Exactly. Electoral college and especially winner take all system in 48 states is stupid, but not because dubya and Donald. There no guarantee that HRC would've won the popular vote if it was the game.
Anyway there's no point bitching about it since there's zero chance that it is abolished in a divided political environment like this

We are. But I'm not sure why being a republic constitutes a system that lets a few hundred voters decide fate of a state in an election. In my opinion, America is so connected right now that there is not much difference between values of, say, California and Texas. The divide in values is mostly between rural and urban America, and a system that gives some advantage to smaller states is no longer effective

Because a republic has protections against the tyranny of the majority.

Poll two wolves and a lamb "what's for lunch?", and it's the same outcome every time.

Most scholars would argue that these protections are inherently part of any democracy. At least as we understand it now.

Sure, it's all funny now, but it won't be when Trump has the CIA arrest you and bring you to DC so he can fuck a black Canadian in the ass for no reason whatsoever.

You really don't know his royal freshness Darman if you think he thinks of that scenario as opposite of fun.


He would tell Trump my gf has bigger dick then you and tell him to choke me with your glorious Road kill tupe.

:D

You're probably right.

Btw, it's what I think is going to be Trump's downfall and why I think the predictions of him being impeached will prove accurate: he will abuse his power at some point. If you're as bad tempered as he is, if you are that unable to have any sort of restraint, you will abuse the power people trusted you with.

Quit projecting your homosexual fantasies on me you filthy sexual deviants!


On a side note, I'd like to shake President's Trump hand just to tell him: "You Sir, are an inspiration to us all!"
