    Though I'm sad Trump won, it's not true that someone who wins the popular vote but not the election has thereby been cheated.

        Electoral votes are what candidates campaign for. If the winning candidate had been campaigning for the popular vote, he'd have got more.

        are you saying you're fine with changing to vote count for future elections?

        It would probably be better. But don't know enough about politics to say for sure.

        think u know more than most but I hear u. The actual usage of EC by parties casts doubt it's actually serving the democratic process.

        with all the respect, you know I have for you, act like a part of the resistance, not an apologist. Do not normalize. Fight.

        I'm not fighting an election result. I'm fighting for the republic. He won but Trump has no mandate and is unfit. I will fight.

        I never said he didn't win. But he has no mandate. And I will fight him and his fascist impulses.

        .@paulg true. Thank you for reason here. I support neither candidate, but many Hillary supporters need to concede not rage against democracy

        They didn't cheat. They just gained power via circumstances that give them no moral authority to lead or claim to will of people

        But I agree — you can’t retroactively change the rules of the game.
