Dunno.
I'm just thinking about what results they would hope to achieve if they did.
Yup. That other tribe is the worstNo, factually you'll just be worse for the country, like when Bush was elected.

Bush sucked. You should cast all republicans as bushAre you this dense for real or is this just an act. Factually speaking the country was far worse under Bush.
Although in the dimension you live perhaps Bush did a great job.
Funny how neither the Republicans nor Democrats will criticize Israel for doing the exact same thing as Russia. Israel even calls Congress into session to advise them on policy.The single biggest culprit of this has to be Israel and I assume the primary motive is to co-opt US foreign policy or at least steer it into favorable actions.
I don't think it is the same as 'rigging' though, rather using internal influences/pressure/lobbying/funding and it also applies to whoever gets elected regardless. I'm sure there are preferred winners but it isn't a make or break thing. The pressure is applied no matter what.
its.....a joke? wtf does that even mean.
the popular vote is the foundation of the electoral college lol.
how do you win districts? popular vote.
Regardless you would want more people to have voted against the winner.
I know like, who cares what a majority of people in a democracy think?
Donald Trump received 62,985,134 votes. Hillary Clinton received 65,853,652 votes. The other 3 candidates won 8,286,698 votes.
65,853,652 people voted for Hillary Clinton. 71,271,832 people voted for anyone but Mrs. Clinton. The majority of the country did not vote for Mrs. Clinton. She did not win a majority of the vote.
Why did Hillary Clinton deserve to win when she did not win a majority of the popular vote, did not win a majority of the states, and did not win a majority of the electorate? By what standard did she deserve to win? More people voted against her than for her, by any metric you care to use. At least Donald Trump won a majority of the states and a majority of the electorate.
Lol oh is that how math works
Yes, it is. What part of my statement was wrong?

Hillary got more of the popular vote.
That’s math and that’s how numbers work.
Twist it anyway you’d like though
Basically the part that skips grade school mathematics.
That's not how majorities work dude.
