It wouldn’t fix the system at all but it would still be a move in the right direction.
I have no idea how this could be called “thinking short term” or how getting rid of the electoral college would “turn into a bigger problem later.” It’s possible that at some point in the future, it could benefit Republicans, somehow, but only if a majority of the people were voting Republican. There is never going to be a situation where I would miss the electoral college, lol, get rid of it and it’s gone forever and we can continue addressing other ways our elections are messed up.
