who thinks trump is gonna win the popular vote?
The popular vote is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
> who thinks trump is gonna win the popular vote?
@SamTheG I don’t know at this point. This election is even more confusing then 2016
> who thinks trump is gonna win the popular vote?
@SamTheG sorry idt he will
Plus it's like if 48 states vote red but say Cali and NY go blue but have more popular votes... why should 2 state dictate to the other 48
me neither
It's why we have the electoral college, so that we don't basically have California and New York deciding what happens nationwide
if polls are very wrong trump might win the popular vote just barely
It’s unlikely he will win the popular vote
Equity, diversity, tolerance, openness, multiculturalism, cosmopolitalism, ~~communism, violence, lawlessness, mediocrity~~, fairness, justice, "freedom" and other words the left will tell you.
Like last time
i remember listening to someone complain about a state having the minimum of 3 electoral votes meanwhile california has like 55
But that argument is just ‘people I disagree with have more people on there side’. If big cities are more liberal, that’s unfortunately just how it is
The electoral college was only an issue when Trump won
Big cities shouldn't dictate what happens in rural areas though
i just can't believe that they have texas as a "toss up" in most polls
They didnt care about it before then
That’s not fair is the point
Two states shouldn’t decide the government
I’m not saying abolish the EC, I’m saying I would not care either way, keep it or abolish it
Only reason Hillary won the popular vote was because of California
i care because pop vote would ruin the country
Look at the map of the 2016 election by county, and then realize that even though damn near the whole country was red, Hillary still won the popular vote
That basically means you don’t care if your vote is counted
the thing is electoral college forces a candidate to win different regions of the country with different cultural identities and different type of mindset
> Only reason Hillary won the popular vote was because of California
@Mr.Hashi#6960 but republicans would be so much more likely to vote it Cali if their vote actually mattered
If California wasn’t in the equation, trump would won by 1-2 million votes
like trump won the rust belt the south the great plains he even won an electoral vote up in maine
But California matters, just because they are liberal doesn’t matter
The fact that cities arent able to self sustain is why I think if any conflict does arise, it wont last long as the rural portions will cut off cities of supplies and then the cities will be unable to do shit cus they'll be fighting themselves more than anything
But you dont always win electoral college
You do if you win
Just because there are more people in California doesn’t mean Cali should decide what happens in oregan and Idaho and Utah
i mean republicans need to really work up the minority vote so they can actually get more than 30% in california
For some reason a lot of people don't realize that we aren't a strict democracy. We're a democratic republic.
i really wish i could just say things and not have somebody argue about it occasionally, you know?
I wouldnt even say that it's more republic than anything else
some things you just can't talk about without someone gettin all up in ther
What’s the problem with 51 percent of the general population deciding the election? If your argument is ‘well 51 percent is liberal and stupid’ I would argue that that is not a good argument, just republicans being afraid of being outnumbered.
That’s not the point
