I always found the discussion around the fact that Trump didn't win by popular vote moot. Of course the US election system needs an overhaul, but he still won 46% of people's votes. That in itself is a point to be majorly concerned about, it should never have come that far.

@RealJoL @BackOnMyBS Ah, but what proportion of *eligible* voters does that 46% represent (considering specious disqualifications as well as disinterest)?
