Or put differently: there's nothing about the House and only very little about the Electoral College that inherently disadvantages the majority. But they are biased against Democrats, who happen to be the larger party rn — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate, on the other hand, really is designed to check the majority (the extent that's good or bad is another question, ofc). What's fascinating is that the Senate, EC and House are all similarly biased against Dems, despite being intended to be biased in very different ways — PolitiTweet.org

The UK parliament, similarly, is not countermajoritarian. But the party who wins the most votes isn't assured of winning the most seats, just like the US (and yes it's happened before) — PolitiTweet.org
