Europe is an example of that
Aye
@HM - King of UK + Commonwealth America use a first past the post style system and hillary got the most votes but Trump won
That can happen and itβs still fair
STV dosent have that problem because you continue giving votes to second choices until a party has a majority
How is that fair?
It had happened four times before
Trump got a landslide victory without the popular vote
It happened before dosent make it fair...
It's effectively making some peoples vote worth more than others
Bush jr did it in 2000 and hardly anyone complained
Well they shouldve complained
Cos it's bullshit whoever it happens to
Oh yes they should of complained the fact is oh no they didnβt
And the point is?
The system is broken no matter how much people complain
It happened in the uk Election in 1951
I get your point
Conservative won a overall majority labour got most votes
It's not my problem that people didn't complain back then
I wasn't alive
But I'm alive now and I'm complaining now
There where people alive in 2000 who are complaining now
OK but I'm not one of them
Anti trump people crying losers tears
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
Where is the logic
It dosent make a difference if its trump or not
If bernie won without popular vote I'd call him out on it
It makes the votes of people in swing states many times more valuable than those of people in large states like Texas or California
Idk about you but that dosent sound like democracy to me
True which is fair
So you admit it's a problem?
But the problem is that the US has to do that
It not a problem at all
The US is a weird country
The States have so much freedom
And that's why the Electoral College basically upgrades them
Every vote counts wether it be in a marginal or a safe area
The US can't be compared to any othee nation to the way the Government works
