...telling the majority of people who voted in the presidential election that their vote does not count...
Guess what, genius, there vote doesn't count! Only the votes of electors are counted. People vote for electors, not the president.
Newsflash, Oh Great Ignorant One, America isn't a Democracy (despite what your one eyed boob tube tells you every night), it's a Constitutional Republic!

(OMG how can people be this ignorant in this day and age of information technology!?)

“...telling the majority of people who voted in the presidential election that their vote does not count...
Guess what, genius, there vote doesn’t count!”

Well, I’m not officially a genius, but I appreciate that at least you think I am. Nonetheless, I feel I have to tell you that a lot of people think that their votes do count in a presidential election.

Did you ever hear of the 2000 presidential election? It was a long time ago, and you probably were too young to remember, but it came down to how the votes were counted in Florida.

The Republicans and the Democrats both hired the best lawyers in America and went to SCOTUS to get a ruling on how to proceed. SCOTUS said that it didn’t matter because the popular vote didn’t count. HAHAHA!!! No, I’m only kidding.

Actually, the Supreme Court and the Dems and the Repubs all thought that the popular vote in Florida mattered. Too bad they didn’t have you there to straighten them out!!!
