It blows my mind how many people don't understand how our system works. Failure of education. The people that say it should be a popular vote would be the first to bitch when the majority went against what they want. In a true democracy, Slavery, 51% for=legal. Sex with minors 52% for =legal. Theft 50.5% for =legal. Discriminatory policies towards Caucasians 80% for=legal. .. see how that works?

Is all good until you're the sheep. ...

So fucking what if the rural voters don't count. The MAJORITY of voters, spread all over this country, should be the ones that count, not just some cow farmers in North Dakota. This is the 2nd time in my lifetime that some cunt, GW Bush being the 1st (that worked out well) whom that the majority of voters didn't vote for was elected POTUS. It should be done away with. Let the majority rule, not just Florida.

Just a bunch of cow farmers? PLEASE!!!!! do not support us any more.... you must be a vegan.
I would bet my farm / ranch pays more taxes and employs more people than you do, feed more people than you, and work more hours.
If you are not happy with the results..... MOVE!!!!!!!!!

I'm not happy with the results, but why would I move ? I'm going to stick around and make a change in 2 years then 4.
I think it will be somewhat enjoyable when Trump fails his voters. What is it do you expect from Trump? Lets get this down in writing.

This shit has me absolutely confused. ..so the person with the most votes doesn't win...why even call it a presidential election? In Canada when we have elections our votes actually count and we decide who wins...not some silly numbers game that doesn't reflect the actual winner...ya places with larger populations will get more votes Because they have more people! !! Why should areas with less population have just as many "seats" as places with double or triple the population? It's basically saying most votes don't really count....anyhoo I'm the first to admit I don't know shit about politics. ..especially American but I can't help but feel sorry for American people, picking between 2 horrible people must truly suck....and not having the person that the people voted in must suck even more....

I guess your life sucked these last 8 years. That's too bad, I guess you didn't get enough farm subsidies.
Less deficits?
More jobs?
Better diplomacy?
Less involvement in other countries affairs?
His tax plan will lead to a massive increase in the national deficit, that is according to ALL the major economists in this country.
He will never get the jobs back lost to automation, period.
He already stated he wants boots on the ground in Iraq and intends to isolate Iran again
Better diplomacy? Maybe with Putin, no one else.
He's a walking, talking disaster whose stated policies have already sent shivers throughout the free world, and in 4 years this country will be wishing that Obama was still in office, because in 4 years the ones that are going to be hit the hardest are the same people he conned into believing he is on their side. He's an egomaniac that only cares about himself. Always did and always will.

6,943,276...that is how many people in Canada voted for Liberals in 2015.
39.47% of the total vote.
That equates to 54% of the seats in Parliament, though. Are you sure your vote really counted the way you think? My vote only counted as far as my MP went.
So did yours.

I'm happy with what we have. A man at the helm to right the ship sailing in the stormy seas of the world, not some wicked witch to sink us then sail off in her own ship full of money that payed her for the sinking of our ship. The rotten bitch.
