I keep seeing this…and I still cannot fathom how people do not understand how the US election system was designed.
Does this like a one sided victory to you? Because it does to me.
We're not the "United Large Cities of America" or the "United People of America", we're the United States of America. Which means all STATES have a say. Just because one city in one state has more people in it than Montana doesn't mean Montana doesn't have a proportional say in things.
God, why can't people grasp this?
Have you ever been to montana? Have you ever been to wyoming?
You're using my home to make a point but I'm not sure you really know what you're talking about.
Saying that a giant, concentrated collective has more say than other more spread out (and diverse) populations is shitty.
No and No.
My point is this. Chicago has 2.7 million residents, all in a tiny space. Montana has 1.04 million, Wyoming has .584 million.
Saying that a giant, concentrated collective has more say than other more spread out (and diverse) populations is shitty. I chose those two states mostly at random, but there is a point I'm trying to make.
My whole point is this...the hard left wants to cry "We must have DIVERSITY!!!!" every chance they get. Once the election went the way it went, they all of the sudden want to swap that stance to "majority rules'.
If majority rules, then it could easily be argued that the voice/needs of the current 196.8 million white citizens far outweigh the combined needs of the black (37.6m), native American (2.2m), Asian (14.4m), mixed race (5.5m), or Hispanic (50.4m). I mean 196.8m having absolute say over the combined voice of 110.1m seems pretty logical to me...right? Well, with those that are currently bitching...it would be wrong. They want equal say diversity when it suits their purpose, and all or nothing majority rules when it suits them. Pretty typical stupidity.
Our forefathers wanted diversity represented in the elections, thus every state has a proportional say, that's all I was trying to get across.
My only beef with the current electoral system is that states are all or nothing. If the overall isn't that way, the states shouldn't be either.
It's those concentrated areas that make this country function. Reality much?
Pretty sure our forefathers didn't contemplate tiered voting rights in favor of Montana and Wyoming.
No and No.

In case you didn't know the Democratic voting block was diverse. Whites made up a solid percentage of Clinton votes.
Clinton's 3rd best state also happens to be the Whitest, most rural state in America. Go figure.
But anyways nobody is saying that a voter in Chicago should have more say than a voter in east bumfuck. They are saying that they should have THE SAME say.
The "founding fathers" also didn't think that direct election of Senators was a good idea. But we has since changed that.
Our forefathers wanted diversity represented in the elections, thus every state has a proportional say, that's all I was trying to get across.
our forefathers didn't care about diversity being represented. they put the electoral college in there as a failsafe since they didn't trust the common man to make a good decision.
depending on your politics, that may have clearly backfired in this case.
Depends on if you side with Thomas Jefferson (raping slaves, pro genocide, but expressed "beliefs" that every American could self govern) or Hamilton and Madison, who believed that people needed governance because they're humans.
if you want to know why there is so much protesting..
it all makes sense now.
The American left is especially in favor of getting rid of the electoral college and relying on the 'popular vote' because a key left strategy is pandering to 'the poor' and 'immigrants'- people with a higher birth rate and who in future almost guarantee their political supremacy. It is an especially underhanded tactic that relies on 'the poor' staying poor and large populations of second-class immigrants staying second-class.
Tell me if I'm wrong here, thinkers of NG.com...

It goes back to Jefferson, who wanted every vote to count
And Hamilton, who planned the electoral college for the express purpose of protecting the poor and underprivileged from themselves.

The next POTUS said:The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes
White people have been voting Republican since the 1980's. And we see how that has worked out for them.
Huh?
Funny how all that "Russia hacked the election" stuff quietly disappeared once the electoral college voted him in. Is this that "fake news" I've been hearing so much about?
