这部五集剧集还将亮相卡玛拉·哈里斯、迈克·彭斯、阿尔·戈尔和泰德·克鲁兹

2016年总统选举失利的希拉里·克林顿仍在抨击选举人团制度，她在网飞新纪实剧集《美国实验》的预告片中称该制度为“可憎之物”，正是这一制度让她错失总统宝座。
在这部由汤姆·汉克斯担任执行制片人的待播剧集预告中，克林顿说道：“嗯，我个人认为选举人团制度是个可憎之物。原因显而易见。”
据网飞的Tudum频道介绍，这部即将于今日上线的五集纪实剧集旨在纪念美国独立250周年，将审视“美国民主在数百年历史中如何被构建、挑战和重新构想”。除克林顿外，该剧还将采访数十位政界人士和历史学家，包括前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯、迈克·彭斯和阿尔·戈尔，以及得克萨斯州联邦参议员、共和党人泰德·克鲁兹和加利福尼亚州联邦众议员、民主党人南希·佩洛西。
设立于1787年的选举人团制度废除倡议在左翼部分群体中获得了更多支持，尤其是在克林顿2016年败给唐纳德·特朗普总统之后。尽管克林顿赢得了全国普选票，但特朗普拿下了几个关键摇摆州，凭借选举人团票数优势入主白宫。

竞选失利后，克林顿曾抨击该制度，在2017年回忆录《发生了什么》中称其为“该死的选举人团”。在接受CNN主持人安德森·库珀采访时，克林顿再次呼吁废除选举人团制度，将其称为“为另一个时代设计的不合时宜之物，不再适用于当下”。
“我们已经朝着一人一票的方向迈进，这才是我们选出获胜者的方式，”她补充道，“我认为应该废除它，我希望我们能摆脱它。”
就在特朗普2024年击败哈里斯赢得连任的数月前，克林顿再次对选举人团制度表示担忧，她在接受《第十九条》新闻网采访时称：“我们处于劣势，只要选举人团制度还存在，这种情况就在所难免。”
特朗普不仅在选举人团票数上击败哈里斯，也赢得了普选票。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系克林顿寻求进一步置评。

在这部新剧集的预告片中，加利福尼亚州联邦众议员、民主党人佐伊·洛夫格伦表示，“开国元勋们本身就不待见选举人团制度”，而且“它从一开始就存在缺陷”。
“我们面临的问题是，由于选举人团制度的结构，少数人口——在某些情况下甚至违背多数人的意愿——在统治多数人，”洛夫格伦补充道。
谈到克林顿的受访内容，导演布莱恩·纳彭伯格告诉《综艺》杂志：“我知道我会向前国务卿和总统候选人希拉里·克林顿询问她人生中最痛苦的时刻之一。”

“她很少坦诚地谈论那个选举夜，我们真的很高兴她能在这部剧里谈到这件事，”纳彭伯格说道，他还补充道：“她有着独特的视角，是美国历史上仅有的五位赢得普选票却输掉总统选举的人之一。2016年大选之所以引人注目，还因为希拉里·克林顿以巨大优势击败了唐纳德·特朗普的普选票。”

Hillary Clinton still fuming over Electoral College, calls it an ‘abomination’ in new Netflix series
The five-part series also features Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore and Ted Cruz

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is still railing against the Electoral College, which cost her the presidency in 2016, calling it an “abomination” in a trailer for the new Netflix docuseries titled “The American Experiment.”
In a trailer for the upcoming series, which is executive-produced by Tom Hanks, Clinton remarks, “Well, I personally think the Electoral College is an abomination. For obvious reasons.”
Set to drop today, the new five-part docuseries marks 250 years of U.S. independence by examining “how American democracy has been built, challenged, and reimagined” over the course of its centuries-long history, according to Netflix’s Tudum. In addition to Clinton, the series will feature interviews with dozens of politicians and historians, including former Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence and Al Gore, as well as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The push for abolishing the Electoral College, which was instituted in 1787, has gained increased support in some corners of the left, especially after Clinton’s 2016 loss to President Donald Trump. Though Clinton won the national popular vote, Trump secured several key swing states that gave him the Electoral College edge, sending him to the White House.
WHAT IS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE? HOW DOES IT WORK?

After her loss, Clinton lambasted the system, calling it “the god-forsaken Electoral College” in her 2017 memoir “What Happened.” In an interview with CNN host Anderson Cooper, Clinton reaffirmed her call to abolish the Electoral College, referring to it as “an anachronism that was designed for another time” that “no longer works.”
“We’ve moved toward one person, one vote, that’s how we select winners,” she continued, adding, “I think it needs to be eliminated, I’d like to see us move beyond it.”
Months before Trump’s 2024 victory over Harris, Clinton again raised concerns about the Electoral College, saying in an interview with The 19th, “We are the underdog, that just kind of goes with the territory when we have the Electoral College staring at you.”
Trump defeated Harris both in the Electoral College and in the popular vote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Clinton for additional comment.

In the trailer for the new docuseries, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., states that “the founders themselves were not in love with the Electoral College” and “it was defective from the beginning.”
“We have a problem that a minority of the population, because of the structure of the Electoral College — in some cases, over the objections of the majority — is ruling the majority,” added Lofgren.
Discussing Clinton’s interview, director Brian Knappenberger told Variety, “I knew I would be asking former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton about one of the most painful moments of her life.”

“She has rarely spoken candidly about that election night and we’re really happy she talked about it for the series,” said Knappenberger, adding, “She has a unique perspective as one of only five people in American history to lose the presidency after winning the popular vote. The 2016 election also stands out because Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the popular vote by such a significant margin.”
Fox News Digital also reached out to Netflix, Knappenberger and Lofgren for comment.
