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

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

TLDR: an anti-Democratic bias is not the same as a countermajoritarian bias. That happens to make it easier to fix without constitutional reform. And makes it harder for the GOP to justify their edge; this isn't intentional or inherent to the design — PolitiTweet.org
