>Presidential candidate gets substantially more votes than competitor.

votes aren't the method for selecting the president

>how can someone lose a chess game if they have more pieces on the board

The majority of voters (50%+) voted for Trump or Libertarians. Trump won.

How many fucking times do we need to explain something you should already know from 8th graxe civics?

The why do we vote?

Obviously I'm retarded. That's out of the way; now can someone pls spoonfeed me? How exactly does this whole thing work?

Nah, you're too dumb.

OP I HOPE YOU DIE IN A FIRE, KIKE
>From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.

This is a shitty thread and you should br ashamed for making it.

People organizing democracies learned early on that cities tend to have more people and can vote against rural interests ( lets rezone all the farmland into suburbs :D ) so things needed to be implemented to balance the equation. That's why even though the EC still is loaded in general by the number of people in an area, you can't have 5 million mexicans just "outvote" another US state.

>why do we vote
you're right, you shouldn't

Union of STATES

not Union of Individuals

Nigger

...

you vote on who your electors are

>she's looking at the math backwards
>women being in charge of common sense

>Okay so we lost, but .... are you sure we lost?
C-can we go over the rules once again?
fuck off faggot
sage goes in all fields

As I understand it each state in the USA represents a set amount of votes.
And those votes only go to one candidate.

So, you vote as a state and not as an individual.

The short version is: America isn't a democracy, (((they))) just tell people that to make them happy. The truth is, voting doesn't matter. The president is decided before the ballots even open.

>assuming Op made it through the 8th grade
hahahahahah

OP is retarded.

It should habe been explained to you in 8th grade.

The election results were already determined before the beginning of space/time.

We vote on who represents our state.

This type of thing happens frequently when their are some few States that feel strongly against a candidate but the majority of States support them

This is done because the United States of America is the UNITED STATES. Ultimately it's 50 different governments that all come together every so often to agree on a particular thing. Mix in the supreme court that gets chosen by the president of the United States (which gets chosen by the States) and you have yourself the government of the United States

he is probably a nigger so never went to 8th grade

Ask Bernie

Yeah, sure, "election". In an election, the person with the most votes wins.

voting is the method your state legislature decided to use to select the electoral college members. the legislatures themselves used to select the electors directly.

Among developed countries only France picks its head of government by direct popular vote. Even that only via two rounds. Their guy Macron is just as unpopular as Trump after taking office. People need to stfu about the Electoral College.

OK, jesus I'm sorry for starting this shit thread but I can't delete it.

Illegal immigrants voting in Commieofrnia.

Why the fuck do you think they're not participating in the voting fraud inquiry?

>Obviously I'm retarded
Seeing as you work for shariablue for minimum wage, that's a yes.

KYS.

That applies here as well.

Our parliament is elected with direct votes. But the parliament picks our Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the winning party, but there is no legal reason why that should be the case. They are free to pick anyone.
Our leading party doesn't even have 22% of the votes.

(Ignoring the fact that we are a monarchy. )

>Illegal immigrants voting in Commiefornia.
This

Yeah, it's funny Brits and Anglos afaik don't think it's an outrage that Turnbull and May were put in by party decision. It's insufferable to hear leftists in the U.S. constantly complaining about the Electoral College with clearly a tacit assumption that the U.S. "two-tier" system is somehow an outlier. It's fine to criticize it, but that the system isn't what they want doesn't make it illegitimate.

If California and New York decided every United States election, what incentive would the state of Kansas have to be a part of this union?

We would be 50 individual nations instead of one nation divided into 50 states.

Our national motto "E pluribus unum" is latin for "out of many, one"
