They really don't understand the Constitution. If they did, they would not complain about the electoral college. Anyone who wants to abolish the EC is a brainwashed imbecile and should forfeit their right to vote, because they are stupid. Ok maybe not the last part, but whatever.
The scary thing is that, not only do they not understand it, but they don’t respect it and see it as a hurdle in enact their will on everyone in “flyover” country.
Four of the five conservative justices on the Supreme Court were appointed by presidents who LOST the popular vote.
God-willing soon to be five out of six. Thank God for the electoral college. Now if only some of those "conservative" justices would consistently make conservative decisions, that'd be great.
Guess this ass hat can't read the Constitution. He spends all his time talking about it and ripping it, maybe he should spend and afternoon and actually read it. The language is clear. Appoint, confirm, game.
People forget it's called the United States of America, not the United People of America. We have the system we do for a reason, to make sure each state is being represented as a whole. The state.
Thank God we are not a democracy, but a republic.
Democracy is for the States, not the Republic. They need to start teaching civics instead of gender studies i school again.
Man, they really do. We really do need to start teaching how our government works again.
was about to post the same thing lol
This is misleading, Bush lost the popular vote during his first term but took the popular vote during his second. The second term is when he nominated Alito and Roberts.
This is the kind of thing Snopes does. They will change the argument to suit the conclusion they want.
Cherry picking stats. Typical leftist
This is stupid because the opportunity to nominate anyone is random.
yup stats are not facts. Those are a separate forms of information
I am guessing Jon has not read the Constitution.

When has the selection of Supreme Court Justices ever been... democratic?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Correct. That is how a Democratic Republic is supposed to work.
But it's exactly how a constitutional republic works. REEEEEEEEEE
Small states biggest export is freedom.
Funny how that works.
These are the same people who want to change law through the courts because they cannot win enough votes to do it the way the Constitution intended.
LOL...sure hope they don't have expectations of Biden winning the popular vote

Good thing we live in a republic.
Welcome to the Republic
I would hate to live in the kind of democracy he thinks we should have
Omg I’ve seen people whine about this too. They don’t understand the true purpose of the electoral college.

If the presidential election was decided on the popular vote, campaigns would use different strategies than they do to win the electoral college.
The what vote?
1776 Commission
Our founding father's were literally geniuses at this government stuff.
People forget it's called the United States of America, not the United People of America. We have the system we do for a reason, to make sure each state is being represented as a whole. The state.
They were all confirmed by the senate. That is how it works.
DIS IZ WAT DEMOCRACY LUKS LIK!
That's exactly how it works
Yes Jon, because a democracy would be your 2000 square miles of people controlling the people who live in the rest of the 3.7 million square miles.
We aren't a democracy
The states have democracy. Those states are federated. Pretty simple.
