I respect you for coming in here and saying this . I don ' t agree with you on politics obviously . But I do respect you . Thanks for having the strength of your convictions , even when it isn ' t easy . <| sep |> This is fallacious and shows your bias . A murder is totAlly unrelated lol Both candidates operated their campaigns under the pretense that it is an electoral system . Clearly trump could Have gone for popular vote and campaigned in states soley because that have more people IF , that ' s what mattered . It has always been this way to avoid the mobs in concentrated cities like New York and LA having to much power . Just to remind you , hillary is coming out millions ahead because of one state california . This isn ' t the United States of California though , is it ? Popular vote is a terrible gauge of what candidate is right for the United States , but is a good gauge of what California and New York want
