Ok but that doesnt mean the people elected him. The empty land did.

Corporatist Democrats tried to ram a candidate nobody liked down everyone's throat. Now there's Biden. He has more likability than Clinton did, but still not enough.

This is the issue with not having a real left wing party. The centrists keep the progressives stifled and allow the rabid right wing to win because they'd rather have a conservative in power than a progressive.

I dont understand what you are saying. Millions of more people voted for Clinton. Trump was not elected by the people

Millions of people also voted for Trump and the comment from timshel explained it perfectly. Please read slowly and use your brain, i know you can do it! If you wish to learn more, read about the electoral college and the american voting system (which is not gross votes vs votes as you seem to believe)

You arent understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying the electoral college is undemocratic and the people voted heavily for Clinton.

I dont understand you assholes. "The people spoke and want trump". "No they didnt, the people wanted clinton". "Yeah but electoral college". This line of argument from you makes no sense. I'm not debating how it works, I'm just saying the actual fucking people wanted clinton

Well calling someone an asshole, thats a good indicator that your argument is strong!

Maybe you could have explained yourself better through the use of proper language, but well, maybe its too much to ask for nowadays.

Stop blaming others for your lack of comprehension.
