Then an interlude of blue for LBJ

2019-02-01 05:02:54 UTC  

Even on Kennedy reds majority voted for Nixon

2019-02-01 05:03:17 UTC  

I’m just amazed how the population has grown so much since then

2019-02-01 05:04:07 UTC  

And what’s even weirder is the electoral votes for 2016 don’t match the popular

2019-02-01 05:04:12 UTC  

And every other time they did

2019-02-01 05:04:22 UTC  

I didn’t look past 1950 but seriously

2019-02-01 05:04:55 UTC  

Four times

2019-02-01 05:06:49 UTC  

Big think

2019-02-01 05:07:05 UTC  

So apparently the electoral college was enacted before slavery ended

2019-02-01 05:07:19 UTC  

However the popular vote always lined up until 1876

2019-02-01 05:07:54 UTC  

Thanks Rockefeller/Carnegie/Morgan

2019-02-01 05:08:06 UTC  

Nah that was later on sorry

2019-02-01 05:08:20 UTC  

Yeah you making sense no

2019-02-01 05:08:29 UTC  
2019-02-01 05:08:55 UTC  

Damn and tilden was close too

2019-02-01 05:09:05 UTC  

Like if not for 2 electoral votes he would have been president

2019-02-01 05:09:48 UTC  

If Florida had its shit together then Iraq the sequel wouldn't have happened

2019-02-01 05:10:02 UTC  

**trillbo#9758** just left the server.

2019-02-01 05:10:28 UTC  

Actually I think all the electoral ones are also republicans winning

2019-02-01 05:10:44 UTC  

Especially the recent ones

2019-02-01 05:10:59 UTC  

It makes sense really, the way the population is spread out

2019-02-01 05:11:09 UTC  

Cities are usually more blue

2019-02-01 05:11:18 UTC  

Yeah from what I’ve seen

2019-02-01 05:11:25 UTC  

I’m not sure how electoral are decided

2019-02-01 05:11:28 UTC  

lol obviously buzzfeed fired mostly "poc" and LGBT employees because of their fuckin diversity hires

2019-02-01 05:11:39 UTC  

its just idiotic to throw your vote away by voting for either of those two parties

2019-02-01 05:12:01 UTC  

I mean and I always saw it electoral always wins so when the electoral was high for trump I kept thinking: “you fools.”

2019-02-01 05:12:05 UTC  

Just vote for schultz maybe he will stand for something someday

2019-02-01 05:12:22 UTC  

the next commandment of social justice shall be "thou shall not fire any LGBT or coloured folks"

2019-02-01 05:12:31 UTC  

And I commented it at the time and even my mother disproved me

2019-02-01 05:12:39 UTC  

The EC has a lot of issues

2019-02-01 05:12:48 UTC  

And these elections are always split down the middle

2019-02-01 05:13:01 UTC  

It's a good way to pretend to have a democracy

2019-02-01 05:13:25 UTC  

It's not supposed to be a democracy

2019-02-01 05:13:29 UTC  

Yeah I can’t pin us down

2019-02-01 05:13:32 UTC  

@Table Praiser the main issue being that people which will not die in the wars they vote for get to vote

2019-02-01 05:13:33 UTC  

It's supposed to be a repubilc

2019-02-01 05:13:38 UTC  

Exactly

2019-02-01 05:13:42 UTC  

It's not that, either.

2019-02-01 05:13:57 UTC  

We have federalism I guess

2019-02-01 05:13:58 UTC  

ppl mad donald trump won with the electoral college but the game has those rules and he played to win
