Vladimir Putin says Russia is ready to fully restore relations with the United States

This alone is a bigger accomplishment already than anything that Clinton was proposing

We're the united states of America. "The united people of America" has a nicer idealistic ring to it, but that's just not the way it works. Highly populated areas have their own specific interests while less populated areas (like in the midwest) have their own interests. It's just not fair if a candidate wins the big cities and simply just caters to them, it gives them absolutely no incentive to improve upon the rest of the country that is less populated (but still very vast). Not to mention the electoral college actually gives minorities a larger voice in elections, because what if every election was decided by white people alone?

I just explained how big cities would actually have less of an impact with a popular vote. If candidates only catered toward big cities, then they would only get 9% of the vote. We don't have an electoral college because we're called the United States of America. Many states have their own big cities, in addition to their wide open rural areas. Dividing the vote up by states doesn't combine interests of the people from each state. Trump counted on rural areas in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc. while Clinton counted on the cities. 2 completely different interests, but still within one state. It just shows that state dividers are pointless for a presidential vote.

You can get 270 electoral votes and only win 22% of the popular vote. That's how ****ed up the electoral college system is. All these problems people come up for in defense of the electoral college don't actually exist.  

For those salty he won
 

150k retweets on this. Dozens of people claiming it. Not a single audio or video. People are extremely thirsty to be the victim. These are the exact type of people that we're tired of politicians pandering to. These are the exact type of people who voted for Hillary. Why look into the facts when you can immediately become emotional and angry?

In one pathetic tweet like this, a candidate can become "racist."

When friends and family are disowning you cause you voted Trump LOL  

We've received over 10 million immigration applications from U.S citizens, please stay in your own country.

Our PM said he'd ease immigration rules to help our American neighbors, and that's exactly the problem.

You have a country with millions of people who are willing to hop ship and give up right away without even putting up a fight, they can complain about Trump and his voters all they want, they are the real problem.  

There's no reason a map should look like this:

and the candidate loses. You're just wrong. This picture clearly shows it. Hillary won New York and California by winning NYC and LA/San Diego alone...  

The Dow just hit an all-time high!

You're only proving my point. The electoral college caters to big cities in many states. Without the electoral college, you couldn't win by simply winning the majority of the big cities' votes.  

Nice cancerous aftermath for this election.

Really goes to show how unbelievably deluded both sides can be.

Its like 60% of the American population are ******ed drama-queens that can't handle any ounce of truth.Oh wait...

I'm over it though.

yep, a little panic and everyone automatically assumes it's the end, happens all the time in stock market, luckily my grandpa isn't an idiot and invested at the perfect opportunity

Dow is a stock market index for those who don't know, instead of it crashing like some of you thought and used it to 'prove' Trump is bad for the economy, it's doing the complete opposite, world markets too not just American ones

25,861,298 votes are from the top 10 biggest cities. If you cater to those cities you're in an extremely good position to do well in the general election because the cities are very spread out (NY, CA, OH, AZ, IL, FL etc). It has performed its function for over 200 years (and in over 50 presidential elections) by ensuring that the POTUS has both sufficient popular support to govern and that his popular support is sufficiently distributed throughout the country to enable him to govern effectively.

Not to mention it gives minorities an actual influence..  

pretty good speech

Kinda hard to fight when everything is corrupt and there's practically nothing you can do about it. I think I'm mostly upset about the fact that the DNC rigged it so Hillary would be the nominee. I mean wtf are you supposed to do when stuff like that happens? There's nothing you can do. If I could afford it I think I would rather get tf off this sinking ship before it's too late, too.

I don't even like Hillary, only reason I was for her was because she seemed less bad than Trump. I just really, really hope that Trump doesn't turn america into a "christian county" or some bull****...that's like my biggest concern there. No one seems to care about separation of church and state except most democrats...and now the republicans are taking over. I worry that we're going to take a giant leap backwards instead of moving forwards. I wanted Hillary to win because I'd rather nothing get done than the country getting even more messed up than it already is.
