2024 POTUS Thread...

[UncleMilti]

You are missing my point completely, in that the Republican Party has not been enacting or drafting policies that the majority of the population say works for them, and you turn it around to be some sort of attack on your choice of candidate. It's not.

The Electoral College has defied the popular vote only 4 times in history. If it had happened much more often then you would have a point.

I'll say one thing though, I believe if there was no Obama in 2008 there wouldn't have been a Donald Trump in 2016. It was the equivalent of the Republicans saying to the Democrats, "Oh yeah, well hold my beer".

The popular vote was wisely discounted from our forefathers for a very good reason.


There are 3,141 counties in the United State

In the 16 election Trump won 3,084 of them.

Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.

Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties, Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

Which is exactly why the popular vote means nothing.

Exactly right.

Yep. Pure Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

It also proves that vacant land doesn’t have votes. But, that doesn’t mean that the Electoral College should be eliminated. We don’t need tyranny of the majority, which is what would happen.

Eh. Not the same ring to it.

There’s a lot of the libtards who would love to ditch the EC so that the blue cities would determine every Presidential election.

Trump just hit my Evan nerve.

Trump just hit my Evan nerve.

"We'll have it fixed so good again you won't have to vote."

Again these fucking liars try to twist his words to make him look like a dictator.

He's clearly saying here that he plans on doing such a good job they won't have to vote in the next election because the country will be that prosperous.

Not that there won't be elections anymore.

Fucking liars. I'm fucking tired of it.

Yep, that's where he shouldn't get caught up in the moment and say stuff like that, but we know he's not going to change.

Still doesn't alter the fact that they know elections aren't going to end. That's not even possible. They'll just tell any lie to retain power.

Kamala is like on every YouTube vid begging for money. Trump World better go on the offensive because teams that play pree-vent defense tend to lose.

YouTube, IG, TikTok. She’s working all of the social media platforms that young voters use. And, she’s reportedly already raised over $200M since Biden dropped out. That’s a shit ton of money.

Shit….I don’t believe a word of anything they say. A lot of people are reporting that Biden/DNC had 90-140 million in reserves donors were holding until he stepped down and the 200 million Harris’s campaign is touting includes Biden’s money.
Don’t know if it’s true or not, but personally I can’t see her raising that kind of money from small individual donors.

My point was that out of 54 Presidential elections, the electoral college and the popular vote have been in sync with the exception of 4 times. That's over 90% of the time.

Note calling for elimination of the EC, just stating how rare it is for it to not be in agreeance with the popular vote.
