> No major party can have a platform that doesn't allow them to get a majority of the vote.
That’s patently false: one Republican president in 28 years has been elected with a majority of the vote.
On the local level, gerrymandering and vote suppression are both tactics to get around the need to appeal to a majority, and the GOP has embraced both.
The Electoral College system effectively subsidizes the Republican party by giving it presidential wins it doesn't deserve, by giving empty land a vote. It's a national election, and it should be one person one vote, not a case where a Wyoming vote counts 7x that of a California vote.
If it weren't winning the presidency, it would be compelled to be more competitive. No major party exists nationally without winning presidential elections.
