None of it matters because in the US the President is not elected by the popular vote

On a national level that is how it works but in some states the electoral votes go to the person who wins the popular vote in that state. Florida happens to be one of those states so it matters very much.

I won't comment on the outcome of the last presidential election except to say I was absolutely mortified. The US could do a lot better.
