Yeah, get rid of the electoral college. Then your vote truly won't matter, unless you're a New York or California liberal. People in smaller states shouldn't even go to the polls. In fact, only California and New York, and maybe Texas need to vote in every presidential election from now on. Everyone else can piss off.
How about EACH state be represented in electing a president of the United States, not just the highly populated ones, and that is done by including the delegates of EACH state in the presidential election until one is elected.
I don't need to read your articles...they're bullshit, just like any news site today. I don't buy a damn word they say. It's all based on your bias, which you're not shy about hiding. You can twist it any way you want. And you wouldn't even be bitching about the electoral college if Hillary would have won.
I've never IN MY LIFE seen a group of people whine, bitch, cry, complain, and throw temper tantrums to the point where violent acts were committed and protestors were ruining everyone else's day as much as I have watching the democrats absolutely melt down like 2 year olds because they lost an election...and they're still going. I figured at some point people could stop bitching, but I've definitely been proven wrong there. It is truly an unbelievable thing. What a group of absolute babies.
Politics is preschool for adults, and they damn sure act like it. And like I said before, that includes Donald Trump.
I'm glad we have the electoral college, so two areas of people who have the same political ideology don't elect every president every 4 years.

CORRECTION:
The ARTICLE isn't MINE. I DIDN'T WRITE IT. And it's also NOT a NEWS ARTICLE, but is a part of FACT CHECK which only deals with FACTS not OPINIONS (which also means there's NO BIAS the way you FALSELY CLAIM there is which you'd also KNOW if you bothered to READ IT).
And The one who is having the MAJOR MELT DOWN now is the SCAM MAN who had 2 RANTS during PRESS CONFERENCES on TV on the SAME DAY (one of them also right in front of the LEADER of FINLAND who told us we had a FINE DEMOCRACY IF WE CAN KEEP IT).
And you obviously also don't KNOW anything about how VOTING in TEXAS is a waste of TIME, due to the way it's so HEAVILY GERRYMANDERED, which means the SLEAZY CROOKS in the REPUBLICAN PARTY have a MONOPOLY on the OUTCOME of ELECTIONS in the STATE.
TEXAS also has the LOWEST VOTER TURN OUT in the COUNTRY due to the APATHY of VOTERS who see NO REASON to VOTE when the ODDS are so HEAVILY WEIGHED against them.
But what was FUNNY was how the REPUBLICANS also CHEATED during the CAUCUS in the PRIMARY ELECTION where HILLARY ran against OBAMA.
And even though HILLARY WON the PRIMARY during the DAYTIME VOTE where people went to the POLLS and VOTED for her, that night when others came back again the REPUBLICANS PRETENDED to be DEMOCRATS and VOTED for OBAMA thinking by doing so they would keep HILLARY from WINNING the PRIMARY.
Because like the case was with THE SCAM MAN, they also assumed OBAMA didn't have a chance of WINNING the PRIMARY.
So when they found out the way they'd CHEATED and VOTED for OBAMA in the CAUCUS was also what helped to ENABLE HIM to become the POTUS, they also FREAKED OUT and did away with the CAUCUS which didn't take place during the NEXT PRIMARY ELECTION process.
And that's also the REASON WHY we need to DO AWAY WITH the OUTDATED and CORRUPTED ELECTORAL COLLEGE PROCESS, which is being used to PLACE PEOPLE in OFFICE that MOST PEOPLE in the COUNTRY DON'T WANT being there.

Have you taken a look at the red and blue states in this country?
The majority of the country BY FAR is red.
The higher populated areas are blue. You know, the big cities loaded with crime, gun violence (in gun free zones), and homelessness.
I'm sure you've seen it, but look at the map yourself.

Hell of a lot more red than blue. I'm not saying this to side with republicans. I'm saying it to be logical. Without the electoral college all of that red in the middle of the country doesn't mean shit, and they should just stop voting if the electoral college goes away.
By the way, I LOVE, absolutely LOVE, how you can sit there and call republicans corrupt (which is true) and in the same breath think the Democratic Party is full of angels. That is the funniest part of this entire conversation.
And since you type all of your biased bullshit in bold, I'm supposed to take it more seriously, right? Give me a break. The democrats could execute a child on national television and you would find a way to justify it...that's how brainwashed you are.
I've got some news for you...THEY'RE ALL CORRUPT. Red, blue...the only thing they have in common, is they don't give a shit about me or you.
I'm done now. Nobody has ever changed their mind during a political discussion, EVER, and it becomes pointless and boring to try and keep going back and forth. You think you're right, and I think I'm right. So we'll end right where we began, just like with every political discussion.
Have a good day.

CORRECTION:
Since 3 MILLION more people VOTED for HILLARY than for the SCAM MAN, The MAJORITY in this COUNTRY VOTED for HILLARY. That's the MAIN POINT that was put forth that's been CHALLENGED by YOU.
As for STATES being RED or BLUE, MOST states are also PURPLE (a combination of both COLORS), a situation which you also FAIL to ADDRESS, due to the WAY your MIND has been CORRUPTED by watching the PROPAGANDA CHANNEL, and is only able to think in terms of BLACK vs WHITE when we also have MANY issues that are neither BLACK nor WHITE but are what one calls SHADES of GRAY.

QUOTE:
All states contain both liberal and conservative voters (i.e. they are "purple") and only appear blue/red on the electoral map because of the winner-take-all system used by most states in the Electoral College.
Although the Electoral College determines the Presidential election, a more precise measure of how the country actually voted may be better represented by either a county-by-county or a district-by-district map. By breaking the map down into smaller units (including many "blue counties" lying next to "red counties"), these maps tend to display many states with a purplish hue
Feelings of cultural and political polarization between red and blue states, which have gained increased media attention since the 2004 election, have led to increased mutual feelings of alienation and enmity.[32] The polarization has been present for only three close elections (2000, 2004 and 2016). In the 1996 election, 31 U.S. states were "blue" (i.e. they voted for Democrat Bill Clinton) and 19 "red"

SO NO. The MAJORITY of the COUNTRY is definitely NOT RED.
AND NO what you've said is also NOT LOGICAL either, because what you say also DOES NOT REFLECT REALITY.
Because the REALITY is MOST STATES are REALLY PURPLE (a COMBINATION of BOTH RED and BLUE VOTERS which is also DEMONSTRATED by the WAY 31 STATES were BLUE and ONLY 19 of them were Red in 1996).
And 20 YEARS also hasn't CHANGED the COLOR of a STATE just because the SCAM MAN LUCKED OUT and got a MAJORITY of ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES.
What are you going to do IF and WHEN 40 STATES end up VOTING for his DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT in 2020??? How can you claim the MAJORITY of STATES are RED then???
Obviously that would MAKE NO SENSE that SUDDENLY the MAJORITY of STATES DECIDE to SWITCH PARTIES.
WHAT's more LOGICAL and MAKES MORE SENSE is that MOST STATES are composed of a PURPLE COLOR (a COMBINATION of BOTH COLORS and are not either RED or BLUE).
So you have a NICE DAY too.

We need to get rid of foreign interference in our elections so each vote truly matters. But T-rump knows he can’t win that way, so he called on Ukraine and China for help - just like he asked Russia for help in 2016.
