    I've actually heard righties say "if you take away NY, CA and the coasts..." People are people. "If you take away CA" is an incredibly lame point, because they're Americans, they vote, and barring a major earthquake, no one is taking CA away.
    Yes thing... just as it is fucking LAME to run around screaming that Hillary had more votes. IT DOESN"T FUCKING MATTER UNDER OUR SYSTEM.

    Oh, lol, I remember this stupid argument now...

    and again... if you want that debate, then pointing out the fact that one state made such a huge difference proves why the electoral college is in place to begin with. You cannot cry about the popular vote and then not break it down into more detailed analysis.

    Do tell, why is it 'stupid'??? You are suggesting that it is somehow inaccurate? Or you just don't like it?

    It's not really an "analysis." What you're essentially saying is that people in CA matter less. Their votes shouldn't count as full votes.

    Let me guess, you simply are feeling stupid because the math was too hard for you? Or do you think you can simply alter the definition of words to fit whatever narrative you wish to tell?

    No, we have not. But I certainly understand your desire not to be proven wrong again. It is simple math. So don't question something so simple if you don't wish to discuss it.
