Amazing that this old relic of undemocratic nonsense is still alive in the U.S voting system.

I'm not sure it's anger. I think it's disappointment.
sounded more like resignation to me
Voting systems for all countries are fucking retarded and undemocratic.
Its like its designed to be unfair and bullshit.
First past the post and this shit.
From what I've seen so far, Trump doesn't even have the popular vote.

Yeah sorry, I probably didn't need to say it again but yeah. Kinda sucks.
The good news is that there's no Ralph Nader to act as the scapegoat this time. There's Johnson, but it's questionable what kind of voter demographics he got. Hopefully with fewer cries of "[third party candidate] RUINED EVERYTHING!" the electoral college will get the kind of attention it deserves.

I thought it was designed to be fair? So that smaller minorities don't ALWAYS lose because they are the minority?
The electoral college was designed to stop what the original creators feared would be unknowing Americans voting for someone who'd be terrible for the country.

Some are more retarded than others. And I think the US's takes the cake in that regard.
We don't need the Electoral College because the Electoral College has become the VERY thing it was created to fucking prevent in the first place

Its not fair when those smaller minorities hold more power than the larger majorities, they should be equal not more powerful.
