It is if you try to win based on the rules. What fool wouldn't make 270 their goal after 2000.?

Just as a reminder, no Clinton has ever won a majority of votes cast in any presidential election.

Democracy hangs on the idea that whoever gets the most votes wins," she said.

Ahh, but then, we're not a democracy, are we Lizzy?

Elizabeth,

You ignorant and subverting parasite on the public body.

Of course we are not a “democracy” and were never intended to be controlled by that tyranny.

We are a Republic. No where in our founding are we called a Democracy because even the lowest of our founders knew that the Democracy was a path to tyranny and injustice.

Thievery, demagogues, immense cruelty were all the lessons of what Democracy did to free societies.

You hope to impact the ill educated and fearful among us. Go back to your privileged false life you built after claiming falsely to be disadvantaged.

And since she is a Senator, how is the Senate a sign of a “healthy democracy”? After all, Wyoming is equal to California in the Senate—but wait, that was the idea. We a a republic made up of “sovereign” states. Each state has equal rights. And, alas for ‘democracy’ lovers, the Senate is off-limits when it comes to amendments.

Please, all liberals and recent college graduates. The USA is NOT a democracy. We are a Democratic Republic.

Please go to a good library look this up and try to understand that the founders did not want a pure democracy as that would lead to pure gridlock.

Guess what, Lizzie.

The USA is a Republic. And a federal one at that.

Hmm, the left had a different view when states voted against sodomite mirage, multiple times. Then the will of the people counted for nothing.

And, again, California (with its large illegal population) should decide national elections from here on out?

Warren does not understand America is a democratic republic. Pure democracy is simply mob rule. That is not America.

Of course, Senator Warren knows very well that we are a Republic and that we select our President through the Electoral College. Remember, she is speaking to the useful idiots known as Democrat voters. She wants these cretins to believe that the election was “unfair” and “undemocratic”. Lying to these people and keeping them riled up is essential to sustain their power based and their only hope to regain power at the national level.

In 2016, nearly three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton . . . That's not exactly the sign of a healthy democracy. Democracy hangs on the idea that whoever gets the most votes wins," she said.

Agreed. The fact that anyone voted for Hillary Clinton is a danger sign for our constitutional republic. 65,845,063 morons? Frightening!

We are not, and never have been a democracy.

We are a Democratic Republic. Law holds the pinnacle authority in a Republic.

A concept completely lost on the fake professor.

Stop letting them get by with the “democracy” nonsense. We are a constitutional republic. Words have meaning.

Liz, I know that math is hard; but the person with the most votes did win. 304 - 227.

It is hard to be a healthy Democracy when so many of our elected officials do not understand how our elections and government work. Or worse, just don’t care.

Well Miss Uneducated Warren, we are not a “democracy” we are a republic, a democratic republic, and if you knew and understood the difference as well as the importance and superiority of a republic over pure one-man one vote democracies, you’d understand why we have an electoral college, which has over our 200 plus years helped us remain a republic.

Frankly, I don’t the electoral college does enough. We should discount densely populated areas. Why should cities have such political power?

Considering we are a constitutional republic, my thought is “good”.
