**** Elections thread *****

[Jack Sawyer]

The votes were counted. They all went toward the electoral vote counts for NY and California. Cali has 55 votes and NY has 29. That means that 15% of the total electoral votes are cast by 4% of the states.

a state != population

I wonder, why are you talking about states? I thought you were talking about voters? Last I checked, a state can't vote. OR CAN IT?

Yes it does. Populations of people are organized into municipal units called states. Stop being a dick.

Because that's how electoral votes are differentiated.

Again you're being totally phony just to make yourself look smart. You should realize that you actually look quite dumb when look to alien conspiracies simply because your brain can't comprehend the concept of a two-tiered election process.

And you are apparently too dense to realize that the electoral college is a completely stupid system which is demonstrably easily manipulated.
Or that a two-tiered system is even more stupid than that. Assuming that your populace is too stupid to have more than two choices? Damn, that's harsh.

But it's ok, agree to disagree and move on.

...and since banana lives in NH, his vote is worth 161% relative to someone who lives in NY at 88%.

I think we're starting to understand a lot about why America is ruled by an orange tard now.

It was fine until democrats lost.

which is demonstrably easily manipulated.

Is this the gerrymandering rant again??

Or that a two-tiered system is even more stupid than that.

Why? It works just fine for passing laws.

Assuming that your populace is too stupid to have more than two choices? Damn, that's harsh.

Gary Johnson, Ralph Nader, Ross Perot. We can handle more than two choices. It's just that the first two are usually so shitty that any third place runner could only be a joke.

But it's ok, agree to disagree and move on.

To what? The Trump stuff seems to be dying down as more and more people realize that he's not a right-wing loon and that he's probably the most centrist president we've had in my lifetime.
