...and? That's how democracy is supposed to work

I don't really think the electoral college is really outdated nor useless, if it was the other way and Hillary won the electoral college and Trump won the popular vote we would all be clinging onto the electoral college.

But if there's more people in those states with large cities then what's the problem? That's democracy. The votes of the majority should take precedence. If it was reversed and Trump won the popular vote, he would have rightfully deserved to win because the majority of the country would have said they wanted him. As it stands right now, the majority of the country wanted Hillary, and look where we are.

I mean they probably won't bother pulling an upset just to avoid the impending mess, but lord. I could see the scandal of it all following her throughout her presidency and her getting clocked even harder in 2020, which wouldn't be good. We should really just take the L and focus on re-branding + finding a golden boy/girl for the next cycle.

Take the L? The L is Trump would be POTUS for 4 damn years. Who gives a **** about what would happen to HRC and the Dems in 2020.

This is exactly how a democracy works, though. The winning outcome is the outcome chosen by the majority. It's no one's fault that the largest clusters of the American population are centered in what happen to be strongly liberal states.

There are hundreds of millions of people in the US. I think something like 250m people voted.

It's going to take a while to go through every single one...

But after 12 hours of the polls closing, they already tallied like 90% of the votes

Come THROUGH Madame President.

Yeah the couple million people in Arkansas deserve to have the same amount of voice as the 30-40 million in New York and California. Wow such democracy you need Google the definition of democracy

Exactly. Its ridiculous and always has been, that losing the electoral college but winning the popular vote is enough to keep you from being POTUS. The President-elect even agreed with this a few years ago. Funny how he flip flopped on the issue.

More people voted for HRC to be POTUS. And thusly, she should be. But whatever.

This is why I'm not worried if something huge breaks out of those states flipping back to blue.

Those rednecks are outnumbered.

I'd much rather that she takes office for four years and prevents impending doom, then only serve one term rather than letting T**** destroy our country for potentially 8 years.

OMG If Hillary wins after all!

I am so here for Trump's downfall

[rihannabiggestfan]

Why should empty land have more of a say than big cities? The popular vote makes us all equal like deserved
