Anyone still to vote and thinking of voting against trump should watch this please.

I would add that in addition to watching this video they should look into the number of people that have gotten infected at his rallies (about 30,000) and the number of people that have died because of it (around 700). This guy doesn't even care about the well-being of his own supporters, which tells how stupid he is because a death voter can't cast a ballot after all

TBF the Senate is arguably even more f’d up than the Electoral College.

2 votes for California (39.5M people, 11.9% of the national population) and 2 for Wyoming (578k, 0.18%) aye?

That's intentional, and was a deal struck to keep the US from becoming the United States of Virginia, which was by far the largest state in terms of population at the time. (Which was why Madison wanted a legislature with a single house and division of seats by population.)

The U.S. is undemocratic in certain ways by design.

If 700 deaths gets you more votes than that...

I'd argue that Trump isn't stupid in that regard. He's cynical. There are other ways in which he is "stupid" in the sense of taking action against his own interests.

Oh I know. Doesn't stop it being dumb.

Trump saying he'll get 306 electoral college votes minimum.

Lol.

hope your right but don’t underestimate the craziness in the US....I think it will closer than people think

I think that if Trump has a lead without the postal votes he will declare victory and look to have the postal votes declared void due to his made fraud claims, hence the Supreme Court come in

this could rumble on for a while

I managed to never go popworld in my whole 3 years living on Fleet Street. The second they tried to charge me entry I was like “Nah, I’m going back to the Kaz” haha!

There are lines even in South Carolina. A friend just send me this shot of his polling place, not sure what to make of it because SC is a red state, but regardless it is nice seeing people exercising their right to vote.

this, basically- https://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/09/politics/van-jones-results-disappointment-cnntv/index.html

had it been Trump vs Obama he’d have a point, but not really when it’s two white folks

He's wrong to say voting for a blatant racist isn't a sign of disgruntlement over a black man having power? I'm not sure where you live but I've been around areas where what he said was inescapably true.

TBF would anyone be surprised if those dead voters having already cast a ballot is proof that Trump will use to “prove” it’s rigged.

I think high turnout with lots of younger people voting has to be good for Dems.
I read that in SC a lot of the African American vote would happen today due to a lack of trust in the mail in option.
