Senator Boxer Introduces Bill to Eliminate Electoral College
"This is the only office in the land where you can get more votes and still lose the presidency," Boxer said in a statement. "The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately. Every American should be guaranteed that their vote counts."
[...] "When all the ballots are counted, Hillary Clinton will have won the popular vote by a margin that could exceed two million votes, and she is on track to have received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history except Barack Obama," Boxer said.
Trump will be the fifth president in U.S. history to win the election despite losing the popular vote. George W. Bush won the most recent such election, in 2000.

Democrats fight pointless causes by their very nature?
I sort of thought the same thing about far right leaning convservatives trying to shape the world to fit their view.
Democrats often want to blemish this view; conservatives want to wipe the slate of all that they deem offensive to them. There is a differerence, and it relates to tolerance and empathy, something your comment seems to reflect.

Have you met a feminist lately? The qualities of tolerance and empathy are not within them. At all. And, unlike the evangelicals on the Republican side, feminists are not a minority within the Democrats.

Misandrists are not feminists. Stop conflating the two to demonize ideas and movements you don't like, such as gender equality.

Oh I'm all for gender equality. I haven't met a feminist who is in a very long time though.
