Actually, the American people voted for her—by 3 million more votes. The Electoral College voted for him. Her flaws don’t change that reality. https://twitter.com/Bmw2163Heart/status/1029032739968835595 …

Sure, and it’s also possible, even likely, that they could have lost. There’s no way to know. But we do know for a fact that Trump got 3 million less votes from the American people than his opponent, but more votes from members of the Electoral College.
Way to totally miss my point. The direct vote is not relevant if that's not the electoral system the country is using to select leaders.

Again, that’s a different conversation. All I’m saying is that it’s not accurate to say “The American People chose him,” if 3 million more American People voted for his opponent. It’s factually incorrect. Saying he won the election, the EC chose him, etc, is accurate.

It's relevant insofar as we care what the majority of the public wanted. No individual goes to the ballot box thinking they're voting for an elector.

@TheEricWeston@primalpoly@aliamjadrizvi But some individuals did not go to the ballot box because they knew their vote did not matter in the state they lived in. (E.g. Me). Different contest rules would have resulted in different voter motivations. - 1 more reply
