You had your chance to vote dems and you didn't
No, that'd be your broken electoral system.This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen.
Too bad. He's my president, my friend's, and yours too. Either join all of us and help us go forward or be selfish and cry in the corner. Get out of your false reality and wake up. You're not going to die because he's president.
You think there is nothing intrinsically wrong with undermining the rule of law and potentially formenting civil war, and setting a precedent for the overthrow of the democratic process in the future?
Can you say you guys are following the "will of the people" when more people voted for hillary but due to bullshit that is not clearly explained to the average citizen, Trump wins?
this would set a bad precedent i think and I as an african american am happy with Trump as president elect
This should be the tag of many on this forum.
some actually might.
Please, don't turn this into a fucking farce.
You see, democracy in the united states is weird.
Im from mexico, a couple of presidents ago the candidate who lost actually requested a "ballot by ballot, poll by poll" recount, and he got it, yes he still lost, but the thing is, the winner was elected by voting majority, literally the candidate with the most votes won.
And it's absolutely bizarre that USA "democracy" doesn't work like that, more people voted for Hillary, but Trump wins because a bizarre "some states and thus votes are worth more then others" and "if a candidate wins a state for 1 vote, all the state worth goes to that candidate" bullshit.

Okay, continue to live in La La land.Not mine. Get bent with this fucking shit.
The public shouldn't trust a system as flawed as the American electoral system. The system has failed Americans again and again, it has now allowed a psychopath to be elected without even winning the lion's share of the popular vote. I'm not saying that having the college electing someone else is a sensible idea, it probably isn't, but the system is fucked and it needs to be changed drastically.
Democracy is only okay when it goes my way.
Okay, continue to live in La La land.
The rest of us will look forward and be focused on fighting real battles.
I don't agree with the electoral college system at all. I also believe we should have something different. However, we've had this system for more then 200 years now. We're not going to throw it out the window just because Trump takes office.
We can all support a better system, but not for this election.

Yeah, it's broken when your candidate loses.
I don't think you can assume a .3% difference in the popular vote holds up if the Electoral College doesn't exist in the first place. It suppresses voting in states that are not viewed as battlegrounds, "He/She's going to win my state anyway", etc. Maybe any change favors Hillary, no idea... but in such a close race it could certainly have made a difference.
Exactly. When Brexit happened, our English friends tried to warn us, but a lot of people here dismissed it and said that we'd never have Trump due to the EC. Oh the irony.Yeah, it's broken when your candidate loses.
Democracy did go the right way. It's just that America isn't a democracy. It sucks.
It was distinctly never designed to be one. That's not a flaw in the system, it's intentional design.With the majority of the votes. Your system ignores the actual will of the people. It isn't democracy.
I'm all for scrapping the electoral college. But don't in the middle of the election and the electoral vote....when the EC count and the popular vote don't match up. That's just asking for riots/civil war.

If you've bowed down to Trump you've already lost and are a pawn to fucking Breitbart. You're not fighting shit.

And a KKK led government is totally cool and not asking for civil war, right?
Maybe, but it's the system we agreed to. That's what makes it so damning. Regardless of anything else, this is the ruleset we as a people agreed to follow.
I'd willing to throw out those rules to prevent a Trump presidency, but I acknowledge it would be illegitimate as fuck.

Really, man? No need to take that tone.
Arguing with folks on NeoGAF and talking big talk about how he's not your president is, also, "not fighting shit."
