“without it, only 4 or 5 huge cities would determine elections!”
yes.
because that’s where people live.
that’s how population density works, deborah.
Hillary lost. Suck it up.
The United States is a federal republic, not a direct democracy. It’s designed to consider the interests of all of the states. The electoral college ensures that states with lower populations still have a voice.
Never forget that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2,864,978 votes.
Never forget that about 1.6 Million of those votes came from New York alone, which is why we have the Electoral College in place so that a single small highly populated section of the country cannot force their way into speaking for the rest of the country as a whole.
Never forget that another 260,000 can be accounted for in D.C.
Or let’s talk about the elephant (hehe irony) in the room. California.
Whom gave that woman 7,362,000 votes.
Keep getting mad because Hillary won the popular by a whole Nevada, the 35th most populace state.
Meanwhile, Trump won 30.25 (.25 for Maine’s 1 of 4 vote for him) states. He won almost 61% of states. States, you know, who vary wildly between one another on interests, perspectives and desires. In 61% of states, the general public voted in favor of Trump. In 3/5ths of the states, the people had a popular vote and it net Trump their states. That’s the just shy of the 2/3rds fraction it takes to impeach a goddamn president or to override a presidential veto.
I’d rather have 61% of states sway in favor of a less than ideal president than have single-state-ruling California, with nearly 12% of the population, swing the elections every four years. At least with states, we have what’s called a swing state for a reason.
The people chose. It just wasn’t your galpal.
LOL! Jeez, this woman can’t even take a hike in the woods without lying about something!
