"Can't Count Votes? Just Draw Straws."

Journal by fustakrakich

That the Democrats lose House seats, do not win the Senate and barely manage to drag their demented presidential candidate towards a stalemate tells a lot about their lack of sane policies. A donor party completely disinterested in what the people really want - medicare for all, no fracking etc. - will have little chance to survive a future onslaught of conservatives with a more competent figure head than Donald Trump. ...should Trump lose this election, Trumpism will only grow and make the U.S. ungovernable.

    You knew the rules going in.

    Yes, and Biden is going to win by those rules.

    Popular vote: Ignore it: does not count for shit.

    No, it demonstrates how truly unrepresentative to the will of the people the Presidency is.

    Electoral College Vote: this is the only thing that matters.

    If you dislike the Electoral College system, then work on convincing your congress critters to work on changing the rules.

    Yes and yes. I am a proponent of the National Popular Vote for the Presidency and with my direct help we just passed it in CO.
