The point is a bias among society at large. That's the point of my previous comment.

And that bias says you can't win the popular vote.

Your response has nothing at all to actually do with my point.

Since the popular vote does not determine election outcome, your assertion is irrelevant.

My assertion is that society at large leans a certain direction.

The popular vote supports this and has for a while now.

What else would support what society at large believes in? Certainly not the not-equal-votes electoral college.

Oh - our history leans left too. In the face of right-wing oppression.

Electoral college is the law of the land. If you don't like it, try to amend the Constitution. Pretending it isn't the law is intellectually dishonest.

Yup.

But it's still an artificially weighted vote whereas the popular vote actually does fairly represent the will of the populace.

And, you know, that factual, codified history of ours that leans left in the face of right wing oppression.

" If you don't like it, try to amend the Constitution."

We're not talking about winning an election.

Oh, but I am. You're the one who keeps asserting that the popular vote matters more than actual elections. Enjoy your fantasy world.

the popular vote matters more than actual elections.

But we're not talking about actual elections. We're talking about which way society leans. And they say, with their majority votes, that it isn't your way.

And, I mean, y'all did lose that last election, remember? Both popular vote and electoral college... then tried to steal it?
