I just accuse anyone who attacks Trump of being a racist. Hey, it’s what they did when we attacked Obama!

Trump has said that if this election were based on the popular vote, he would have campaigned in New York and California and still beaten her.

True in that he would not need to actually win those states....only peel around 2 million from her total nationally.

The electoral college cost the Ds over 1000 seats from local to state to federal offices over the last 3 elections.

To be fair, Putin probably influenced some of those state legislature races because he had a personal dislike for the D candidate. And wikileaks probably released some devastating details on a mayor or two. But that wouldn’t have mattered except for the “racist electoral college”.

/sarc

2018 is looking pretty good for Rs if Ds continue to focus on the electoral college, Putin, wikileaks, and bernie supporters to find blame.

Everything is racist. Just another phrase to pull out in the big tent of Democrat excuses.

It wasn’t racist in 2008 or 2012, but it’s racist now.

And they wonder why they lost...

When the electoral college was implemented blacks couldn’t vote, so how could it be racist?

a national popular vote would have "disadvantaged" Southern slave states, where blacks could not vote but were counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of a population count.

First off, no it would have advantaged them. And second blacks could indeed vote. SLAVES of whatever color could not vote.

So having established that you do not know anything about the subject I thing I will not bother to read anything else of M&M's ignorant screed.

There is no doubt that the EC was part of the compromise with large population states and small population states to bring them into a coalition (the United States). This was based on population concerns. There was another compromise involving slaves that did not count a slave as a full citizen. This “slavery related” compromise lasted until the Civil War undid it. The EC does not have to hang its head regarding slavery, and this article is false.

The need to compromise between large population states and small population states is still with us.

Anyone seeking to change the rule would be welcome to do so except that it must be done via a constitutional amendment.
Michael Moore is wellcome to try.

Revisionist history from black activists. They can’t be bothered to read The Federalist Papers. It’s just easier to claim racism
