''After Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, the left in America is demanding that the Electoral College system put into place in 1787 be scrapped. But there’s a hidden reason for this.''

“This is all about race,” O’Reilly said. “The left sees white privilege in America as an oppressive force that must be done away with. Therefore white working-class voters must be marginalized, and what better way to do that than center the voting power in the cities.”

“Very few commentators will tell you that the heart of liberalism in America is based on race,” O’Reilly said. “It permeates almost every issue — that white men have set up a system of oppression and that system must be destroyed!”

i mean the electoral college was created to give more power to the white slave masters so i guess bill o'reilly isn't wrong

"The left wants power taken away from the white establishment and they want a profound change in the way America is run"

I mean, true

He's literally proving it

"They want to take our privilege away, which we won't let happen. Oh, and we don't have privilege anyways, so no point taking it away. We don't want you to take it away though!"

Aren't the majority of liberals white?

And? That's not some sort of secret? That was literally MLK's goal before the white establishment killed him.

maybe if the GOP would start changing their platform to encourage minorities to vote for them they wouldn't have to rely on a voting system that inflates the power of rural voters (almost entirely white). I mean the fact that the Republican candidate has only won the popular vote in 1 of the last 7 elections and yet America keeps getting Republican presidents is just

California has 38.8 million people and 55 electoral votes, meaning they have 1 electoral vote for every 705,000 people in their state

Wyoming has 584,153 people and 3 electoral votes, meaning they have 1 electoral vote for every 194,717 people in their state

If California's electoral votes were distributed the same as Wyoming's, they would have about 200 electoral votes but instead they only have a quarter of that

I'm waiting to hear the downside...

He's right but the way he's saying it is just condescending. As if it's a bad thing to get rid of the racism in the system and embrace America's diversity.

Ya'll realize this is a dog whistle too right? He ain't slick.

When liberals were either electing a white woman or man, they were attempting to "take away power from whites'? Alright....

Wow white people are taking power from white people !!!!

it's barely even that. it's on the verge of being completely transparent.

It always is nice when assholes acknowledge that they want racism to continue.

The electoral college needs to go. The argument that "people shouldn't be ruled by what California, New York, Massachusetts and some swing states want" because it's unfair seem too deft to realize that the majority of Americans being saddled with a president that received fewer votes is WAY MORE UNFAIR.

I don't understand why those who fight against racism or sexism constantly highlight these traits in the form of "first Black president" or "first woman president". If sex or race is a trait like any other then I don't see why it should be highlighted in any form other than describing someone physically. Trump, for instance will be the first non-politician president or the first president named Donald. Everyone is first in something.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the sex, race or sexual orientation of a president as long as they're a good president.

Well that's because those are huge milestones in the history of this country. It is huge to have the first Black man be President and it would be huge to have the first woman as far as history goes. It shows a shift in demographic where at one time Black people and women were not allowed to even vote.

Just cause someone else is the first of something else, doesn't mean it's as big of a history moving moment. Clearly what they do also matters more than that, hence why it's not the defining part of the presidency but the policies are.

Feigning blindness to those qualities of a person doesn't mean they are not there, no one is praising Obama just for being Black or saying he is better for being Black and getting elected but acknowledging the historical fact that he is Black and became a President. Something so unthinkable half a century ago.

And the media has been reporting on how Trump is the first to not hold political office or be in service to the country to become President anyway. Unlike his name, that has to do with how those who want to be President but are not in government or service view becoming President. That could possibly set a precedent for more people like that. That would be something that opens opportunities and doors.
