Watch again . Sloppy wavelands , a completely missed waveland , weird attempts at wavedashing in place as far as I can tell , accidental dsmash , and getting stuck in shine . All in a short while . The farthest thing from sharp . <| sep |> Nah but I ' m not one of those people who denies something for the sake of it . Which you appear to be . Why do you assume that gender did NOT play a role in this ? And how is that stance any better than assuming it did ? Because there is zero evidence to support that . The logical position is to deny an assumption absent any evidence of it . <| sep |> If the original purpose was to elect a president based on their merits and not follow the state popular vote , then it ' s not doing what it was originally designed to do . If the original purpose of it wasn ' t to allow the electors to act as if this actually was a representative republic , then they would ' ve had no reason for existing in the first place . Why would they have made a system that serves no purpose whatsoever ? If electors have to follow the state vote , they are completely and utterly redundant . As for this election , it was certainly the most disgraceful one in recent memory , if not ever . However , whether you agree with Hillary or not , she put a great deal more effort into actual planning of her policies than Trump did . She even wrote a book on it . Trump mostly shouted slogans until people believed he could actually do it , no questions asked .
