    What a load of dung. I bet you even voted for Hillary. The EC worked exactly as intended. America is doing much better than it would had the Hag won. Since you think the country failed, feel free to move to another.

    Indeed.
    Hillary won CA by ~4 million votes.
    She "won" the "popular vote" by ~3 million votes.
    This means she lost the other 50 elections by a net of ~1 million votes.
    Working as intended.

    Because democrats used to support and protect minority viewpoints. The people who live in those wide open spaces are members of a minority group that Democrats currently don't care about, because Democrats only care about sex organs and skin color.

    How shrill they squealed when they lost, "not fair, Hillary won the popular vote!!!" In the unlikely event that the EC was tossed but a Republican won the popular vote, what then? "Not fair, we want a recount until we win."

    Except, that WOULDN'T Happen.

    The GOP would be lucky to ever win the Popular Vote again.

    You might want to tell them to update the website, and the tri-fold pamphlets. Maybe a new tag line: majority rules, baby!

    I have no control over people posting false statements. All I can do is point it out.

    So... Your position is that I can't support the claim that a key plank in the Democrat platform has been support for minority issues?

    PROTECT OUR VALUES Our values of inclusion and tolerance inspire hope around the world and make us safer at home. The world will be more secure, stable, and peaceful when all people are able to reach their God-given potential and live in freedom and dignity. We strive to ensure that the values upon which our country was built, including our belief that all people are created equal, are reflected in everything our nation does. That is why we will promote peacebuilding, protect democracy, and champion human rights defenders. And we will seek to safeguard vulnerable minorities, including LGBT people and people with disabilities.

    Your position is false. I hope in your pointing of pointing out false points, one of those points is you pointing at yourself pointing in a mirror.

    "instead of actual citizens"? Did you seriously just say that when referencing people in any place other than those few counties? Elitist much?

    Actually the President represents the nations Federal Government. Not Americans. Your Rep in the HoR represents you in the government. And the States have equal representation in the Senate.

    I really do wish that people would take a civics class.

    1: Stop listening to Vox and take a civics lesson. The Senate is representative of the States. Not the Country.

    And yet President Trump is doing more for this country that at least the last two Presidents combined. Not that any Trump hater will give him credit for it.

    What part was confusing for you? The current system allows for wide open unpopulated empty space to carry more weight than a citizens vote.

    Unpopulated empty space carries no weight at all.
