The argument for electoral college is ridiculous.A republican voter in Wyoming is for times more powerful than a California voter.

Wyoming is about 600k in population with 3 electoral votes.

California is 38million in population with 55 electoral votes.

There's 1 electoral vote for every 200k votes in Wyoming.

There's 55 electoral vote for every 700k votes in California.

The idea that liberal voters have more voice because they live in largely populated cities is ridiculous because their votes doesn't count as long as the 3 electoral votes in Wyoming is 4 times more powerful than the 55 from California.

Electoral vote is the smartest style of Voting, I have ever seen in my Life, the reason why America is Great is because their Founding father's had a vision and made fewer mistakes, America is Great shun

21Savagw you should understand what you read before quoting.

My comment was in regards to republicans and conservatives who voted Trump in this election.My mom is a republican but she did not vote republican this year.She's one in a few many republicans who defied party loyalty for the greater good of the country.


If she had voted Trump this year,I'd gladly put her in the same basket of deplorables that are unintelligent hypocritical morally bankrupt subhumans.If I see bigotry anywhere,I would not stand for it,I'd oppose it in every ways I can.

You are ignorant of Donald Trump.

On election night, Omarosa told The Hollywood Reporter that Trump asked her if she was "ready to come with me to Washington." On Wednesday, she tweeted a picture of herself with a poster of Trump. "My last briefing as senior adviser to #realDonaldTrump for campaign."

Stop listening to the mainstream media's conditioning.
They condition you to choose their prefereed candidate.
I was subscribed to fox news on facebook before the election. I had to unsubscribe due to the large number of racists comments on their facebook page after trump won the elections. Alot of racist people came out of their hole.... I would rather stick with CNN news than fox news. Atleast, i wont have to read bigoted comments on a daily basis.

Thanks. I am glad i did. I support conservative here in Canada, but it seems conservative has a different meaning in the US as it stands now, considering those trump has been putting forward for appointments in his administration. The republican party now seems more like a far right party similar to the UKIP and BNP in the UK.

What exactly has Trump done to deserve this infamy?
Have you had an opportunity of meeting him?
Or are you judging him solely on what the corrupt media had fed you?

Trump is no bigot or racist or any extremist. He's not even a xenophobe.

He's simply one who is blunt and daring enough to tell it as it is.
He interacts with respectable Black Americans, Africans, Mexicans, Women, Muslims, etc

But that won't stop him from blaming Mexicans for the drug cartel, or Black Americans for gang-banging (Blood and Crips) or Africans (Esp Nigerians) for Online Scam which we can't deny, Or Muslim extremists for terrorism, etc.

He simply calls a spade a spade, no sugar coating. And if that is wrong, I don't think I want to be right.

Why bring a Trump Presidency topic here when you know we are Nigerians and it doesn't affect us? like someone said up there, Hillary supporters are the self-righteous type who believe everyone with an opposing view is a fool. Anyways, you guys can hang yourselves if you can't deal with a Trump Presidency.

Tarrh! which nation under GOD?

God left America the day Obama signed same sex marriage into law.


“You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination “ (Lev 18:22).

Just how serious did God take the sin of homosexuality? In Leviticus 20:13 He says, “If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads ."

So the death of America has come except Trump reverses that bill.
This is just ridiculous.Where in God's name do you people get your information from.Obama did not sign same-sex marriage into law.

Our Supreme Court ruled on the issue and determine marriage is not an exclusive right to heterosexual couples but a right for every American,gay or straight.

FYI,the Bible does not dictate what should be law in America,the constitution does.There's separation of religion and state and every American citizen gay or straight is deserving of the same God given right to reach his or her full potentials in life for success.A right to freedom,love and happiness.

You guys are so misinformed,death of America because of Same-Sex marriage.I hope he has planned the destruction of the over twenty countries that had same-sex marriage before America did.In fact most of the countries with equal marriage are some of the best performing nations on earth.I can't say that about your vey homophobic 7th century thinking nation.

Last I checked,your country is still as terrible as it was or even worse before you passed your horrendous anti-gay bill.Goodluck with your country that God supposedly loves so much but decides to keep in its very poor and pathetic state.

Hello.

Given that each of these states is viewed as being culturally unique, if a larger populated state or region were to vote for a candidate simply because of some ethnocentricity, then the outcome would be unfair and undemocratic. Also, the smaller states would be permanently disenfranchised since their votes would not count, anytime the larger populated states had an interest to defend, or vote for.

In rudimentary terms a democratic election is described as the majority carrying the vote, but this can only work where you have a homogenous group of people. In the US you do not have that so you have to find a way to even the scales, and electoral college does that wonderfully.
The electoral college was instituted under the cloaks of racism.It was never about giving voice to small states.

Lol
I've lost count on the number of times I had to correct even some African folks living here that Obama didn't legalize gay marriage.

To make matters worse, many people believe Trump will unilaterally overrule a SC decision grin
I saw a thread where some people here were celebrating his win just because they believe he would somehow stop same-sex marriage.

Just makes you ask how the lives of the men and women in the United States who live under the full protections of laws made in their own country affects people thousands of miles away to the extent of them wanting to see their lives destroyed just to satisfy their utterly insane beliefs.

What is this epistle all about?

What does supreme court of America represent? Apparently not Somalia but united states so when I say Obama signed it into law I was simply implying that the POTUS agreed to the ruling and even hailed the decision.

"In a 2011 letter to members of Congress, Obama said same-sex marriage bans were unconstitutional .
"Real change is possible," he said "America should be very proud."


President Obama said this after the supreme court ruling.
✔ @POTUS
Today is a big step in our march toward equality. Gay and lesbian couples now have the right to marry, just like anyone else. #

And regarding your last paragraph I will want to crave your indulgence to the fact that you are not an American and you will never be except you are white so stop fooling yourself.
