You didn't watch the presidential debate last night

The main reason that politicians want the EC is because its a very dependable system. The problem this time was all the little snokflakes running around gathering polls that supported their agenda to hypehypehype Hillary into a win. It wasn't the EC that let the Dems down. It was miscalculation and arrogance.

A candidate is only one person, being able to put time and money into areas and get direct results is something they like. Dems right now are whining about the EC, but whichever Dem is running next, is laying out his/her plan based on the EC map. If it was a pure popular vote, things would happen much differently. There'd be way more ground to cover because they wouldn't be able to necessarily ignore their deep red/blue states. It would be much more costly even cost prohibitive to buy the same results as they can right now with the EC. So my thoughts are, just like every time people whine about the EC, the politicians will get behind whatever side their constituents are on, to make a showing, then nothing will come of it. Neither side wants the uncertainty that would come with doing away with the EC.

Already you can see the Dems shifting gears away from the focus of EC by getting the Jill whoever person to raise money for recounts. Lets not pretend that this random shitter politician had the connections to pull off that kind of move without the Dems blessing and help.

 

If Trump had won the popular vote and Hillary had dominated the Electoral College, even a whisper of discontent by righties would be blasted 24/7 by MSM as "sexist" and "racist" and "unamerican" and "dangerous" and proof positive that populism is a cancer of the mind and heart. That, or even more hyperbolic. We shall never 100% know, but that is my best guess based on decades of prior behavior.

 

I kinda like Stein, but it does seem fishy to me that she raised more for this recount than she did for her entire presidential run, and in much less time.

I'd say it was Hillary supporters donating to it, but if I'm remembering correctly, Hillary did poorly with small donors, so, that seems unlikely to me. It makes me wonder who is bankrolling this, and why.

 

I do recall Stein previously said that she'd sleep slightly better with Trump (though not much) than Clinton (on account of her concern about war with Russia being pushed by Clinton from her perspective). So it does seem odd overall.

But who knows.

 

apparently a big rise in absentee votes in relation to previous years on systems that are deemed outdated makes her suspicious hackers did stuff.

tell me what is required to donate:

because depending on what is required there is an entire planet out there who could be contributing.

thanks for sharing DJ.

 

Well, sure, but that seems unlikely to me. It may very well be the case that it's a bunch of small donations from all around the world, but I hadn't even heard of it until it had nearly reached its goal. It just doesn't seem like a true grassroots movement, it feels more (to me) that some rich party is funding this, which makes the whole thing seem fishy to me.

 

yeah the timeframe she seems to have raised the money in is suspiciously small, but there are evidently a host of options when it comes to messing with the election or with booting trump, so i guess it's not terribly surprising.


as for jill slamming hillary, she sort of needed to- anyone voting because they wanted to avoid trump would naturally go to hillary, since none of the other options had a chance in the national. to get more votes, stein had to portray the candidate most of her supporters would back in a purely 2party system as a larger negative than one those same supporters have little use for.

 

when those 54% only live in a couple of states, the yes. When states are not adequately represented by the union, they leave the union.

 

I don't doubt there might be weird Bane Shift going on, I just want to watch where this goes.

 

...they do?

 

ask britain

 

the island?

 

This is exactly where I am

 

It's getting cramped here.

 

She raised more money in 10 hours with no press conference than she did over 3 years for her campaign. Completely believable.

Sweet justice will be that all that money will be gobbled up by lawyers and eventually lead to nothing.

 

i've been wondering- if there was a recount and it somehow turned out that the election had been rigged for trump, would the slightly less than half of the country that voted trump accept that?

or to be specific, would the people here accept that?

 

Wow hilarious. Trump wins and suddenly all declare he must have cheated as riots erupt in the streets. I doubt that this kind of enthusiasm to recount hillary's votes would have occured if she won. The MSM and a large portion of this country lost the election for Hillary. That damn electoral college. Well Hillary should of won lets recount.
