People Don't Seem To Understand that Hillary Won the Popular vote

60,467,000+ people voted for Hillary and 60,071,000+ people voted for Trump. If the elections were based on actual individual ballots cast, then Hillary would be president. So, please stop saying most people voted for Trump, because it is inaccurate. He won the electoral vote, meaning he gained the most number of points through the states in that system, which is what decides the president.

The same thing happened with Bush/Gore. It's interesting how many people don't seem to understand their own country's voting system...

Yet this Hillary stabbed Bernie Sanders in the back, he would have been your president now ........

He would never have won against Trump. He was too "socialist" for America. Nice dream though

@JaggedLittlePill: I agree. As much I loved Bernie and was rooting for him in the beginning, I think he was too liberal for "middle America". Funnily enough, though, I actually think he has a better chance if he runs again for 2020. He'll be seen as even more of an underdog, and since a lot of people already think it should have been him instead of Hillary, he will already have a ton of support.
