@HypnoChode Against the second greediest scumfuck politician who ran, I might add.

@HypnoChode So you want city slickers to make all your political decisions for you?

@puck61 better than jackass rednecks and Jesus freaks

@puck61 In a democratic system, all kinds of people should have their say treated equally. City slickers and country boys should be making this kind of decision together in a balanced election, without one dominating the other.

@HypnoChode barely
@BlueVeins Exactly. That's why the popular vote taking precedence would be a disaster.

@HypnoChode popular vote irrelevant in a republic of states. Trump won many more states.
HypnoChode · 46-50, M
@easterniowegin The question posed was about Americans, not states. Of the Americans who took the time to vote, more voted for his competition than for him.
@HypnoChode I doubt if that is true, but a lot of people believe it, so if it makes people feel better, great!

@puck61 i bet you doubt a lot of facts. Go back to sleep.
@HypnoChode No. I know the difference between facts and what comes out of the mouths of progressive propagandists. Goebbels clones every last one of them.

@puck61 You win. I’m tired of arguing against Fux News conspiracy theorists who actually believe that real journalism is the enemy of the people. Go back to your bible and the talking heads on your “talking picture box”.

@HypnoChode Who cares? We don't use that system to elect Presidents so that point is meaningless.
HypnoChode · 46-50, M
@SumKindaMunster By the system we have, he was elected. So yeah, you don’t care. That’s fine. More people voted for Hillary than for him.

@HypnoChode Quick reminder that FOX News reported accurately on the issue, stating that Clinton beat Trump in the popular vote.

What we're talking about isn't a FOX News conspiracy theory; it's just an anti-facts conspiracy theory.

@HypnoChode I'm not sure why you threw in the comment about the popular vote...that wasn't mentioned in the original question. Americans in more states voted for him (or at least voted [i]againt Hillary[/i]).
BlueVeins · 22-25
@easterniowegin The original question didn't mention states [i]or[/i] a majority of anything. It simply asked about Americans voting Trump. Chaos was just pointing out that Americans who voted for Trump were a minority.
easterniowegin · 51-55, M
@BlueVeins gee thanks, i can see he did that...but why? It was irrelevant to the discussion...and frankly, it is irrelevant to any discussion about the election, except the idiots who want to rewrite the rules.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@HypnoChode I care enough to call out petulant cry babies who consistently hammer this point as if it matters.

It doesn't.

@SumKindaMunster You’re sounding like a snowflake. But hey, ✌️. You have a right to your opinion. Have a great day.

@HypnoChode Hm, I'm a "snowflake" but you are ending the discussion because why?
HypnoChode · 46-50, M
@SumKindaMunster Because you win. You’re the best, dude.
