If people want to rid the EC, that's fine, but changing the Constitution can take nearly a decade. So, if you think Congress is going to overturn an Amendment overnight because a few angry Millenials thought their tweets and memes were enough to elect their candidate, you're kidding yourself.
This will be history in about a week and the world will keep spinning. Focus on what we're going to do now. Kicking and screaming will not change anything.

Y'all are really simple in thinking the sole function of a protest is to create immediate change in the law.
-It unites allies and people of the same principles, many of whom wouldn't have known each other prior to the protest. Its a form of networking and recruitment. This is literally the building block of any change in society and this can cause a chain effect. People who before were less proactive may be swept into the momentum.
-It sends a message to those of opposition that they do not have a strangle hold on the values/views in the country. When you have inaction, people become bolden in their bigotry and feel they can do whatever they want without repercussion. This applies both to ordinary people and government.
-It offers consolation for those who do feel they are alone, vulnerable, disenfranchised as well as having persuasive powers over those who are undecided in where they stand.
