      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.

          you're right, there are different reasons she was cheated. Russia, Wikileaks, Comey...

          not sure the point you're making. I'm saying she was NOT cheated, that number includes MI where Obama wasn't on ballot.

          Thank you for saying this! 🙏 It escapes so many people that a campaign's strategy is based on the system it's working in.

          it's the same thing with his taxes. Unless there was actual fraud, there's nothing wrong with not paying taxes due to carried losses

          yes, but she would've gotten more as well.. or do you think she already focused on the popular vote? Do not follow your logic.

          You seem to be assuming zero correlation between inherent traits of candidates and electoral college biases?

          yes, but isn't the point of it to prevent any president "who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications"?

          Your statement is completely unsupported. What evidence do you have that Trump would've won popular vote if that was what mattered?

          How do you figure? He could've campaigned in NY and CA but so could Clinton. There's a hell of a lot more votes against him there.

          There are more people in big blue states like CA and NY than big red states like TX. campaigns for popular vote would favor Dems
