    Let me fix that for you:

    Due to the corruption of the Electoral College and even though he lost the popular vote, Trump beat an elderly, uninspiring, career politician.

    ETA: Enough with the “well golly gee dontcha know that is how it works in the US” as if that justifies it. Let’s accept it for what it was: a way for slave owners to have greater influence than their state’s population otherwise allowed.

      You do realize that how you win an election in the USA, right?

      You do also realize that the #fascist #GOP is never going to try to change a system where they have an inherent advantage, right?

      Weird distinction, as none of those rules that resulted in Trump winning have changed.

          And yet, have zero bearing on this upcoming election, because it’s certainly not going to change in the next year. I.E., his “correction” in the context of the original comment is useless.
