    You mean America is a representative republic at the federal level using democratic principles.

    If I show you those documents will you pretend they are not real?
    If you don't show them, they aren't real.

    lets work on the facts


    they mean something


    when I give you the fully documented facts will you accept them?

    When are you going to actually provide something you say you have instead of only saying you have them?

    Why can't black people get an ID? White people are capable of getting one. What does that tell you.

    I'm not really either for or against, though I always though the electoral was a little weird. It started as a concession to get the slave states on board w/ revolution...the reasoning wasn't some sound sort of effort for "fairness" to places that didn't even really exist yet.

    I think it has to look strange to the world that someone can get 3 million more votes & lose.

    The losing team in a football game might have more total yards of offense, more sacks on defense, more first down, more interceptions, etc. Unless they have the highest score, those stats mean nothing.

    Continuing to bring up something that doesn't play a role in the process proves you don't understand the system nor know why it was put in place over 200 years ago.
    How do I not understand the system? I have never said that the electoral doesn't decide the winner.

    But, Hillary did win the popular by 3 million + votes.

    Those that claim it's weird are the ones that don't understand it nor know the truth behind why it was put in place.

    Any idiot that keeps bringing up the 3 million vote part proves that.

    Because you keep bringing up something that is irrelevant. If you understood how it worked and why it was put in place, you wouldn't keep mentioning something that has no bearing on the end result.

    The reason so many people of color dislike Republicans is because Republicans expect them to do for themselves while Democrats are willing to hand them something for nothing while blaming whitey for them not having it.

    People talk about margins of victory all of the time - whether they're pluralities or majorities, how they affect a mandate. Are you relatively new to politics and political analysis?

    And you can bet the house that Trump would have a record # of tweets on it if it was a reverse situation, and you'd be right in line behind him.

    But, it's also just fun to bring up: Hillary won the popular by 3 million+ votes. 2%. That's pretty significant.
