Hillary had 3 million more votes than delinquent Donny

Constitutionally rigged because we have an undemocratic Electoral College system which ignores the will of the people.

the 'wyoming rule', which would increase the size of house by decreasing the size of each house district in every state to the population of the smallest state's single district--and by doing so, increase the number of electoral college votes accordingly..... would not have affected any presidential election, except in some scenarios, 2000--which was ultimately decided by a republican-majority scotus. because when you add house seats to big 'blue' states, you also give them to big 'red' ones. you'd have to go straight popular vote instead....

Which is why Trump claims that Hillary managed to sneak 3 million illegal immigrants into polling places to vote.

His evidence? "I should have the most votes! If I didn't, she must have cheated!!!"

Quite frankly, if Hillary did this and had the 3 million illegal immigrants vote in safe blue California instead of in swing states, she deserved to lose. At the same time, if she was coordinated enough to get 3 million illegal immigrants to vote without leaving any evidence, perhaps she would have been an extremely efficient President. (Of course, the reality is that this is all just Donny's Narcissistic Fever Dream.)

It kind of sucks that 5 seconds of rational thinking is all it takes to completely unravel any of Trumps lies, he can be discredited in real-time his lies are so easy to debunk. It sucks because that is apparently still not a low enough barrier...

He's so bad at it that his accusations manage to both lack any evidence or make any sense. It boggles my mind that he's still popular enough to make his reelection plausible.

He speaks to a gutfeeling and emotion. Think of him more as a religious cult leader rather than a politician.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
