majority does not necessarily mean more than half. she got more votes than anyone else: a majority

[Nonnel]

Every vote should be equal
A vote from one state should weigh no more than from another state
This is an obvious means for corruption when you have 538 government people voting for the president rather than the 230,000,000 Americans

Because then the majority will have a monopoly over to minority, that is the issue in poplarity votes. This also doesnt give fair representation for the wntire country, only a small part. Despite what the media tells them, its not all about them.

You're not representing the majority of people if you decide to elect the minority leader. There's literally zero point in democracy if you discount what the majority want.

If it were a popularity based vote, then everyone outside of the cities would always get forgeted. That's what people don't seem to get. Popularity is not a fair representation. Although Popularity determines electoral votes, the counties within states determine where the electoral vote goes. If that last part wasn't the case, then yes a lot of states would have turned blue, but that isn't a fair representation since they only make up a fraction of any given state.

Popularity is not a fair representation.

how is it not lol

[Master Matthew²]

how is it not lol

Did you not read the rest of my damn point.

Population doesn't not equate to representation. People clusterforgeted into urban areas shouldn't represent an entire state, let alone a country. Thats why states are broken up into counties. Representation not Population, other wise the cities would control the country, it would be absolute lunacy.

[Gytyyhgfffff]

also, 3 million illegals voted in the election.

ok then

Cities control the economy and have all the people so they should represent the population

that means 52.1% of the country didn't want clinton in office. and like i said, 3 million illegal voters(which obviously went to clinton), which would give Annoying Orange the popular vote if you subtracted them.

[Master Matthew²]

ok then

Don't 'Okay then' This.

People who aren't legal in this country shouldn't even be here, let alone allowed to vote.

taking that 3 million out, she loses the popular vote too.

[Nonnel]

except it never happened

You know what the second most important thing for life is? It's food and last I checked there are no farms in NYC

[Foxscotch]

that means 52.1% of the country didn't want clinton in office

more than that didn't want Annoying Orange in office. failing to understand what point you are trying to make

[Jairo]

that "3 million illegal voters" claim seems to be unsubstantiated

all I see are articles from cnn, breitbart, conservativepost, etc. about it

along with some really suspicious "election night gatekeepers" website

[SlayerZ99]

it'd make voter fraud much easier. also, the electoral college has been very important for states rights and smaller states. it gives more people a say. if we just had direct vote, why would a candidate care about rural voters when you can win the election with the votes from the urban population? it forces candidates to give a stuff about smaller states. mob rule is not good.
 i'll have to look into it.

they might care about rural votes when you have an election that is decided by ~1 million votes


okay, say that this map represents the spread of the entire US population throughout the country and each circle represents 1,000,000 people and what party they voted for. So the majority of Americans, for some reason whether that be the beaches, no mexicans, or whatever live on the East coast, West coast, or Canadian border. So even though you have Patton, his frat boys, and a few other Americans living in bumforget midwest america, the majority of americans live else where. Figure this, they also share similar views and decide to vote blue. Yes, Patton may share views similar with the people he lives around but unfortunately for Patton the majority of Americans live on the coasts and voted again him so therefore Patton loses :(

It'd be like having an electoral college for the house of representatives
