Big time. Notice how both candidates spent months of time and millions of dollars just to win the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan? They didn't care bout the popular vote outside of whether or not they win the popular vote in the battleground states.
I honestly think we should just agree to re-do our entire government from head to toe. The weaknesses of our system have been emphasized by opportunists to turn us into a mockery of democracy. Sadly, though, the broad changes I want probably won't be happening. I'm asking the people who make the rules to change the system that put them in power in the first place and I'm asking them to change it in such a way that they may lose power. Both parties are far too concerned with party loyalty to go for that.
