The DNC decided Obama had the bigger appeal to win the election so they went for him. The primaries were never been about voting totals.

Ahh.

So your point is that Democrats only care about the popular vote if they don't get their way.

Don't expect Trumpbots to know, or understand, those things.

Calling people silly names only means you lack argument based on knowledge or understanding.

I'm asking you Democrats why you only care about the popular vote now, when you didn't in 2008.

i.e.
  • Hillary wins Popular Vote in 2008 Loses Election to Obama - Democrats OK with This
  • Hillary wins Popular Vote in 2016 Lose Election To Trump - Democrats want to tear up US Constitution
So address that, not the people who post here.


(how does it feel to have been 100% wrong about the election)
