Hinako and Shinomiya senpai . <| sep |> This kind of shit makes me laugh . People complain about the US having a bad kind of government yet they never spend the time to look at other forms of governments among western countries . It ' s like they forget this system has been working pretty good for over 200 years , and because of this year ' s extremely out of the ordinary , edge case type , election , everything about the US system is wrong and everywhere else is right . Because of the nature of the candidates , the medias , the leaks and the timing on supreme justices retiring , the 2016 election was a very special case . The US has an electoral college yes , it was made that way so lower population states could also have a say in the country . It was specifically designed that way a long time ago by people far more intelligent than your average college students tantrumming around in the streets . Now , this particular nature of the electoral college is supposed to be balanced by the fact that the US has an house , a senate and finally the supreme court . Thats a lot of check and balance . It is in fact very well designed in most election cases when you look at it objectively compared to other countries . For example , lets look at our northern neighbour , Canada , in which the Liberals have absolute legislative power across the board with only 39 % of the vote in the general election . Absolute legislative power . Yes , they did win the popular vote , but you have to ask yourself , is it ok for a government that only 39 % of the voters voted for to be awarded such absolute power ? Don ' t throw the baby with the bathwater , the US electoral system , like all electoral systems , is imperfect . But for a country of its land size and population , it ' s pretty darn good . As for the popular vote , if you remove the illegal immigrants votes and do a recount , whether you want it or not , it is potentially as likely to give the popular vote back to Trump as it is to give the electoral college to hillary . This is obvious from the fact that it ' s the green party itself that ' s asking for a recount and not the dems . Do you really think the dems would just sit on this idly , with all their media backing and intel , if they didn ' t already know they could get something out of all this ? Wake up people , everyone is being played here .
