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

She’s right, it is not a healthy Democracy. Now, someone should inform her that we are Republic limited by a Constitution.
While you’re at it, remind her that she took an oath to uphold it. Maybe she should read it and reconsider her ability to do so.

O.K. Who’s going to break it to this sitting US senator that we’re a republic not a democracy.

She still hasn’t learned that we live in a representative republic, not a democracy.

The US has never been a “healthy democracy”. Trump hopes to make it a healthy republic.
To: SMGFan
Guess she doesn’t like the map showing the counties that went for PDJT? If they were to impose “their” idea, LA, NYC, SanFran and a few other major population centers would always pick the winner and FOC would be left on the hind “t”.

The whole point of the Constitution and the Electoral College is to AVOID a democracy.
CITIZENSHIP Democracy:
A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of “direct” expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic—negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy
