This was a joke me and Squidbee did a while ago.

It's still a joke tho

[TheABELBOTO]

No one remembers

[Toxicology]

[Frequency]

I really hate the electoral college system. The fact that a candidate can win the popular vote, and still lose the election, is just...ugh
Don't get me wrong, I understand how the system works, so I'm not saying it's rigged or anything. I just think the system is stupid.

yeah it's loving stupid but this time we won 😱😱😱

Worked for obama

obama won the popular vote both times

A majority of America is white, If you made it a popular vote minorities wouldn't have as much of an impact as they do now, tribal

Suportting minorities isn't even the intention of the system. The intention is to give smaller population states a larger voice, and avoid large population states like California from having all the voice.  But, even as the citizen of a smallish population state (Minnesota is about in the middle in number of electoral votes), I disagree with that sentiment. I don't believe my vote should be weighed more than the vote of someone in a higher population state.

What are you talking about?  My whole point is that someone shouldn't lose the popular vote but win the electoral vote. But Obama didn't lose the popular vote; he won the 2008 popular vote 52% - 45% and the 2012 popular vote 51%  - 47%.
