Trump won over 3,000 counties

[Auld Phart]

It reflects the will of the voters on the state level. You need to remember that the federal government did not create the states, rather the states created the federal government.

Big deal. The voters are the people. Hillary got more than 2 million more votes from the people. Yes, Trump won on a technicality, but it was only a technicality. The majority of the voters don't support him.

Yes, Trump won on a technicality, but it was only a technicality.

That 'technicality' has decided elections for a couple of centuries

The majority of the voters don't support him.

The majority of the country does

Nope. More than 2 million more voters said the county chose Hillary. Trump weaseled a win, but it doesn't reflect the will of the country.

If the country had chosen Hillary, she would have the Electoral votes to show for it.

Why do you want two or three states to decide the presidency?

1 California 39,497,345

3 Florida 20,636,975

4 New York 19,842,724


5 Illinois 12,837,801

Win those 4 states, you have the popular vote locked up, the other 46 get fucked

Well no. The electoral college doesn't reflect the popular vote. I acknowledge that is how our system works. but it still doesn't reflect the will of the voters. If it did, more votes, which Hillary received, would select the president.

The electoral college doesn't reflect the popular vote.

To the contrary, it does, per state

I acknowledge that is how our system works. but it still doesn't reflect the will of the voters.

You really do need a refresher course in civics.

So more votes don't determine the winner. Hard to say that effects the will of the majority of voters.

 

[Auld Phart]

twist it, spin it, doesn't matter.

Electoral votes win the presidency, not the popular votes

You are absolutely right. Even if that doesn't reflect the will of the voters.

It reflects the will of the country, not a couple of states

Does it? How's that?

The will of the country isn't the will of the states. It isn't the will of the people. It's the will of something someone decided to make up hundreds of years ago.

So, you're fine with 4 states deciding the presidency?

I'm not good with a smaller number of voters appointing that orange clown as president, when there are more votes against him.

they do, per state.

and they get electoral votes for having the most votes

then all the electoral votes are counted, and the person with the most become president.
Haven't they covered this at your grade level?

Then get the Electoral College removed,

Little hint for ya,

It'll never happen.

 

[Kat]

Q: How many times was a president elected who did not win the popular vote?

A: It has happened four times.

Last time it was Bush.

Presidents Winning Without Popular Vote

And Bush wrecked the country.

What does that have to do with it. Sheesh. Stop trying to hijack, please.

You brought up Bush the minority president, Kat, and I correctly pointed out he wrecked the country.

But, we weren't discussing how the country was run. We were discussing the Electoral, and Popular vote.

Sorry your slomo does not get it. A minority president, selected as has been Trump, wrecked the country. The link is obvious and so is your denial.

Yours doesn't get it either, and is oh so obvious. So I guess we are even.

No, I'm not. I've been calling for a change in the system for a long time now. I'd like to see Proportional Representation in at the very least the House with a run off system for the Presidency. Even better would be the Senate having some kind of PR too.

Again. I know Trump won, and why he won.. His election doesn't represent the will of the majority of the voters. The vote count reflects that.

 

[edthecynic]

Minority president elect Tramp won the lazy unproductive TAKERS and lost the patriotic MAKERS.

That's pretty darn hysterical, even coming from you..

And that is a testament to your brainwashing.
The fact remains the patriotic Clinton voters are nearly twice as productive as the lazy Tramp voters.

No, it represents the will of the majority of the states

The vote count reflects that.

only in state

No it won't, why? Because too many people benefit from it to want to see it disappear, and in order to make it disappear you need the approval of those who benefit from it.

Still doesn't reflect the will of the people. Hillary got more than 2 million votes more votes than that orange clown.

Take away the millions of anchor baby votes Hillary got and Trump easily won the popular vote of TRUE Americans. There I obliterated your stupid talking point. Trump won and will be the president, suck it.

 

[BluesLegend]

Holy shit that's pretty impressive.

Hillary Counties Produce 64% of Economic Output

Damn empty land has gained a whole lot of power. The suddenly bleak future belongs to the unskilled and uneducated apparently. Go Trump!

The Republicans in Hillary counties have a job, the Dem's sit around on welfare, millions of them. LOL so much for your point.
