Journal by DeathMonkey

Good news everybody!

Hillary Clinton will be an Electoral College Elector for NY

Aren't you glad to know that your votes don't actually count and that Hillary Clinton is one of mere 538 people in the United States whose vote actually does count?

    dislike the electoral college method of electing the president. You are perfectly entitled to think it is a bad way to go about electing the president.

    But, if you think it is bad, then what you need to do is start pushing/bugging/bribing your congress critters to change it to some other way to choose the president.

    But what you should not do is go into a deranged insanity because your candidate lost the election despite grabbing more popular votes.

    Everyone, even you deranged ones, knew the rules going in to 2016. They were the same as this time:

    Popular vote: does not matter, ignore it.

    Electoral College vote: does matter, this is the only one to pay attention to.

    So you should ignore the popular vote for this election, it does not matter, and you know it does not matter going in to the election. The rules are the electoral college vote matters, and only the electoral college vote matters.
