[QUOTE=Duck M.;51407532]and if reddit being so fucking shitty by inherent design wasnt a big enough problem then you have stuff like this in the rule sets of the most popular political subreddit on the entire website that has frontpage presence literally 24/7 (ill let you figure it out which one it is) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/BgjR0nZ.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I give up, which subreddit is that from? I tried sifting through some.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;51408128]Hillary won the popular vote by a greater margin than Kennedy did so I don't think it's a problem of message, just poor strategy.[/QUOTE] What's the difference? If you can rack up tons of votes in irrelevant states then the message is wrong. Unless the Democrats just want to be a useless party that accomplishes nothing and just panders to an insignificant demographic.

They just need to get the message out better, to key areas.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;51408224]If she won the popular vote I don't think it's a insignificant demographic.

And you think that they would have voted Clinton if only they had heard her "message" better?

They might have, it's at moot point now.

[QUOTE=Turnips5;51408269]okay what the fuck is an "irrelevant state" are you talking about california, the most populous state in the entire US?[/QUOTE] Getting tons of votes in Cali and NY is irrelevant in our current system. Whether or not you think our system should change is irrelevant to the point he was making.
[QUOTE=Pantz Master;51408581]Getting tons of votes in Cali and NY is irrelevant in our current system. Whether or not you think our system should change is irrelevant to the point he was making.[/QUOTE] Over 3 million votes in California were for Trump. Even more for Clinton in Texas. That's four times the total population of the entire state of Wyoming. 175,000 people in Wyoming voted for Trump versus 3 million in California, and yet Trump gets zero electoral votes from California and 3 from Wyoming. It's totally irrelevant in our current system if you're a republican in Cali. Just a dumb system. Needs proportional vote.

[QUOTE=King Tiger;51407189]He's going to be abandoned by a huge number of progressive SJWs for this. He'll probably lose much of the political capital that he had if this becomes big news. The Democratic Party is a nightmare shitshow right now. No message, no leaders, no platform, no government control. Practically no party at all.[/QUOTE] I'm hype for Republican monopoly on power :dance:
