Repubs are #2

Fun Fact: Republicans have won the Presidential Popular Vote only once in the last 30 years.

Because the opinions of landless niggers and spics are worth less than landed white men, that's a feature not a bug.

I'm talking the last 30, not the last 240.

>californians still kvetching about the popular vote

Every other country uses popular vote

>Repubs can't win under popular vote

>Fact
>There's such a thing as the "Popular Vote"
pick one

There is. Putin just won it in Russia.

>Russia has a system more legitimate that ours

You know what country also uses popular vote? Russia.

So suddenly Russian elections are legitimate when they support whatever point you're trying to make.

They're legitimate unless proven otherwise. Putin may be an asshole, but he won most of the vote.

>Unlike Trump

Libs just jack up the vote count with the big cities. Didnt Hillary only win like 30 counties in the entire country?

Irrelevant, every other election is based on popular vote- Governor, Senator, Representatives, etc.

>Not my problem that Dems like to hang out together in cities, whereas Repubs can stand to live anywhere near each other

you're gay lol

They give that trophy in second place, if I got fewer points than my opponent in any sport (except Golf) I'd lose

>Republicans are habitual losers

^THIS^
I would update it for the modern era and say that people who don't pay any taxes shouldn't be allowed to vote.

People who contribute NOTHING will always vote to take away the money of others. Until there is none left. Then the free helicopter rides start.

Hmmm the modern welfare stated started in 1965...

Sure thing, Vlad

Why should LA and New York get to decide for a country that spans a continent and has a population of over 300 million? It's nothing but mob rule

Learn some more about the way our government was set up you cunt

Why should a bunch of farmers decide a country because they're spread among just the right states?

>Letting the minority consistently pick a president is what you're advocating.

T. Habitual loser

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t trump win loads more electoral college votes? Seems like you losers can’t win even though you’ve destroyed the country and filled it with niggers and spics

Enlighten me how 62,955,202 is greater than 65,794,399

> You can't, Repubs consistently fail Math and Logic, this board is proof

There isn’t an award in the US for the popular vote. Try again Cali and NY kikes.

Back to my original question- Why do we award to 2nd place?

We award first place in what matters, which is electoral votes. Everyone knows the rules and yet some people still complain that they lose when they rack up a large number in something that is inconsequential. There's an image I've seen posted a few times about chess where the person who captured the most amount of pieces wonders why they lost which is a perfect metaphor.

Elections aren't chess, they are supposed to be a counting of how many people support a candidate. That's how a Democracy works- the will of the people.

> Every other election follows this rule.

>HURRR WE SHOULD LET ALL THE POPULATED CITIES DECIDE WHAT THE SPARSLY POPULATED FARMS SHOULD DO

irrelevant, the presidency isn't like other elections. get good, scrub.

>democrat doesn’t understand a basic concept like a metaphor
This is why your opinions don’t matter in real life

Hillary got second place, what was she awarded?

We don't.
Was Al Gore president?
Was Hillary president?

I'd bet you live in a state that Trump didn't give a shit about.

>The electoral college favors just a handful of swing states, everyone else doesn't matter to the president. I happened to live in a swing state, got many visits and promises. Big states like New York, Illinois, Texas, and California didn't matter to Trump since they were already in his pocket or out of reach.

If you want Trump to give a shit about you, abolish the Electoral College.

Trump won:
>more counties
>more electors
>more states
>more land mass
>more taxpayer votes
Those are all more valid measurements than total votes, especially since democrats get practically all of their votes by promising unsustainable gibs that would eventually destroy the country

We did. Twice. 2000 and 2016.

>You can't admit that Repubs can't win the popular vote.

actually the system of lawmaking itself - congress - intentionally mirrors the electoral college. california and wyoming each have two senators.

Fun Fact: The United States is a republican of STATES.

Yep, Trump won:

>more counties
^Farmers and white people
>more electors
>more states
^Low populated states
>more land mass
^Cuz elections are about land mass
>more taxpayer votes
^Legit, but more like more rich, white male vote

All of those are not valid, its a simple how many votes did one guy/gal get versus the other
>Repub gibs are to billionares, at a much larger spend, but the proles in the party are too stupid to see it.

Why are you such a faggot?

Interesting theory, but the last time States tried to leave they got stomped. It's a country mate.

>BTW Trump only cares about swing states, if you don't live in one you're SOL. See

Because I know how to count.

>Get mad bro

> Democrats in 2012: The Electoral College is needed to defend our Democracy
> Democrats today: the electoral college is based on sexism and Should be abolished

>its a simple how many votes did one guy/gal get versus the other
Actually it isn't. The fact is that the only truly valid measure, the only measure that matters, is the number of electors won. Those were the rules the parties agreed to, that's what Clinton knew when she decided not to campaign once in Wisconsin.

>"proles"
Shocker, you're a politically illiterate socialist

Second place tries harder.

> farmers and white people
so you admit you hate White people.
> low populated states
Proof you hate those meanie rural people
> rich white male vote
Muh white privilege much?

> 2008 called, it wants it’s meme back

Because the left are such cucks they accept defeat when they have won.

So California will not secede from the US. I was hoping you faggots would stop ruining our country.

Sauce on this or you're Fake News.

> Democrats today: the electoral college is based on sexism and Should be abolished

You live in a swing state? If not, neither party gives a shit about you. I live in the upper midwest and am guaranteed a presidential visit every fucking election.

> It is in YOUR best interest to abolish the Electoral College.

Does anyone have that picture of the Huffington post articles about the electoral college?

If neither party cares, then why are you a democrat?

Trump won by the metric we use and have always used. Period. What other countries use is irrelevant. If you like there method, live there.
End of argument because what I have just said is irrefuteable and anything you type after this is you wanting a reality than confirms your bias, but does not conform to objective reality.
But you did real good, otherwise.

Both parties are controlled opposition, it really doesn't matter who you vote for.

I live in a place where both parties care. That's why Trump ran on a rest-belt ticket and won. My opinion actually matters.

>Unless you live near the Great Lakes, in Florida, or in the American Southwest (minus California), neither party will even visit you.

Yeah that's not true

Bush in 88 won the popular vote. Bush in 2004 won the popular vote.

Okay lets say the Election is like the World Series, and the Democrats manage to score more points over the series yet manage to lose more games then the republicans. While the Republicans got more games won the Democrats scored more points. The Republicans are still the Winners.

Because we don't want a bunch of niggers , spics and dead people to decide whose president...

Not even close to being true. Most parliamentary democracies are by district, meaning winning by one vote in two districts gives your party two representatives while the other party winning a district by tens of thousands gets them one representative. Add in more than two major parties and a first past the post system toend up with leaders of government with support of 30ish percent of the population.

White is Republicans, but otherwise accurate.

Also, you live in any of the magical places below?

>>Unless you live near the Great Lakes, in Florida, or in the American Southwest (minus California), neither party will even visit you.

> repeating what you said

Eh, fuck them, and fuck you.

Actually it would be Vice Versa.

>Referring to Parliamentary Systems

This is a completely different animal and you know it. You can't even form a government without at least half of them agreeing to make one, which means that moderates usually broker deals with wingers, tempering down left- or right- wing politics.

>A feature we desperately need

>how a democracy works
what's your point? America is not a democracy.

>^Realizes that the system is screwing him

You ever get visited or do they just bank on your autoparty vote?

Yes, because the point is to win more games not score more points.

If that happens that happens.

Because this isn’t a democracy.

Visited. Definitely visited. You?

>democrats starting importing illiterate 3rd worlders 50 years ago
>the 18 year old children of Paco can vote
Hmmmm

^ THIS

When I crap, my shit flows into the Great Lakes, so yes, every fucking time

why do u care so much about being visited? Are you a fanboy for politicians or something?

Why are you replying to yourself?

Nah, I’m going to be living in a Mansion in Africa after Re-establishing Rhodesia and bringing it back to Prosperity.

>Realizes that the system is screwing him
I agree, the government is a total ripoff. The military industrial complex and welfare leeches (some of whom are already rich, like with SS), all at the cost of the productive class.

Swing states are promised all the goodies. It's nice, but how do you feel about supporting states like mine on your tax dollar every election?

It's too bad that there was Russian interference in their election. Their election and your point are both invalid.

Google "Mueller Fired" 24 hours from now.

Because we are a democratic republic. The system was made to curb the power of urban areas as you know we are a nation of states. As you know rual traditionally Democrat hell even socialist areas in the united states are getting more and more red. The hotbed of american socialism overwhelmingly voted for Trump in 2016. Voters in rural areas are having policy pressed upon them that urbanites know nothing of. The destruction of their way of life due to urbanites allows them to win more rural and suburban areas.

The only way this is possible is by committing identity theft and fraud which citizens go to prison for

Well then, have fun with your Twitter-loving, porn-fucking, second place candidates then.

This is how state elections are run, our federal election is more of a compromise between states to encourage smaller states to remain in the union and ensure that five densely populated cities do not dictate federal policy for the entire nation
If you’re not in favor of this policy there are methods of changing it outlined in the constitution

>Elections aren't chess, they are supposed to be a counting of how many people support a candidate

Negative. It's supposed to be a measure of how many STATES support a candidate.

States with larger populations are allotted a significantly higher number of representatives and electoral votes, but you don't hear us bitching because the system works the way it was meant to. It's the fairest system devised.
We aren't a democracy, we're a Constitutional Democratic Republic. We don't decide by Mob rule. We decide by the electoral system outlined in the constitution. Deal with it.

Lol Trump kids are shameless retards.
