It's the system and Hillary knew that from the start.

It is worse in Britain because it has been decades since either Labour or Conservative got more than half the votes at a general election (because of course there are more than two parties).

Oddly enough, this is the second time it has happened to Hillary -- she got more votes than Obama in the primaries but he won more delegates so became nominee then president.

The system will reduce turnout in many states so you will never know who would win unless you just had a popular vote.
