Oops, so I did. Lemme try again: > [@Fear Itself](#): > > In an electoral college system, likeability no longer has much to do with who gets elected. Of course it does! Why do you think the pluralities that create the EC vote happen? ---

Since the whiners won’t STFU, please allow me to attempt to re-explain. I don’t think SA mangled anything. The WHO (voters) HRC needed did not turn out WHERE the presumptive queen bitch needed them. Because she (or “it”) was not WHAT the EC wants for a POTUS. WHEN enough voters across the whole goddamned country stop wondering WHY the democratic party seems like a big-city-only club, maybe they will get the votes they need to install someone similar. Just not Billary. Never, ever Billary. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > Yet she got a larger voter turnout than Donald Trump. In an electoral college system, likeability no longer has much to do with who gets elected. Same as in many parliamentary systems. Does that make it wrong? > **[Parliamentary system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_system)** > > A parliamentary system, or parliamentary democracy, is a form of government where the head of government (chief executive) derives their democratic legitimacy from their ability to command the support ("confidence") of a majority of the legislature, to which they are held accountable. This head of government is usually, but not always, distinct from a ceremonial head of state. This is in contrast to a presidential system, which features a president who is not fully accountable to the legislatur... None of the recent candidates for POTUS ran a national popular vote campaign. They all understood that they needed to win individual state primaries, and then gain 270+ votes in the EC. Being overwhelming popular in California could get you a 2nd place finish on Dancing with the Stars. ---

> [@doorhinge](#): > > Same as in many parliamentary systems. Does that make it wrong? Never said it did. I said it has nothing to do with likeability. And I was right. Hillary got more votes than Donald. If likeability counted, she would be the president elect. It doesn’t, so she isn’t. Not a matter of right or wrong. ---

I referred to Trump as “Cheetolini” and irritated a couple of people on FB. That’s what I got for ya, OP. ---

I hope Donnie sees it. He’ll turn even redder. > [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > Says the cretin who whose lips move when he reads the last post in the thread and pretends he knows what the grown ups are talking about. That is completely false. His lips do not move…he has to have someone read the posts to him, and then type out his incoherent replies. He’s still a few decades away from reading and writing on his own. ---
