the electoral college suppresses a lot of the vote by discouraging people from voting. there must be millions of people who say "my state is blue/red anyway, so why bother" and just skip it
whereas if it were a national popular vote, as it should be for the president, then their vote would count. as opposed to this bullshyt, where everyone on the losing side in the state gets their vote thrown in the trash
Remove five counties from Cali and it's Red as Dawn. Entire states are blue only because the majority of the population lives in one or two cities... fukk everybody else.
Electoral college has a place. If the only votes that count are the five burroughs, miami-dade, LA, and Philly.....yeah, no.
For myself I want every absentee ballot to be counted because guess what: they don't.
Clinton LOST damn near 6 million of the votes Obama gaines. this is not a problem with popular vote versus electoral count. this is strictly about a toxic candidate who couldn't be bothered to campaign herself to prove why she was the best option and expected other people to do the heavy lifting for her.
Someone elsewhere pointed out Trump talked jobs and putting people back to work while Hillary focused on crap only the media cared about. No one cared about Trumps locker room talk. Cuban ladies got on tv and said who gives a fukk. They wanted to hear about shyt Clinton was not focusing on.
Trump did. Trump wins.
