And if you lost the popular vote, you could parse the totals and push the narrative that you won with younger voters, ie the future generation. And if you lost with them you could show that you won with the college educated demographic, the smartest and most qualified electorate. And if you lost with them you could say you won the popular vote among economists, and whose vote matters more when the economy and jobs are so important now? And if you lost there, you could say you won in states with the highest economical growth, suggesting that those who understand what it takes to "make america great again" believe you best understand it. And... and...

It's all goal post moving. It means little.

But if the goal is for everyone's vote to be weighted the same, wouldn't the popular vote be the most logical choice? Obviously that wouldn't affect this election, but in the future?

[–]kiraxa1NC 46ポイント47ポイント  (8子コメント)

Every vote being weighted the same means say goodbye to 80% of the landmass of the country. Look at how disdainful people in NYC and California are of all the states that are not NYC and California. And then realize they would decide every election from now on. We are NOT a democracy. Direct democracies lead to tyranny of the majority and are terrible.

Treat each state like it's an individual country, they already have their own government. The federal government's role is to facilitate safe and easy trade between the states and to defend the borders. Look at the EU, you would never say that Germany and France are the same country or deserve unequal representation in the EU, but they are part of the same trade organization. This may not be a completely accurate comparison, but I think that it is an important idea to translate how to understand the idea of state representation. The states agreed to be part of the union, but are strong armed into not leaving and have constitutional right to leave.

[–]buttfacebonerbuddy 8ポイント9ポイント  (4子コメント)

Look at the EU, you would never say that Germany and France are the same country or deserve unequal representation in the EU,

  • Laws made in Brussels effect France and Germany the same

  • The EU is not democratically elected

  • France and German don't control their own borders or immigration policy

mfw ppl still think that France and Germany are their own country

[–]bydy2UK 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I live in Germany, border controls aren't illegal, but only Bavaria does it (and occasional border controls to the Netherlands and Poland).

Germany is still pretty much it's own country (other than fishing/borders/ECB influence), having better standards of living than most European countries, as Germany likes to shit on the EU regulations they make other countries abide to.

Germany controls it's own immigration policy, the government is willingly taking in refugees (and are dumping them on towns, telling German cities they have to accomodate the refugees AND pay for them)

I see merits to the electoral college and the popular vote models. Neither is perfect, but neither is horrible. Besides, it is pointless to discuss models when the issue of voter fraud can kill both systems. I still cannot believe Americans can vote without ID, and I cannot believe the lack of security at voting stations.

But all of this kind of misses the point, u/polysyllabist2 is saying that it doesn't matter what the rules are, the globalists will still complain instead of admitting defeat. All citizens should accept the leader, and wait until the next election.

[–]CantContheDonMAGA 12ポイント13ポイント  (9子コメント)

Without ID? That's nothing.

In Cali they sign illegals up to vote when they give them driver's licenses. They openly court it. They don't care.

[–]120811049008CAN 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

That just blows my mind.

In Canada you register online or by mail. Either way you need to provide valid ID.

Then, they day of the election, you go to your voting station. You present your ID, and then some very old person (likely a volunteer) searches through an entire book of names for people registered to vote at that station. They find your name, take a ruler, and cross it out with pen. Then you get your paper ballot and you can vote.

Try to vote at another station? Sorry, go to your registered one, you aren't on the list.

[–]AlzeronNE 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

While the Electoral College could use some work (more in making the "Winner Takes All States" go to the "Maine Way" that Nebraska and Maine use), it's still infinitely better than popular vote. Remember the United States is just that. A federation of STATES. The whole point of the Electoral College is States' rights, so that smaller states like Nebraska or Kansas, etc, have at least some sort of say rather than states like California, New York, and Texas overpowering them completely.

To put it in larger terms. If the world did popular vote, China and India would force their desires on everyone else.

And if you lost the popular vote, you could parse the totals and push the narrative that you won with younger voters, ie the future generation.

That was the post-Brexit vote narrative, along with the concept of "voting regret" - the media would interview random people who apparently regretting voting for Leave (but never vice versa) even though polls afterwards showed most people were happy with the decision and did not want a "second referendum".

I'm guessing you would have seen something similar to this also.

[–]ColSandersForPrez 25ポイント26ポイント  (1子コメント)

Also, the electoral college exists because states exist. Yes, those pesky states that keep the federal government from just doing whatever it wants. Those same states would never have agreed to form a union if they were simply going to always be outvoted every time by more highly populated states. You can't tell Minnesota that California, New York and Texas are going to be deciding all of their laws and not expect Minnesota to scream, "taxation without representation!" The popular vote is of interest only to big government, globalist types, that want to easily control the country. Sorry, but, our ancestors were not idiots.

To even boast about winning the young votes which has the least amount of life experience, knows the least amount about politics and which have a large percentage not even working is quite laughable at best.

[–]RonDeGrasseDawtchinsMAGA 14ポイント15ポイント  (11子コメント)

From what I've seen on Facebook, a lot of young people voted for Hillary just because the celebrities they follow were Tweeting about her all the time. Either that, or they bought into the whole SJW "Trump is literally Hitler" narrative.

They seem to know very little about the actual politics.

But they can become either a Bishop/Knight (He), Queen (She), or Rook (Zhe) - which may lead you to believe that Chess is up with the times - but it's still forcing gender norms like only males being Bishops or females being Queens.

No it doesn't. If you've ever had to make a fire using kindling or indirect heat (like rubbing sticks or magnifying glass) it starts to smoke before it catches fire. Things can smoke without catching fire like wax or plastic

What I'd like to know is that I fully understand that you must "check your privilege" (especially if you are a White cis-male aka the embodiment of "pure evil"), but how is it done? Are you expected to quit your job out of the blue and take a stab (no pun) at selling rocks on street corners? Do you have to wear an "I'm sorry" t-shirt every Friday to work? Do you offer blowjobs to minorities? Do you give $5 to every Black person you come across?

What specifically do these assholes kind, tolerant, open-minded, non-violent, gentle folk expect from those compelled to check their privilege? Are you expected to check your privilege indefinitely (as in, the entire duration of your life) or is their a certain point where equity is reached and you no longer have to check your privilege? If someone has to check their privilege with no end in sight, is suicide preferable?

Hillary won the total vote count by 2 million. 45 times this many people didn't even vote. There is no way to know how they would have responded if they knew that their vote counted regardless of if they were in a safe democrat or safe republican electorate.

So not only do the campaign teams have different strategies if the goal is different, but the voters do as well.

Their argument is dumb. They don't even know why they say it, they were just told to say "mention the popular vote" by Michael Moore.

That is a great analogue you used by the way.

[–]Keiichi81 30ポイント31ポイント  (2子コメント)

Exactly. How many Republican voters didn't even bother going to the polls in heavily blue states like California because they knew their vote was worthless and didn't matter? Switching to a "popular vote" argument after the fact is not only unfair to the candidates who would have campaigned differently if that was the goal, but also unfair to the voters. If they want to switch to a popular vote system, they'd need to essentially have a whole new election, campaign and all.

The same situation can occur in a parliamentary system. A party/coalition can get more total votes than its opponents, yet lose in the number of seats won in parliament (winner chooses the Prime Minister). And it has happened.

In the 2015 UK elections, the Scottish Nationals got less votes than the Liberal Democrats (4.7% vs. 8%). Yet the SNP won 56 seats while the LD's only got 8 seats.

In Canada, the winning Liberals got 7.5% more total votes than the Conservatives, but won nearly twice the number of seats.

She didn't even win the popular vote if you take out all the fraudulent ones.

Remove California and she gets destroyed.

She got a plurality of the vote not a majority, small but very important difference

It's cute how suddenly the popular vote is being talked about by Hillary people "as if" it were the real secret vote and now there is a controversy or real legitimacy issue.

IF they want it to be by popular vote that's fine. Trump movement would have focused on just California and NY and maybe won by a bigger margin than ever before.

Until then, its not a popular vote nationwide. So nobody was campaigning that way. Trump faked them out early on by saying he was going to go big in California and New York... Hillary Team panicked and dumped massive time and resources on those in the beginning giving Trump a big head start on 'swing states'.

Trump 1000 Hillary Zero

I'm not convinced. Can someone please ask Jill to recount the remaining pieces?

Donald Trump won the tax base. Isn't that more important? ;)

You know what else was a rule for centuries that is now outdated? The hate of gays, anti abortion laws and discrimination against other religions. Oh wait you stand for that😂 racists

Trump campaigned to win the Electoral College. So did Hillary for that matter. If the direct popular vote had decided the election, then Donald would have run a different kind of campaign and may have well won the popular vote. Of course we'll never know, but one thing is clear. Trump played by the rules and won the Electoral College and he will be our next president.

Great post, but is that a possible chess arrangement? How'd the king get there without getting into check?

Trump won 84% of all US counties, THAT is the reason the electoral college exists, it's comparable to Inda, China and Nigeria deciding elections in a hypothetical United States of the Planet.

It's like at the end of a football game the losing team wants to instead decide the winner by who had the most total yards offense instead of points.

I do not begrudge Trump the election one bit, and fully agree he won fair and square and should be the next president. But I still support eliminating the electoral college, and even Trump himself has expressed support for eliminating it, despite the fact he just won the election based on it. I think that actually shows very strong moral integrity, that he wasn't fully moved on that issue despite the fact that he benefited from it. I was against the electoral college before this election and would have been against it if Clinton won without the popular vote as well. Don't kid yourselves, everyone on /r/the_donald would be absolutely livid if Clinton won without the popular vote. This has nothing to do with anyone 'unfairly' winning. It has to do with the fact that the popular vote is a more fair and democratic system. And in case I get downvoted, keep in mind Trump himself holds this view.

He expressed support in 2012 when he wasn't a politician.

Now that he understands why it exists (to put more states into play) he doesn't want to change it.

If the election was by popular vote, Trump would've campaigned differently. (i.e. fewer rallies in states like New Hampshire, Iowa, Ohio, and Florida, and more rallies in states like California and New York).

There was a post on /r/HillaryClinton a few days ago talking about how Hillary was "surging" in the popular vote totals.

Sounds about right.
