    No, our fathers got it right. Remember, they did what what must be done to change centuries of control by family monarchies!

    There was at the time no Encyclopedia at the time explaining how to establish democratic government!

    What they got wrong - because NO COUNTRY at the time ever had established a democracy - was to get the election of the Presidency wrong. As well, the usage of Gerrymandering to manipulate the state-popular vote was also a colossally undemocratic mistake ...

    Nothing you said contradicted the fact that Wyoming votes carries 3 times that of California. That is moronic, unequal and unamerican. 1 voter 1 vote is equal.

    Exaggerated one-liner nonsense.

    When will it ever end? It is a like a cancer to the national mindset that relegates debate into nonsensical one-liner drivel ...

    I’m sorry you feel inequality is justified. You only feel that way because your guy benefited. As soon as republicans lose a few elections but win the popular vote you’ll be advocating the same thing. Even trump agrees the EC needs to go.

    As I stated, you're correct on that. But that doesn't mean the will of the people. It simply means she received more votes than Trump, but more people didn't want her than did.

    I don't think pure democracy is best. It can lead to a tyranny of its own, can't it?

    Why would we? We went to school and understand the Constitution and its laws, for some reason the highly educated left never took a 8th grade course in civics.

    Nope. Wyoming voters votes are 3 times the weight of California voters vote.

    They get 2 votes automatically...for the state.

    And one vote for the people of 600,000.


    Same roughly as California

    Nope. 1 vote in Wyoming is weighted 3 times more than 1 vote in California.

    2 for the state (that's why we have a senate)

    1 for the people

    California has 55 out of a population of 30 million.


    2 for the state


    And do the math 53 for the 30 million = roughly 700,000 people

    Population of Wyoming around 600,000 = 1

    Apparently not. Somehow we got away from the will of the people to now just saying she received the more votes than anyone else. For me, the will of the people resides where most people think or vote. In this case more voted against Hillary than for. More didn't want her than did. Of course the same is true of Trump or any other presidential candidate in 2016. So here is where I leave it.
