  1. All 5 times the candidate who won The Popular Vote but lost The Electoral College were Democrats; Jackson lost to Adams Jr. in 1824, Tilden lost to Hayes in 1876, Cleveland lost to Harrison in 1888, Gore lost to Bush Jr. in 2000, & Clinton lost to Trump in 2016.

  4. The electoral college system is proof that the US is not a true democracy. It never has been. But singing the democate song is a good slogan.

  7. Even if 99% of people voted for trump and kamala is only 1% she can still win based on this stupid electoral voting system. US need to change this and based it on population. let's say 51% voted for trump and 49% of population voted for harris then trump wins. The elites dont give an F though and want to maintain a puppets.

  11. "Others" have a whopping 54. No. No other state. Just California. Who always blue, who's always the joke of America. Who's always a huge factor in every Democrat win. Without California, we'd be Republic every time.

  14. The electoral college proves that your vote doesn’t matter. It was created because the founders didn’t trust the ignorance of voters.
