Is fair most votes is the winner

2019-01-08 22:06:15 UTC  

Cos if you vote for a small party that dosent stand a chance you're not helping the main party on the other side of the political spectrum

The problem is that in other electoral systems, extremist parties grow easily

Europe is an example of that

2019-01-08 22:06:44 UTC  

Aye

2019-01-08 22:06:47 UTC  

@HM - King of UK + Commonwealth America use a first past the post style system and hillary got the most votes but Trump won

2019-01-08 22:07:14 UTC  

That can happen and it’s still fair

2019-01-08 22:07:16 UTC  

STV dosent have that problem because you continue giving votes to second choices until a party has a majority

2019-01-08 22:07:23 UTC  

How is that fair?

2019-01-08 22:07:30 UTC  

It had happened four times before

2019-01-08 22:07:35 UTC  

Trump got a landslide victory without the popular vote

2019-01-08 22:07:43 UTC  

It happened before dosent make it fair...

2019-01-08 22:07:57 UTC  

It's effectively making some peoples vote worth more than others

2019-01-08 22:08:02 UTC  

Bush jr did it in 2000 and hardly anyone complained

2019-01-08 22:08:12 UTC  

Well they shouldve complained

2019-01-08 22:08:21 UTC  

Cos it's bullshit whoever it happens to

2019-01-08 22:08:50 UTC  

Oh yes they should of complained the fact is oh no they didn’t

2019-01-08 22:09:03 UTC  

And the point is?

2019-01-08 22:09:18 UTC  

The system is broken no matter how much people complain

2019-01-08 22:09:31 UTC  

It happened in the uk Election in 1951

2019-01-08 22:09:42 UTC  

I get your point

2019-01-08 22:09:50 UTC  

Conservative won a overall majority labour got most votes

2019-01-08 22:09:55 UTC  

It's not my problem that people didn't complain back then

Poor Attlee

2019-01-08 22:09:58 UTC  

I wasn't alive

2019-01-08 22:10:06 UTC  

But I'm alive now and I'm complaining now

2019-01-08 22:10:35 UTC  

There where people alive in 2000 who are complaining now

2019-01-08 22:10:44 UTC  

OK but I'm not one of them

2019-01-08 22:11:11 UTC  

Anti trump people crying losers tears

2019-01-08 22:11:29 UTC  

Like how is it logical that the fact other people didnt complain about unfair elections means that I'm not allowed to complain about them now

2019-01-08 22:11:34 UTC  

Where is the logic

2019-01-08 22:11:55 UTC  

It dosent make a difference if its trump or not

2019-01-08 22:12:12 UTC  

If bernie won without popular vote I'd call him out on it

2019-01-08 22:12:48 UTC  

It makes the votes of people in swing states many times more valuable than those of people in large states like Texas or California

2019-01-08 22:13:07 UTC  

Idk about you but that dosent sound like democracy to me

2019-01-08 22:13:13 UTC  

True which is fair

2019-01-08 22:13:27 UTC  

So you admit it's a problem?

But the problem is that the US has to do that

2019-01-08 22:13:39 UTC  

It not a problem at all

The US is a weird country

The States have so much freedom
