Clinton lost because so many voters refused to vote for a woman. We all know it’s true.

Clinton also lost because, to pick a specific example, the Dakotas combined have a population of about 0.5% of US population but over 1% of electoral college, giving it a ratio of approx 2.3x "votes per person".

The electoral college and “swing states” maybe, but she won the popular vote decisively, with a three million votes margin. It is the electoral college that needs to be abolished via constitutional amendment, which is currently unlikely, or bypassed via the interstate vote compact, which needs a few more states before it reaches 270 yet.
