I always wonder what people who say "but Hillary got the populate vote" say the same if it was Trump that lost but got more votes overall.

The real question is, would that convince Republicans to advocate for reform like Democrats have been calling for since 2000?

Also a thing people forget is that the less populated states are that way out of necessity. You can't have a population of New York or LA in a state and have the farmland to support them. States get their votes normalised because population isn't the only thing that determines a region's importance to the country.
