harris's victory is a sign of progress for the United States, but it is also a reminder of the work that still needs to be done to achieve true democracy.
While Harris's win is a step forward, it is important to remember that the Electoral College is not a democratic system.
It is a system that gives more power to voters in small states than voters in large states.
This means that a candidate can win the popular vote but lose the Electoral College, as happened to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The Electoral College is a relic of the past, and it is time for it to be abolished.
We need to move to a system of direct popular election, so that every vote counts equally.
Harris's victory is a step forward, but it is not the end of the fight for democracy.
We must continue to work to build a more just and equitable society for all Americans.
