Basic Channel is a litmus test in my book for anyone ' s dedication , or symbiotic relationship they have with techno . If someone sites them as an influence , favorite , or as the Legends they are , that person gets it . Basic Channel has and will always be the real deal . <| sep |> Hahah keep your dck in your pants guys <| sep |> Actually , it ' s more complicated than that . If we didn ' t have the electoral college , Trump would have gone with a completely different campaign strategy and would have focused his efforts more on big cities . In that case , I ' m almost sure he would have still won the popular vote . He knew he didn ' t have to win the popular vote , so he focused on what mattered the electoral college . When they were setting this whole thing up , they realized that if they didn ' t have an electoral college then politicians would have only focused on making two of the big cities happy . If they did that then they would have won the popular vote and just said , screw the rest of em . That ' s no way to run a country . In this case , what happened is that if you are a Republican in California , yes , it ' s true that there ' s not much reason for you to go vote sometime except to make a point . Because California has gone blue a lot lately . not always , but a lot . If we have a popular vote , then guess what . All of those California and New York Republicans are gonna come out of the woodwork and finally vote . I suspect the Democrats wouldn ' t like what they see . Either way , the popular vote is no way to run a country . If we had nothing but a popular vote then LANYC and a couple other big cities decide our fate for eternity and screw people in Oklahoma or Mississippi . Our government is an amalgamation of states , so you have to have an electoral system to give each state any semblance of representation .
