She didn't win the popular vote anyway.

3 million illegal alien votes. Typical.

This hurt my head.  Literally every news source (except the alt right toilets) say otherwise.

What's got me here, is you don't normally go down the tinfoil hat way

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the shitlord scripture the Bhagavad Reeeeeeeta; Kek is trying to persuade the prince that he should save his people, and to impress him takes on his frog-headed form, and says, "Now I am become meme, the destroyer of cucks." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
People forget that both candidates built their campaign around securing elecotral college votes, that's why the buzzword of the pundits was "path to victory", as in "what is each candidate's plan for securing enogh EC votes from likely states". If you switched to a popular vote, then suddenly all the votes of republicans in traditionally blue states now matter, and are worth campaigning for. Given that even under the EC, Clinton's popular vote was a very slim victory, there's a good chance Trump still would have won if he ran a popular vote campaign.

Of course, Obama openly encouraged illegals to vote. And while we can't yet be sure of even what makes a good estimate on how many illegals that could vote, did so. We can be sure that it isn't Russians boating across the bearing sea to vote for Trump or weedman in Alaska.

some quick and dirty reading if you're interested

basically there's been a movement by a handful of states for a while to try to work around the EC

Isn't the whole point to prevent sprawling cities like New York and LA from swinging every election in their favour?

Seems pretty reasonable IMO.
Yeah, now we have fuckhead rural counties swinging the elections in their favor. Brilliant.
You already have the house decided by popular vote, and most importantly outside f elections, the big cities get the most taxes, infrastructure, businesses, investment. You get literally everything you could want every other time of the year, yet you still want more power.

Obama openly encouraged illegals to vote

Did you actually watch that? He says that legal citizens who have undocumented family don't need to worry about ICE coming for them if they vote.

Explain, what about it is broke?
The fact that a republican vote in California means nothing, and a democratic vote in Texas means nothing.

The fact that not all votes count as much as each other.
And your solution is to make ALL rural votes mean nothing? cool.

"undocumented" that's newspeak for "illegal alien". Their problem isn't that they lack documentation as the term "undocumented" implies, but that they broke the law and flagrantly disregarded America's sovereignty and right to bar entry.

Not watching the video right now, bit please clarify your pronouns. Are you telling me that he said that citizens don't have to worry about their illegal family members being deported if the family members vote or if the legal citizen votes?

Legal citizens don't have to worry about their illegal family members being deported if they vote. As in the act of voting won't alert anyone to the fact that you have illegal immigrants living with you.

Yes, saying "we're not going to punish you if you go out to vote, even though you broke the law and should be deported" Is encouraging illegals to vote. And if you listened to it you'd know they're talking about the voters themselves just as much as they're talking about their families.

Fact is, if Russia sent millions of people into America to vote in the election for their preferred candidate, it would be an international incident and we'd be hearing about it for years, but Mexico can do the exact same thing and get it approved of by the incumbent president? the fuck.

Because if you aren't talking about legal citizens (the people Obama was encouraging to vote) then you've created your own fantasy here and I'm not exactly interested in talking about whatever fantasy world you've concocted where Obama told illegal aliens to go out and vote.

I never said the word "they", the closest i got to saying that is "their" so now I have no idea what you're talking about.

"Many of the millenials, dreamers, undocumented...uh...citizens, I call them citizens because they contribute to this country, are fearful of voting. So if I vote, will immigration know where I live, will they come for my family and deport us?"
Clearly talking about an illegal alien themselves voting, now for Obama's response:
"Not true, and the reason is, first of all, when you vote you are a citizen yourself.And there is not a situation where the voting roles are somehow transferred over and people start investigating etc the sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for. If you have a family member who, maybe is undocumented then you have an even greater reason to vote"

So in addition to encouraging illegals to vote, he's also trying to trick them into thinking that voting grants them citizenship, which is what they desire the most since it prevents them from being deported. This is newspeak through and through.

Ignoring your terrible attitude, I actually will make the case that Mexicans, Guatemalans, and other hispanic groups that were given citizenship for the purpose of voting for democrats should be revoked of their status and deported, because they are being used as a weapon to "elect a new people" as the saying goes. They almost exclusively vote democrat, they have very high birthrates, and they use more welfare than they pay for. The only reason they're in the country is to turn red states blue, and make blue states stay that way. This isn't democracy, it's bullshit.

Except there was no editing, she asked a question and he answered. And anyway there's a strong case that he should no better than to say things that could be misinterpreted so easily, especially in election season and especially in this election of all of them.

Alright dude, it's clear you've got a narrative to believe and you won't budge an inch from it. If you want to believe Obama was encouraging illegals to vote (which he wasn't) and the democrats are importing Mexicans by the truck load to take control of the country go ahead.

I'm not exactly interested in debating a fantasy so I'm done with this line of discussion.

Brah you're not even trying. I gave you my honest opinion and I'll happily listen to yours. Don't plug your ears and storm out just because I have things I believe in, I'm no going to do the same to you.

Also everyone is losing their shit about the EC this year as if this has never happened before, it's happened four times beforehand and one time in all our lifetimes (the 2000 election).

While everything you said is true, I do believe that 2016 has the largest discrepancy between who won the EC vs popular vote.

As in, Clinton won the PV by a larger margin than any other candidate in this scenario.

I can only speak for CA, but it's really hard for illegals to vote. While you may or may not need an id to vote (it's situational and up to the poll worker) You DO need a valud DL, SSN and address to register. Typically this is at the DMV.

Now, do I think fraud happens? Probably. A few thousand nation wide. But 3 million instances? That's not likely

What's there to say? Obama was clearly referring to legal citizens since that he specifically said that

"if you have an undocumented family member" meaning the individual who is debating whether or not to vote because as a citizen they are eligible to

"then you have an even greater reason to vote" meaning that because undocumented citizens (illegal aliens) can't vote, you have even more reason to vote since you can use your voice in the political process to speak for them


I can't refute your claim that democrats are smuggling Hispanics in by the millions to take over the country because no proof that it's even happening even exists. And I mean legitimate proof, not some mad raving from someone like Alex Jones. It's the equivalent of you claiming there's an invisible pink elephant in the room that only you can see. I mean yeah, I can't prove that it isn't there but there's no way for you to prove it's actually there either so we're stuck at an impasse. There's no actual discussion to be had.

1876 was also one of the most controversial elections; not just because of a popular vote or the electoral college, but because the winner was essentially picked due to support of legislation ending Reconstruction.

I'll write something lengthier once I'm home, but putting results 1876 in comparison to 2016 is comparing apples to a tomato
