If it wasn't for California and NY being dem strongholds under the college he might have actually campaigned there, he easily would have gotten more votes in those states if the total actually mattered S
Exactly this. Both sides planned their campaigns based on the rules of the game which means electoral votes are all that mattered. If the popular vote determined the election, they both would have campaigned in other states to maximize their chance of winning the popular vote.
The electoral college exists so that once every four years Midwesterners and Southerners can tell the coastal twats that refer to us as the 'flyover states' to go fuck themselves.
ksacs revenge - It is pretty fucking hilarious that the only reason Trump is president is because of a system he despised.
I bet he doesn't think it's so bad now.
Trump won and there is nothing you can do about it
Hahahahahahahahshahahahhahahahahah
That wasn't even a complaint. Trump supporters are even worse than the SJW's. How embarrassing for you.
Really fuckface?
Do Trump supporters riot? Maim people? Burn buildings? Burn cars? Falsely label everyone that doesn't agree with them as racist, sexist, homophobic? Do they now?
Choke on my shit. I can say that a thousand times and still not be as bad as the sjw crowd. Hell, I could pry your mouth open and force you to choke on my shit and I'd only be scratching the surface of their violent behavior.
Shouldn't you be holding a sign outside my office and slowing down my morning coffee while you order a half caf latte with almond wilk and a vegan nut bar?
Lol
But what are you wearing? I hope it matches your taste in latte
"You represent the decline of western civilization..."
Opposite. Cultural Marxism wants he end of western civilization. Anger at White males (who built western civilization) and trying to replace whites with non white immigration, anti Christianity anti heterosexual. That is the decline of western civilization.
Also Michigan hasn't been counted and it's for Trump and he will win the popular when you see the results
It does look bad that republicans were on the OG crying about the EC weeks before the election, and also doesn't look that hot that Trump was crying about it 4 years ago and it worked in his favor vs. popular vote.
That said, liberals can't cry about the popular vote because the system is not setup to take it into account. Take me for example, I voted for Darrel Castle because I live in NJ which I knew was going to Hillary. If it was based on a national popular vote, I would have voted for Trump because I think Hillary is an evil, piece of shit.
I am sure there are liberals that did the same, who voted for someone like Jill Stein or Gary Johnson who would have voted for Hillary if it wasn't an EC setup.
The point is, our system is based on the EC and people voted as such. Liberals need to stop crying, they are alienating themselves by acting like gigantic pussies right now.
I believe the electoral college serves a valuable purpose, but I wouldn't mind seeing it reformed to eliminate the 'winner take all' system.
Winner take all disenfranchises minority voters (political minorities, not racial minorities) and suppresses voter turnout. A liberal in Little Rock has no incentive to vote for president because no matter how he votes, Arkansas belongs to the Republicans. Same goes for a conservative in Utica. No matter how he votes, New York belongs to the Democrats. So those Arkansas liberals and New York conservatives stay home.
I'd prefer to see a system where electoral votes are apportioned by Congressional districts rather than by state. So that liberal in Little Rock has a good chance of sending an Arkansas electoral vote to the Democrats (because Little Rock is a dot of blue in a sea of red) and that Utica conservative has a chance of sending a New York electoral vote to the Republicans (because upstate New York is mostly red). They suddenly have skin in the game, whereas under the current system they do not.
Lol... so you think California and new York should decide every president? Because that's basically what would happen if the electoral didn't exist you do know that right?
This is like saying, post fight, "I shouldn't be disqualified for soccer kicking him in the face..." The rules are the rules. If they had been different, trump would have worked hard for the popular vote, not set his strategy up to get the swing states, like every candidate does. Stupid hippies should be used to this. It happened in 2000 as well.
Big_Data - I love it. It's just like complaining about the rules in mma after losing a fight. You agreed to fight under a ruleset. Now you're going to complain after the fact? Sore losers.
We might be seeing alot of that if eddie wins this weekend
The people have spoken. Trump whipped that ass is now our next president. If u support Hillary and the radical liberal agenda, you are limp wristed and need to get to the gym STAT! Now go train
