RE: DIVIDED WE FALL - OUR FAILURE AS CITIZENS, AS MANIFESTED BY THE ELECTION - PLUS A FEW THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER AS WE MOVE FORWARD FROM HERE

in #politics8 years ago

If you look at a map. Most large cities are democratic with massive population while most rural areas republican. If you win 50 cities you still shouldn't be president. it takes away from the voice of the rural voter this is the purpose of the electoral college. In honesty this election was a landslide. Hillary was trying to steal it but you can't steal a landslide.

Well said my friend.

I plan on doing a post about some of that in the near future.

Democracy- a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
Why should it matter where you come from or how many people live where you live? Personally I believe that the whole system is broken but proportional representation is NOT democracy.
