Trump had fewer votes than Romney (how does that happen?). Trump lost the popular vote. It's impressive he won and all, but honestly it feels more like Hillary lost rather than Trump won.
I think what bothers a lot people is that if you don't live in one of the half dozen or so battleground states, there's not much point in voting. Why bother to vote in Wyoming, California, Oklahoma, or Washington. Your vote may be counted but it's not going effect the outcome. This is the beauty of the electoral college. It makes most people's vote superfluous. I tried to explain our electoral college to a friend visiting from Europe. He said it sounds like a rigged system which of course it is.Trump had fewer votes than Romney (how does that happen?). Trump lost the popular vote.

Except pretty much every state mattered in this election, so.....I think what bothers a lot people is that if you don't live in one of the half dozen or so battleground states, there's not much point in voting.

It's happens 4 times.It's not like it has never happened this way before. We go by the Electoral, not the popular vote. So the popular vote is moot.
That is the kind of situation it is designed for; why would we dump it then?It's happens 4 times.It's not like it has never happened this way before. We go by the Electoral, not the popular vote. So the popular vote is moot.
If the two parties split at some point in the future which could happen, a Democrat, Socialist, Republican, and Conservator party, the House of Representatives would choose most of our presidents because no candidate would likely have 272 electoral votes. That would be when we dump the electoral college.
flacaltenn, party pooper.

Working on getting that campaign meme to disappear. Don't encourage the delinquents.

I guess you would prefer a bloody civil war to settle the matter instead?
Hey, my Mom is a saint; she aint got no pussy!No "pussy". I wonder how many of you guys talk about your mom's pussy like that.
/jk
Kat, you do know that guys talk that shit when the gals arent around all the time, right?
There is a Sacred Ring of Trust and Confidence to never let the ladies hear it though, and if a guy does slip up and get exposed for the "pussy" abuser that he jokes about being, then he is shunned and pronounced Anathema by all the members of said Secret Society.
Seriously. We have the bloody handshake, secret signals, hidden vault meeting rooms, the whole 9 yards.
LOL no. I have never been around guys talking like that. Just remember we are all sisters mothers and daughters.
Most people either don't understand or don't like the electoral college system so when their candidate wins the popular vote but loses the race, it seems unfair. This is understandable because every election except for the president, the majority rules. We've been taught as kids that the majority always rules. In congress and political circles, winning the popular vote is important otherwise you're being given permission to govern by the minority of voters which doesn't seem quite right to most people.I don't think it brings down Trump's victory one bit. He won the battleground states fair and square by appealing to the voters in those states. Who cares of California, heavily liberal state, came out in droves to vote against the anti-christ the media created for them to attack? It doesn't matter much.
Still, these were two terrible, flawed candidates. It was almost like a race not to lose. Trump came out on top and i'm hopeful for his prospects as president. I hope people come around and give him a chance but it looks like the wingers on the left are going to refuse to give him a fair shake, just like they accused the republicans of doing for the last 8 years.

No, they don't like it if it means their guy/girl didn't win cause of it. If the roles were reversed, no democrats would bring up the flaws of the electoral college system. The game has rules, everyone knows them going in. It's sour grapes to complain about the rules after the fact just cause you don't like the result.Most people either don't understand or don't like the electoral college system so when their candidate wins the popular vote but loses the race, it seems unfair.
