I don't think you understand just how thinly spread our population is in vast swaths of the country. The worth of a person's vote is not decided by how few neighbors they have.

I think I understand that, hence Hillary winning the popular vote. A completely irrelevant fact, but she did.

So most of East Bumf*ck voted for Trump. He still lost by a massive amount.

2,864,974 votes as of today. There's 15 states that have a population smaller than that amount.

How so? You are evidently fine with politicians serving or gunning for public office taking money from our enemies for "charitable causes" based on the convo we've had so far...or at least you'll allow it as long as they're Democrats. Stop deflecting and either address the system as a whole or not at all.


Is being purposely vague your way of hiding some kind of intellectual deficiency? Does Russia have mind control powers? Those darn Commies must be further ahead of us than we thought! They saw the future of our media giving Trump billions of dollars of free advertising and hacked everyone's brains! OMGBBQWTF


He loves publicity: he doesn't love scrutiny. If he loved scrutiny, as I said before, he'd have never run for the presidency. Clinton didn't care because she felt she was protected and supported by her husband, Obama, CNN, etc.. Trump? He was a laughingstock from day one. If he enjoys being antagonized, why does he get so angry? I think my analysis was sound.

It's pretty weird that people are so frustrated by the fact that more people=more votes. Still, even people that are all about the electoral college now that it favoured their candidate should recognize the fact that the winner take all system makes millions of votes absolutely pointless. Then again, if they are supporting the electoral college, I wouldn't expect them to know anything about it except for "it helps us good folk beat the dirty liberals."

Why is it irrelevant?

Urgh, don't lump Democrats in with Liberals. Also the electoral college is either a good or bad thing, the winner of an individual election doesn't change that.

I'm talking about people who all of a sudden support the electoral college because of this single election so...

You posted that radio dj before, he was a great example of that.

Elaborate on why a majority vote does not matter in the United States.

Bonus points if your argument doesn't only focus on the semantic difference between a republic and a democracy.
