I agree. It's brainless. So why is the other party still crying about winning the popular vote?

Congratulations! Both parties partisans are brainless sheep content to eat grass where they're lead.

Any confusions about this still? Why did I have to explain this to you other than you laughably think that it's just the OTHER party?

Well, I don't know....maybe because people think their actual vote should matter Why should people bother to vote if it doesn't even count. The electoral college in states shouldn't be winner take all because it doesn't represent our vote. Divide the electoral votes depending on the votes each candidate gets. That's the only real way our vote counts. I live in a blue state but there are many republicans who live here. Their votes should count too

A typical liberal/SJW mentality.

If you don't live in NYC, DC, Boston, Philly, Chicago, San Francisco, LA, Seattle then they think you live in a farm hick village in flyover country.

13 states existed before the federal government. The other 37 did not and states CANNOT leave whenever they want. Neo-Confederates you lost the Civil War, GET THE HELL OVER IT
Except it's Leftist California Democrats that want to leave now. My bad, it was Dems that wanted to break up the union back then too

well no and no.

Clinton fund raised in California, she didnt campaign there. just like trump went to fundraising dinners in New York.


And no, Clinton did not lose to Senator Obama because the states either campaigned in His margin of victory is the texas caucus and the Superdelegates.

The Democratic party primary is not winner take all so the EC map isnt the same.
