I am getting really sick of that eternally half-a**ed argument.Firstly, the will of the people is also represented by a Republican majority in both houses of congress.
Which exists in spite of the fact that Democrats won back seats in both houses.
Secondly, the popular vote in the presidential election is a goddamn meaningless statistic, because both candidates campaigned to win the electoral college vote, not the popular vote.
You claimed that Democrats were trying "to prevent the will of a democratic election from being enacted." The popular vote is the only democratic part of the election. If you are going to disregard it, you have no basis to even pretend that the president-elect was chosen democratically.
If the campaigns had been run for the popular vote, Trump wouldn't have had eleven million rallies in Pennsylvania and would have had some in California.
And that's a bad thing now? Actually paying attention to people in California and Texas and so on is a bad thing?
If y'all Democrats hate the popular vote so much and find it so misrepresentative of the people,
False premise.
why did you try to get it changed when it was helping you?
We didn't.
It's just something for you to whine about to help feed your victim complexes and patriarchy/white conspiracy theories.
Uh huh. You can keep telling yourself that. The self-projection is astounding.
