he didn't get a plurality of votes

We did, maybe the popular vote didn't win, but that isn't how this country is ruled, and those who wish it were gone, most certainly don't realize what would happen if we removed the electoral college, and handed over the votes to the cities.

it's not how the country is ruled
but are you going to say that morocco shouldn't listen to the people because "that's not how the country is ruled?"
i mean, we can't pretend that the election was in any way democratic

i'm not sure what you think "abolishing the electoral college" means but it isn't "handing the votes to the cities"
it's "handing the votes to the people, who may or may not reside in a city"
and what the forget would happen?

that's your retort
that's
that's what you're going with
okay
globalism isn't inherently bad, it's just that it needs to benefit people rather than corporations or countries
it's sorta weird, i see this aversion to globalism on both the left and right and it's the main thing i disagree with sanders on
