Hillary Clinton only lost because the Electoral College is fucking retarded.
She had more votes than Donald Trump. However she lost because the United States are so fucking retarded and behind compared to the rest of the world and use the stupid Electoral College system where meme man becomes president despite Clinton actually getting the most votes. This is not democracy. This is not equality. Everyone's vote should be equal.
You know why such measures are in place? To stop the unwashed masses from voting for the most good looking or the most charming or the most popular. This systems prevents retards from hurting themselves. Most voters don't know read up on policies, they don't care to, they will parrot whatever the media tells them to parrot so to safeguard against this, the most popular =! the most qualified.
Kevin Cook
Actually the electoral college is set up to prevent populists and demagogues like Trump from getting the white House. But because libtards are so concentrated in small urban clusters they waste a lot of their votes and Trump was able to out flank them going for rural working class voters. He did the impossible, single handedly. Whiny libtards BTFO.

what do you not understand about this faggot, if popoular vote mattered, then california and new york would get to decide every fucking election.
Trump won the popular votes in most of the states, so he get's to represent THE UNITED STATES bitch jesus christ how stupid can you libtards be.
Have your stupid popular vote when you decide who the governer is.

Fuck off you dumb nigger. Muh democracy is a meme. We were never intended by our founders to be a democracy, Washington realized how fucking retarded it would be to have a bunch of retards in the cities dictate politics to the entirety of the country. We were meant to be a representative republic, and the electoral college is the way we do it, not by letting sandniggers and spics shove the ballot boxes full of votes.

Hillary was also a demagogue. Demagoguery has been rampant in the media and it was all left leaning.
Trump decided to take a more right leaning demagoguery and won because he was a breath of fresh air.

Read the federalist papers to get an understanding of why America implements a system like the EC. You can agree or disagree, but the intention with the EC is not random.
As a Trump supporter I actually expected him to lose because of the EC, but was prepared to accept the results anyway.
wew thank god you didn't go for the "america is not a democracy, it is a republic" your statement is the truly accurate one.

Our current voting system grants more equality than a nation wide 50+1 majority takes all.

SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT POPULAR VOTE?
>The popular vote doesn't matter because we use an electoral college system. The candidates use tactics built to win the electoral vote, not the popular vote. Trump wasn't trying to win the popular vote, he wanted the electoral vote. >If we used a popular vote system, then the results would be entirely different. There is literally no evidence suggesting that Trump would lose the popular vote if we had a popular vote system. Democrats in republican states and republicans and democrat states have poor turnout in the electoral college because they don't think their votes matter. >Complaining about Trump winning without the popular vote is like telling the two candidates to play chess, Trump checkmates his opponent, then you complain about the rules of tic-tac-toe.
bonus: >If you cut out the illegal immigrants that voted, people that voted multiple times, and bring back the thousands of ballots that were destroyed in Broward county, Trump probably won the popular vote.
Brandon Perez
>the United States created its republic while the rest of Europe were still cucked under absolute monarchs and despots >"Your democracy is fucking retard and behind everyone else's!" No, Europe is behind us. Direct democracy and popular vote is fucking retarded, it's literally "babby's first elected government" tier shit. It only works for very small nations. It has no checks and balances against corruption or power.
The US does. The election IS a popular election. It is determined by the popular vote. It is determined in each individual state by the popular vote of the people, and then is turn determined in the country as a whole by the popular vote of the States.
This is the same reason we have a House and a Senate. The House is determined by population. The Senate is equal. One cannot work without the other.
The Founding Fathers realized this. They realized that most American voters are very uninformed. They knew that it was not fair that a candidate from New York could literally not campaign in a single other state and STILL win the popular vote simply by merit of campaigning in the state with the largest population.
The US has one of the most advanced and secure forms of democracy on the planet. I don't expect mongoloids to understand it. There are checks and balances for everything, it is essentially tyranny proof. The one thing the Founding Fathers didn't take into account was the growth of Big Business and its ability to buy influence in Washington. Perhaps one day that will be amended, but for now, it is the best form of democracy on the planet.

>You know why such measures are in place? To stop the unwashed masses from voting for the most good looking or the most charming or the most popular. Except that's exactly what got Trump elected in the first place. The EC isn't some clever way of keeping demagogues out of office, it's a vestige of the British class system. Oh, and FYI: not only did Hillary have more of a mandate from the people, so did Mitt Romney. Romney got more votes than Trump. So even conservatives aren't really behind The Donald, and collectively see him as the lesser of two evils. (or at least they don't like him as much as they liked Mittens).
Luke Morgan
Hillary Clinton lost because the DNC is retarded

Tyler Evans

Adam Walker
Also this. A Republican in California is not going to bother voting and a Democrat in Nebraska is not going to bother voting. The campaigns are centered around securing electoral votes because that is what is needed to win. If they needed the popular vote to win, they would campaign with the goal of achieving that.
Millennials are literally to fucking dumb to understand politics. Coincidentally, that is also why you have to be a certain age to run for office. Young people think with their feelings and not their brains.

Absolutely this. This is why voting districts exist in the first place, because otherwise candidates could just win through appealing to citizens of large cities and ignore everyone else.
The same thing exists here in Canada. There are areas in Toronto where the difference in votes per candidate is in the thousands, and there are rural areas that don't even have thousands of voters in them.

Charles Bennett
not really mate, it exists to distribute representation across all states. If the USA went by the popular vote like a smaller country a candidate would just have to campaign in a few populous cities and they'd be good to go. Nobody would ever campaign in New Hampshire or Maine and so on.
Just campaign in Dallas a bit, Houston, NYC, LA, Orlando etc. Welfare systems would be the platforms that'd always win and shit like that. Rural areas would have 0 representation n shit.
European way of governance. Ie, masses dictate the rules for the rest. It's an ass backward system.
Julian Jenkins
The constant bashing of trump supporters and skewing of hillarys support had a two-fold effect. It basically turned most of trumps supporters into 'shy trump voters' who didnt report the fact that they were supporting trump. It also had the bonus effect of making most hillary supporters stay home because they thought the election was in the bag. Election day comes, everyone shows up to vote for trump. GG

The way they would campaign is to focus on major metropolitan areas because those people are sheepish cosmopolitans with terrible ideas and a low threshold for proven results. It would fuck us up to the point of European style "social democracy".
The EC has worked in our favor. It is a tool worth keeping. The ethics of it immaterial. Who cares about that. We're in a fight with subversives.

I actually wanted to create a new thread explaining this. Some people sure are fucking retarded it seems. The whole game is based upon winning specific states. That's why the candidates held so many rallies in battleground states in the last weeks.
Winning the popular vote is like having won more points in a game of tennis or volleyball while losing the match. Nobody gives a shit about it.
Read it, you fucking leaf. Without this, we'd be basically One Nation Under California.

Nigger, the only alternative to "tyranny of the majority" is "tyranny of the MINORITY".
Meanwhile, republicans are in power despite a lack of mandate. How is that better than the will of the people being represented in Washington?
Your party should be a historic footnote by now. No Republican non-incumbent has won the popular vote since 1980.

holy shit why is there so much confusion about this
they teach this shit in schools, right?
The way the Republic works is the individual STATES choose the presidency. That's the way it was designed. the # of electors and the # of citizens isn't supposed to be a perfect ratio
Say if there was a huge turnout in NY and CA, but a small turnout in several smaller states, NY/CA woudn't be able to impose it's will on the other states.
Same in reverse, rurals and suburbans can't push their will on urbans simply by having a slightly higher turnout. etc
The country has to vote in UNISON, State by State. Each state votes as it's own Republic within the Union.
