The post of a crybaby who just ate sour grapes




Let's play a game.

Imagine for a second that Trump had received 100 million popular votes and Hillary had only received about 30 million.
But despite that Hillary had won the presidential election...


I want you to tell me honestly that you would stand behind the correctness of that vote and wouldn't be pointing out the discrepancies or ridiculousness of the system in which that can happen.

Because I don't believe it.

The reason the popular vote argument doesn't work, is because that was not the rules of the game going in. It would be analogous to a team that won yards passing, yards rushing, time of possession, first downs, turnovers, and penalties, yet had less points on the board than the other team at the end of the game, yet still claiming victory. Trump could have spent time campaigning in CA, MA and NY and easily picked up an additional million or three votes.

Then don't believe it. Because I would. Understand the system. You will see why it works so great

Why does it work so great?

One need only review current events.

You're right. Trump won the election. No question.

But he doesn't have the right to claim he has a popular mandate. He won, but he didn't do so because most of the country agrees with him.



Wrong. The country does agree with him. A majority who live in the big cities dont.

Then what is 'the country'?

The majority don't. The majority of everyone.

Yeah but to be fair, Trump is such a whiny bitch he isn't accepting the election results even though he won.

I saw you needed help. So I did for you. After all, that is what counted.
