    When government is gone entirely and we all live in a utopia of self-determination.

    People, yourself included, will always have grievances with the government and we have the right to air those grievances publicly.

    All this forum is is bitching about government.

    Yet so many refuse to see it as the cancer that it is and instead ask for more as if more water in the boat will prevent it from sinking.

    i think it might be a bigger deal if it allowed for a winner with a much wider margin of the vote. it is so close, i don't see how anyone can really cry foul.

    I agree. She won the popular vote but it wasn't like she won by 10%. The popular vote was basically a tie and people are acting like she got this mandate by winning the popular vote by .1% of the nation.
    Exactly. And when about 50% of eligible voters vote, it's a bit more of a specious argument. The Electoral College works. We are a REPRESENTATIVE Democracy.

    We are supposed to be a Constitutional Republic. Democracy is mob rule. You are right on the Representative and therefore the electoral college exists.

    All talk here and everywhere else leading up to the election was 270...270...270. Period.

    Not one person was on here, or on the internet hoping for a popular vote result and had the shoe been on the other foot liberals would be screaming about using electoral college.

    Look at what getting participation trophies does to a young person. They can't handle defeat.
    I am getting so incredibly sick of this type of comment. this has nothing to do with "losing". it's about the direction of the country.

    well, since the description of AMT is "Politics, current events", it should be expected many if not most discussoin will have something to do with government. if you don't expect it to be about current events and how our representatives react to those events, then maybe unplug.

    Bunker Time!

    In Cali, Trump won 3142 of the 3143 counties by 177.5K votes. LA County, alone accounts for Hillary's entire million vote lead.

    Psst. Any word on who won Michigan? Anyone have any theories on why Michigan isn't credited to Trump yet?

    Trump did not win every County in California except 1.

  • I guess I'm confused by what you're talking about.
