Gerrymandering.

Clinton did not lead by voters. The vast Majority of media outlets were found to have disproportionately polled more democrats, likely in hopes to dissuade trump voters. However, when the people actually voted, the people chose the candidate that the governement wanted the least.

That is True Democracy, and whether he succeeds or fails is on our shoulders now.

are you retarded op?

We live in a republic, not a democracy.

I love how every election dipshits don't understand this.

Trump won the popular vote and eletoral. Everything is going according to plan.

Clinton won the popular vote you imbeciles. Trump only won because of the electoral college. Which is bs.

A republic is a democracy famalam

republicans living in california dont get a vote

democrats living in alabama dont get a vote

everyone, both voters and campaigners, understand the existence of the electoral college and make their decisions based on that knowledge

to any idiot thinking trump actually stood a chance if everyones vote truly counted.

But not a direct democracy.

True democracy is both sides building their whole campaign on lies and then the voters picking their candidate based on those lies.

Then half of the voters will be completely ignored for the next 4 years because of the lmao fptp-system where the winner takes it all.

Good luck with your civil war ayway.

How about you look up what Republic and Democracy means before posting, you pleb.

No it isn't, If we do not use the electoral college then NYC and LA would decide every president, this would enrage every other state and break the system, which Is already fairly broken.

By this logic though Obama would have never been re-elected

Our elections are set up this way because majority rule is bad. There needs to be protections for the minority and our founding fathers understood that and built the system with rules that can benefit the minority when needed

Basically, get a shower, you're covered in salt

>user : it is X, not Y!
>user 2 : X is actually a Y famalam
>user : But X is not a Z, please notice how smart I am

One that managed to elect the better candidate.

to any idiot who can't handle the truth and tries to make themself feel better by making up lies.

/thread

You mean the cities with the most people in them?
That makes sense.

>Does the majority not count in your country?

Here in Canada, weedman got elected with only 39.5% popular vote. Single turn with 3 main parties and we get an SJW with full power. There is no perfect system.

They didn't finish counting all the votes, but the EC is there to protect us from situations like KilLiary winning the Populist vote (using dead people and illegals) but stomping over the fact that a lot of people still live in places other than major urban areas (yet are forced to pay for all the urban giveaways).

We are making America great again boys.

A democracy is when the guy that the people vote for the most wins, a republic is when the people elect representatives who then decide the winner.
There, easy, I didn't even have to break out the crayons

Instead you'll have the same amount of people living in identical conditions, only then in rural areas completely decide the vote.

America's political system is actually so bad it's laughable.

Well in your case, then true democracy and a TRUE vote will never take place. It's the same as the bush/gore election. Gore deserved the win, Bush won electorally. Idiotic american system. IF every single vote counted for themselves, the dual party system would not be even nearly as strong as it is today. Third parties would ACTUALLY have a chance, as well as independents.

This two party system will always be an issue for however long the electoral college exists. When America realizes that the electoral college is faulty and needs revamping, and they actually start making votes count. Is when a corrupt america can finally be avoided and people can live in peace knowing that they actually did something for their country.

If you live in a state, and vote democrat for a state that eventually turns red after polls close. Your vote for that state doesn't matter anymore and is basically no longer counted because the "red" won the whole state. What sense does that make. None

It's only like this because the shitty people in power need to die off. Majority of the boomers, and I'm one of them.

>gerrymandering
>I don't know what gerrymandering is: The post

Still not understanding the benefits of supporting minorities? A majority rule is just a dictatorship with a middleman

There are more people outside those cities than there are inside them.

the perfect system is ALLOWING EVERY SINGLE VOTE TO COUNT ONE FOR ONE. A POPULAR VOTE IS THE ONLY WAY ELECTIONS CAN BE TRULY EQUAL AND TRULY WORTH WHILE.

317 million americans.

~130m actually vote lol

Are you a fucking moron? It's to ensure that fucked up liberal states like California and NY can't grab an election single handedly.

yeah but it will also run the country into the ground

...

OP can't count

Rural American won this fucking retarded ass election. Niggers that are still living in the sixties and working as fucking MAILMEN and BUS DRIVERS have chosen the path that this country will take for the following four years.

Amazing.

Majority rule is just a dictatorship with a middle man faggot

ITT: millennials flaunting their ignorance

kill yourself op

well, isn't it just a democracy based on state and not individual? more people in that state votes red. Democracy wins and say that state is red.

Not in a country built on strong state/weak federal government structure. This country was founded on the states holding the power. President in this country isn't actually as powerful as people make it out to be. The real power in this country is in Congress. Which again is set up to protect equal representation of states.

Mail men and bus drivers are unionized. They likely voted Hillary. Small businesses voted trump

Those guys a hilarious!

They know shit and think they capable to have a real discussion.
They deserve their new president, he's truly one of them.

...

It must be blissfully nice living in that tiny little bubble where the world is a nice place and that isn't the worst idea imaginable.
Even the most cursory google search will show you all of the reasons that doesn't happen, but hey, I guess you're about to find out that being mad and stamping your feet doesn't actually make the world form around your image of it

Listen you literal garbage can. Yes, New york and california have big populations of people who vote blue. but when you have a WHOLE TWO REGIONS that vote RED, It equates, a popular vote would simply make things better. You're too afraid to admit it.

Every election, The south and midwest are completely red, the northeast blue and the west blue. But all together? POPULAR VOTES ARE STILL ALMOST EQUAL EVERY TIME. VOTES ALWAYS GO 48% 48% or 49% 51% IN THE POPULAR.

THIS SHOWS HOW EQUAL POPULAR VOTING WILL BE. IF TRUMP AND HILLARY AS CORRUPT AS THEY BOTH ARE CAN BOTH GET 48% OF THE VOTES IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. THEN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS A SHAM AND IT DOESNT MATTER ANYWAY.

>candidate X gets 48% of the vote in a state
>candidate Y gets 48.1% of the vote in said state
>candidate Y gets every single electoral vote in said state

I don't even know how this could be construed as a democratic process to be honest.

Because our vote doesn't matter

In parliamentary systems you can get the exact same outcome.

Those aren't lies, you just don't understand your own electoral system.

The majority won retard!
The minorities should never rule in any nation! Thats dictatorship!
Thats why they are called minorities!
One countries minoritys are another countrys majority!

Go start a riot so I can make fun of it

I do. Maybe I should've used the word excuses
You think you're some kind of genius? You think nobody put any thought into the system? it's what works best and it has been proven to.

>diffen.com/difference/Democracy_vs_Republic

That's completely wrong.

Republic = no monarchy.
Democracy = the population in general has a meaningful (legal) say in the government by some means.

do you not know how it works. Majority vote don't mater. issue becomes about land. more land you got less vote you get.

Can =\= will
Something working out now because of the availability of a checks and balance system does not mean that it will continue to trend in such a way without that system.
You are incredibly dense.

clinton only won the popular vote because of widespread electoral and voter fraud.

haha ikr

enjoy your new american dream faggots

Wasnt it the same with niggerbama vs mccain? Why you didnt cry then libcuck?

>In this much denial

say it with me homo, PRESIDENT TRUMP

>ITS RIGGED!

I see you're not old enough to remember that Bush lost the popular vote twice. Your point is now invalid.

The U.S.A. was nnever a democracy; it's a constitutional republic. Good thing, too, because clearly the majority of Americans are too stupid to be trusted with anything of import.

In France we vote our President directly.
First round with all candidates.
Second round the two remaining from first.

Mailman and bus drivers in the same category, wow look at the hillary supporter go.
>people who don't support importing terrorists and special snowflake syndrome are dumb huehhe

It's just God's will.

The USA has always been a democracy.

Please look at the French Republic presidential electoral system.

Right now it's people who've never left their village in the middle of bumfuck nowhere voting with next to zero knowledge about any of the issues deciding the election.

The difference in popular votes is literally less than a fraction of a percent.

That's called a tie, dumbdumbs.

RIOT NAO YOU MUTTERFUCKERS!

LETS GRABE PUSS ITS LEGAL BY ELECTION

>second Republican in a row to win the Presidency without winning the popular vote
It is a problem, and even worse it only seems to benefit Republicans.

They're working on getting rid of the electoral college in enough states to end the system.

And yet, you are still a country of socialist cucks.

>What kind of democracy is this
one of the 18th century.

You also surrender to germany after two weaks and your police is scared of niggers and arabs and i also heard you like to eat frogs and your girls dont clean their vaginas because you baguette-riding motherfuckers like nasty cunts, so please don't ever post again.

Minors and felons don't count, dummy

For such an incredibly spread out country, American turnout is actually pretty high.

How idiotic. We've been through this. It makes people VOTE more for the ones that don't, trust me on this 'murrica.

Clinton was behind in three popular vote when she conceded nigger

>Trump wins
>his supporters still think the media is lying to them

This isn't even unexpected you goddamned retard

JUST STOP

No you retard it's on trumps shoulders. Good luck.

you're wrong and millions of Americans in dozens of states are fixing it, with or without you.

Trump says he wants all Americans to count now that he's President.

His first act should be proposing the dissolution of the electoral college and let every vote count.

>yfw he he's coming up with a way to make himself emperor for life

>wanting the entire nation to be ruled by LA

Right. Say hi to them for me would you?

>whines about rigged election entire campaign
>wins without getting most of the votes
>ignore everything else and pretends people actually chose Trump

I never imagined you had any principles, but this is pretty shameless.

electoral college usually swings for dems...so okay.

Yeah and what are you gonna do when he shut down your little cuck site meant for loli pussies?

>an hero you piece of shit

>New York this week became the 10th state (plus D.C.) to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The compact represents a clever workaround to the Electoral College. By signing on, states agree they will award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote (for example, New York would have given its electoral votes to George W. Bush in 2004).

ITT retards who want america to be ruled by Houston, LA and New York

Bush and Trump both won Presidency without electoral college. Clinton and Obama won by both popular and electoral votes.

You're so wrong.

>Bush and Trump won without popular vote
fixed

Morons like you have zero understanding of justice. The electoral college exists to keep large population centers such as New York or L.A from single handedly running the country. Also Trump won the popular vote too retard. Stop using MSNBC as your news resource.

As it stands now, Hillaly leads in the so-called "popular vote," which is a thing that doesn't exist on a national level in our country.

Had the election been run on this "popular vote," both candidates would have campaigned differently, and the outcome might well have been the same: Trump wins.

Wrong pleb.
The electoral college usually "swings" (cuck word) with the candidate who holds the popular vote as well.

If more people live there, then that's how democracy works, retard

>The electoral college exists to keep large population centers such as New York or L.A from single handedly running the country.

The EC exists because in the 1700s communication was too slow to allow people to make 'informed' votes for a president. So people selected a voter to be their representative and make an informed vote on their behalf.

They have the president they deserve. Prepare for the lulz.

She won the popular vote, and everyone knew she would.

Everyone also knows it doesn't matter, but many people think it should.

So why does gerdemocracy work so much better?
