>THAT GET

He lost the popular by 3 million votes, so if it were a true democracy not still keeping outdated relics that don't even do what they're supposed to do (stop idiot-chosen demagogues) he would have lost.

Trump is a Russian tool. Clinton was shit. But like it or not, the next 4 years probably won't be that bad.

>>719660000

most of the bitching is coming from the left who would of threw tantrums and complained regardless

95 percent of the people who protested trump are paid by george soros and could of given a fuck less about the election results

Go back to highschool and learn about why the EC is important.

>>719662021
It's not about voting. If that's all it was then Clinton would have won. She had around 2 million more votes than Trump. That's not democracy

people keep bitching about clinton and the popular vote,but there's a reason why we dont elect presidents based off in some leftist shit piles like california and new york city think a candidate is popular or not

>>719662175
if it's such a tie, then it doesn't matter which one is the winner. they're both equal.

if usa only used the popular vote then California and new york would forever decide who becomes president.
specially California with them using illigals and carting them from vote ballot to vote ballot.

this is the reason that america uses the ec to decide a president, that way the intire country decides and not just California and new york

libtards are just butthurt

it isn't out of disrespect to democracy that people bitch about trump, it's because our democracy specifically respects bitching about trump

Britbong here. If you've ever visited America you'd know it's huge. And inevitably the political climate varies. The EC is designed to give fair representation of political climates rather than number of people, because political climate is what decides a favoured candidate. Trump vs Clinton is actually a perfect example: people living in luxury in California don't care for new infrastructure that Trump has promised, while the men in the poor southern states struggling to find work, even physical labour, want that more than anything else. They want to give Trump his chance to Make America Great Again because that's what he's promised them.

Fuck what that other guy said.

Simply put, it allows less people to have a greater influence in the election.

Hence why most people voted against trump, yet he won the 'electoral college'which is the actual decider.


Also, I really can't wait for him to cut welfare and starve the white republicans who freeload off blue state tax money.

>>719660000
You understand that respecting democracy isn't the same thing as respecting the man elected by it, right? The two ideas are mutually exclusive.

Protests are just people expressing their opinions, happens all the time. Especially in America where people are too defeatist to do much else.

I'm guessing this is transference.

citations for any of that??

It's an American tradition to bitch about the president. What the hell are you talking about?

Wait, If the ec was implemented to help smaller areas have more say, then why is there a sliding scale based on population to determine the number of electorates?

I mean, california, new york, and Texas have about a fourth of the say still.

I could've sworn the electoral college was implemented because our founding fathers thought common people were too stupid to vote for themselves.

>>719660000
By people protesting and shit they are proving democracy to being working.
If there was a vote and people protested and the protests were shut down, then that is not a democracy.

The beauty of a true democracy is that the power is in the people. Now, is the political side of the US laws a true democracy? No, it's not, it's more of a republic where the rich have more sway in government than the poor and the average worker. In a true democracy Trump would have not won, he would have lost.

>I could've sworn the electoral college was implemented because our founding fathers thought common people were too stupid to vote for themselves.
this is an oversimplification. the founders didn't anticipate the age of coherent unified parties that we have now. They expected it would be typical for each state or region to vote for a favourite son candiate and thus nobody would have a majority, leaving the electoral college to pick the best of them.

Какой забавный селянин.

Donald Trump seems to me to just be a bit of a shit cunt. The nicest he's been in life was to Kevin McCallister- and that was all scripted. He's a dud guy to be president. You would have thought America would be ae to produce someone a bit more cool and chill and that.

>>719667381
If the people were evenly distributed, tens of millions of Americans would be living in and have been raised in starkly different conditions and thus have very different political views, so I don't see what the point is in your hypothetical. Also, if the popular vote were all that mattered, both candidates would likely have campaigned differently, so again pointless to bring it up.

do you guys think julius caesar was a populist/asshat like donald dumb?

>>719662314
yeah, it weakens the voice of the only parts of America that matter to the world and gives too much influence to backwards-assed ignorant rednecks. No wonder America has fallen behind in so many categories.

>>719667855
america died the moment people realized there is no gold/richness to be had in america

>>719660000
the best thing about trump being president is that its probably the best example there will ever be in playing the long game in espionage. forget the whining about lies and fakery pretty much every intelligence agency is in agreement that trumps rise to president is largely a result of russian interference. All those missiles, subs, tanks, etc and the US has been brought into line with the great bear by some very impressive work by the Russians. The funny thing is they've used the same tactics that failed in Russia to bend the US over and basically get it tied up in domestic introspective bullshit about muslims and immigration. A lot of people will be watching Trump closely during his first term but id be watching the Russians myself. in 5 years time the world is going to look very different

>>719664506
Except that because of the electoral college, the minority votes in a state, even if just shy of 50% don't matter at all. Basically, the vote is a complete illusion because of the EC. May as well tally up number of Republicans vs Democrats in a state and have individuals who weren't even elected by the people just decide the vote of their state.

too bad the only thing trump can do is:
1) go against congress decisions
2) start a nucular war

>>719668873
If Russia will pay for Ukraine, It's a good deal.

>>719669391
pay who?

>>719669207
Ukraine is just a commodity now.

>>719669230
The electoral College prevents mob rule. It gives every state a say. If there was a simple populat vote, NY City, Los Angeles, and Chicago would decide the presidency and no one else would have a voice.

>>719669290
Don't forget Pence! That evil MONSTER now has the power to... to... I can barely breath... to CAST A TIE-BREAKING VOTE IN THE SENATE!!!

>>719664506
Historically, the EC had favored Republicans. It's controversial because you are handicapping the vote of individuals in high density areas for a few farmers in less populated states. Furthermore, the US has never had a popular vote for the Presidential election, so there is no way to know for sure what the actual impact would be on the minority who voted Republican. We know why it was created, but trusting solely on the OPINIONS of our founding fathers is not necessarily the best way forward.

>>719669290
Congress wants to start a nuclear war?

>>719669466
Russia will pay America.

>>719669290
Only Congress has the power to authorize war.

>>719669505
The states shouldn't decide. The PEOPLE should. Where you live is irrelevant. And your solution is to take the power away from high population centers and give it all to, again, a select few states? Ohio, Florida, etc.

We've tried the EC for a couple of centuries and it's time to do something different. Also, what about in the future? Could you see the US ever getting to the point where nearly the entire country is end to end urban sprawl? What then?

Although I'm all for cutting welfare. That's a nice doesn't mean shit graph. As of July 8, 2014, the demographic breakdown of welfare recipients was 38.8 percent Caucasian, 39.8 percent African American, 15.7 percent Hispanic, 2.5 percent Asian and 3.3 percent Other. There are 12.8 million Americans on welfare, which is equivalent to 4.1 percent of the U.S. population.

1. Nice quads there m8
2. I don't respect American democracy. It just doesn't work. Trump was just an example of that. America needs to take lessons from Europe and Japan and Canada.

>>719669910
Aaand, THIS is why we have the electoral college. So people who discriminate against others who look different, have different jobs or beliefs, cannot dictate a presidency. We're a nation of about 320 million people. A few cities will never have the power to chose for everyone else. You should probably work on your bigotry.

>>719669689
We'll each state could decide IF the votes of everyone fucking counted. I may as well not even gone to the polls this year because my vote didn't even count. Thanks farmers!

>>719663805
This isn't it at all. One of the Founders, Alexander Hamilton, explains the purpose of the electoral college in The Federalist Papers #68. The reason it exists is that the Founders did not trust the people to directly elect a person who is "fit" to be President. As Hamilton explains, it's a measure to prevent foreign influence and prevent the people from falling for irrelevant populist bullshit. It has absolutely nothing to do with giving certain groups of voters more voting power.

>>719660000
Bingo! We have a winner. Democracy is a failed experiment that has become a sick joke. The best thing about Trump being elected is that it will go a long way toward exposing and destroying democracy. When you let uneducated potatoes aka the masses elect officials you get the likes of Hillary and trump.

>>719660868
Why do you idiots forget that we live in a democratic Republic. Fucking kids

>>719662726

The paraphrased version is that electors are actually the people who cast the vote for POTUS.

The people actually vote for the electors who then vote for the candidate they pledged to vote for. Basically making it look like

>Majority of people in Florida cast vote for candidate X
>Electors that have pledged to vote for candidate X beforehand and have been selected to represent their party in the electoral college are then the ones that are actually allowed to cast votes, generally giving that candidate Y amount of electoral votes (270 are needed to secure the presidency)

The electors that weren't picked by the party that inevitably won the state, just don't get to vote.

Granted, a lot of people like to bring up that electors don't need to vote based on what they pledged to vote for (also known as a faithless elector, Hillary Clinton had more of these than any other candidate in like a hundred years.) but generally speaking, electors vote based on who they pledged to vote for, because failing to do so generally puts them in hot water with their party, so it's not an issue, and as far as I know, election has ever been decided solely based on the votes faithless electors (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Also, many states have laws in place where faithless electors can be fined considerably for going against their pledged candidate.

Finally we come to the WHY of it all. As someone else said, it basically prevents the people in California and New York (both massively populous and pretty much entirely Democrat states that by themselves make a third of the entire Democratic vote) from basically deciding who is going to direct the country for the next 4 years, even though most of the country is vastly culturally different from those places.

I realize that was a bit long but that's as close to a tl;dr version as I could get without glazing over some of the more important bits.

>>719670833
i recommend using your brain and thing about what i said.

it's quite simple actually. but it's also a hurtful truth.

US= Republic
US =/= Democracy

We really need to understand the difference and stop calling ourselves democratic

>>719670936
'thing' about what you said? That aside, i dont have time to waste thinging about fantasy worlds where politics dont exist.

>>719664818
You are making stuff up. There is only democracy, not "non direct democracy" and something else. Democracy refers to the will of the majority. What we have in the US is simply an electoral college system which by its very nature means we do not have democracy

>>719670444
I know what the EC is and why it was created. You also fail to mention how the founding fathers didn't trust the people back then to decide the vote. Some people didn't even know who Lincoln was when he was elected. Times have changed, and Conservatism has no place in modern and future society.

>>719665271

>>719660000
QUADS CONFIRMS TRUTH

>>719660000
The people elected Hillary.
The electoral college elected Trump in spite of the people.
That's fine, but call it what it is. The lesser popular, of the least two popular candidates to ever run for office in this country, appointed to absolute power, because the retarded DNC put an unelectable cunt out there as if she were the only option. Surprise surprise, dumbfucks, jokes on you.

a country that celebrates ignorance and aggression, gets an ignorant aggressive idiot for a president.

>>719671032
a typo/translation mistake is not something you can strenghen your non existing argument with.

>think

>>719670715
Because, as stated, we're a federal republic. We're 50 States with a limited representative government. So, in the Electoral College system, the majority of the STATES decide. You might want to read the Bill of Rights...specifically the 10th Amendment:

>The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Serious question- Did they stop teaching all this?

>>719670738
Worse, the vote of anti-intellectuals in rural areas actually counts for MORE due to an unintended side effect of the electoral college. The Founders clearly never meant for a vote in Wyoming to count the same as 4 votes in New York, but today it does.

>>719670903


...The United States has never been a democracy though.

Why do people circlejerk about the fall of democracy or whatever like the United States suddenly became a Democratic Republic with an electoral college and all of that?

It's been like this for what, 250 years?

He was elected by a republic loosely based on the concept of democracy. He was in no way democratically elected.

We could easily go back to a segregated society if we wanted to. People do change, otherwise we wouldn't have had the repeal of slavery, prohibition and subsequent repeal, civil rights movement, and gay marriage being legal in all 50 states.

The problem you are having is you havent defined politics. Maybe you mean political parties, I dont know. But the definition of politics itself is "the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power." The word politics derives from the Greek "affairs of the citystate".
If you have a government, and anywhere you have people you have a government (named or not), you have politics.

>>719671286
We haven't seen in practice, but unless the man is a serial liar (which there is strong evidence for) he's going to disregard everything that the majority of the country wants and only represent those with conservative views.

>>719660868
You're right about the 4 years not being that bad. We watched the inauguration at work (perks of a small office) and some bitch ran out crying.

>>719671186
People have the idea we're a democracy because we just spent half a century and trillions of dollars traipsing around the world blowing peoples heads off under the banner of "spreading democracy", when in fact what we have is a federal republic, completely insulating the country from democracy.

It's handy lip-service paid to rule by the people, while functioning as an aristocracy. ...which, funny enough, is exactly what the culture that invented democracy replaced it with immediately after inventing it, though, in their case, it was to insulate them from the input of the Idios, or "private people" not up to speed and engaged in the culture. If you wanted to be an ignorant farmer, that was fine, but you don't get to weigh in on what Athens should do.

We've taken the opposite tack, giving isolated farmers more of a vote than those most actively engaged in determining the direction of the nation.

Made sense in the 1700s, when this was an agrarian burg of educated landowners and ignorant drunks and outlaws, but hasn't held up well with the massive reversals in US cultures.

An idea can be as grand and noble as it wants, but if the majority of the people don't find it's working for them, it's only a matter of time before they replace it.

>>719671922

Because both sides knew it was a race to 270. Both sides had agreed that the EC would determine who would be president. Yet as soon as Hillary lost popular vote becomes the biggest thing ever, and the EC was unfair.

No there isnt. But thats a detail of a particular government system. To put it another way- is it a good idea to make all laws that can never be changed under any circumstance? Well if not, you need politics. Hell, you need politics just to decide on the laws in the first place.

>>719662726
The states and the federal government are closer to European countries and the eu than provinces are to most countries.
That and the ec makes it so politicians don't just cater to the top 5 cities and abandon everyone else. Take new Zealand for example, the main cities do well while the other cities are shitholes.

>>719672251
>Maybe you should practice empathy. It can open you up to an entire new world of pussy.

In my experience, the opposite is true.

He wasn't democratically elected. He was elected by a system that gives people in certain rural areas 4 times the voting power of people in urban areas. He lost the popular (democratic) vote by a lot. He only became President because he won the weighted (electoral college) vote. Unfortunately for him, approval ratings are not weighted. That's why you're seeing massive protests and low turnout in the audience at his inauguration.

Nice quads, though.

I don't have to imagine it. I've seen it. Sociologists are studying the LHC specifically because nearly all of it is not structured whatsoever, and functions best in an ad-hoc anarchistic chaos. It seems to run against the grain of everything we know about the primitive human social mind, but, over many previous organizations requiring that much cooperation, they found this lack of traditional human hierarchical structure greater enables the free flow of information, increasing the rate and quality of discoveries and solutions to problems. This is also how certain space stations have functioned, and occasional antarctic research stations have functioned from time to time, between periods of asshole governments stepping in, exerting their influence and fucking everything up.

Too bad society isn't full of individuals as intelligent and committed to cooperation and pure research as, the most intelligent people on earth...

>>719673012
btw, if the system allows illegals to vote, it's still a shit system

So, obviously the implication that no one was upset about Obama, and no one would be upset if it were Hillary, isn't even worth dismissing.

But how else are people supposed to form political collectivities and become conscious of the political situation, so that when election day comes around they're actually able to act meaningfully?
