Because in recent times there have been two republican candidates (George W. Bush 1st term and Trump) that have lost the popular vote but won the electoral college to be nominated president. It would happen again if Trump wins a second term.
Lol, actually like you said before it's just the dumb timing of it all. I mean if these stupid rust belt states just counted fast like FL and lit up in blue at 10 pm est, there would have been a briefly cathartic "well he gone at least" moment. Instead we got rosy polls and anticlimactic drip drop results days later.
I would take the under on that...... I did really well last night......... the bettors went CRAZY even when the reports were that the early voting returns were not counted in the Midwest. I am done putting money on this one.
I have to admit it is a bit cathartic watching Republicans wet their pants and scream about vote rigging when Democrats have been suffering that, legitimately, forever.
When your candidate wins by 2,800,000 votes and loses.... When the Supreme Court goes 5-4 in favor of the party that nominated each of them, for a state decided by fewer than 600 votes and still conducting its recount, with tens of thousands of mostly African-American voters disenfranchised (which somehow the media tended to ignore, including CNN and such), not to mention thousands of former prisoners in that state having their voting rights stripped...did I mention the state's governor at the time was brother of the to-be President?... When in THIS election the Democrat has 2,000,000+ more votes than the opponent and has to squeak by thanks to the states' electors... When Puerto Rico is not a state despite its millions of citizens being of the U.S.... When Washington DC is not a state and its largely African-American population has no representation in Congress. Other than those reasons, I find little reason to complain that democracy is what you make of it. EDIT: And you know what's funny (not "funny ha-ha", but "funny weird"), is this sort of thinking makes me liberal? That all United States citizens should have the right to vote and have that vote count with no bulls***. But then you get a malignant narcissist grifter assume the Presidency and hypnotize nearly half of the voters with Jedi mind tricks. Why couldn't Biden quote Jabba the Hutt at one of the debates: "Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me."
The latest scumbag Trump tactic. Get his goons to go down to wherever they're counting votes and start **** there.
Maybe if you didn't force a shitton of people to only have one precinct they could have been done by now
Democrats win the popular vote, but lose because of the electoral college I also hate how it magnifies just a handful of states, and the rest can pretty much get ignored Is it really democracy if guy the majority of citizens end up electing doesn’t become President?
I think it’s hilarious as hell that this time the creeping nightmare of vote counts slowly eroding away is hitting the Republicans this time. It’s very cathartic that the shoe is on the other foot.
Sorry if this has been mentioned, but if this does go Biden's way, history will show Jorgenson with a Nader-type role. According to WSJ vote tally as of this posting, that libertarian ticket has about: 38,000 in Wisconsin 11,000 in Nevada 58,000 in Georgia 59,000 in Michigan
