Biden: +4 million
I've always been and always will be an advocate of ditching the Electoral College as it is a antiquated system no longer serving it's intended purpose.
One person, one vote. And we're not even having these pathetic challenges to our voting system's integrity. See number above.

I get the idea of the electoral college, and as envisioned it was a decent idea - areas with low population would still get a say.
But as Bob noted, if it was working as envisioned, then we'd have a shitload more electors from the more populous states. And it wouldn't be a winner-take-all in each state either.

I think when there's 150,000,000 votes cast and there's only a 2-4% difference between 2 candidates, then it's self explanatory. If it were 1.5 million and one candidate would only need say, San Francisco to win, then I would agree with it.

Well, we as a nation do not reconcile our past crimes, we let the criminals continue on with the barest slap on the wrist. No repercussions, no deterrent. So apparently about half of us are good with being at least Nazi-adjacent. We did nothing for the Civil War, we did nothing for torturing people, we did nothing for genocide against indigenous North Americans, we'll probably do nothing for the monstrous family separations and assorted other recent crimes.
