Senate Democrats push plan to abolish Electoral College after Trump win

>Actually, I think it makes sense from the point of view of making every vote equal

As I understand it, they weren't supposed to represent everybody equally at the individual level, but to give representation to the 50 states, not have big states swallow small ones.

what the democrats don't understand (or they do, but purposefully ignore) is that the united states is not a state, it's not a democracy. the united states are 50 independent states united under a federated government. the people in each independent state votes on who they want as president. so the "democracy" in the united states exists at the state level, not at the federated government level.
