    Remember that time that Hilary didn’t get as many votes as Trump in 2016?

    Popular vote

    Trump: 62,984,828

    Hilary: 65,853,514

    oh wait.

    • Liberals unironically believe this though. They’re literally rewriting history! I love/hate reminding them that, no dipshit, Trump winning wasn’t a matter of not enough people voting, it was a matter of how deeply ineffectual and anti-democratic the institutions you uphold actually are.

        It’s just the wrong people who didn’t vote, it is important to weigh votes towards white people suburban and rural votes and not let black people densely populated urban populations steer the country!

        I honestly don’t know how anyone can defend a system where the combined states of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Idaho has less population than 3 out of 5 boroughs of New York City yet are represented by 10 senators, fully 1/10th of the highest legislative body of the country.

        All the more reason to vote harder than ever before so dems get in office because the republicans for sure won’t change anything about the current electoral system!!
