hankie Everything User ID: 71719409 United States 12/01/2016 06:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Excellent. I am sure most whiners i.e. libs haven't looked at the second layer of the EC map i.e. not just states but counties. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70631725 These numbers are astounding and tell the whole story. Thank you! No they do NOT tell the whole story. All of these stats are biased. Do you honestly think a county with 100 people is as important as a county with 1,000 or 100,000? Get real people. This just shows that rednecks aren't that bright. Alaska is a huge amount of land, so when you make it red on the map it looks like a huge part of America supported Trump. But there is still only a couple million people in that whole state, so it's basically 1/5 as important as New York City. So many counties that voted for Trump are mostly empty land. That's just a fact. And no, I'm not a "lib." Both candidates are corrupt and chosen by the elite for our own entertainment. However, I don't like when people use disingenuous arguments to prove their point. Oh, yes that 100 people are worth as much as those thousand believe it or not. That is the point of the electoral Collage it to make sure the many do not overtake the few, large cities pack in like sardines, it does not matter, they are equal in representation to the 100 as the 1,000 is equal to the 100. This is the way of this republic with is not a democracy, in case you do not understand it. I means no one in this country is going to have it just their way because they pack people in their area like sardines. There is small states and large states and some do not have huge cities nor do they have Sanctuary cities because it to this is not legal to have illegal taking from the citizens. Now, people who do not study history of the founding and do not seem to understand we are not a democracy not matter how calls it this. We are a republic not a democracy at all. This Republic is for the people but not just for a group of people, all the people equally. None better than the others. I not going to call people name who, are calling people name because they did not get their way. Like Redneck because they do not know the history of who the Rednecks are or were, I would be proud to be called a Redneck they were brave men a women. Those men and women who took down a criminal gang, who took over a town and would not allow them to vote them out. It came down to fighting these men, who ran they whole area, abused people conducted crimes for their benefit. Those men were back from war who lead the fight to get rid of those criminal, they got rid of them. Praise the Lord for these REDNECKS may they always be brave. Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |

Otherwise, your post is a fantastic explanation of why we have the EC! Are you a hypocrite? People in this thread seem to be arguing that a county with a larger area but fewer people should be more important than a densely populated county, i.e. arguing that some people are more important than others. I do know that New York City probably contributes more to the country than Bumfuck, Arkansas or wherever. The county map doesn't prove anything, really, except how stupid some people are. By that logic Canada should be considered more influential than the US simply because the map is bigger. What matters is where people live, not a geographical map. Can't believe this isn't obvious to some people but you are twisting reality to prove your point. The only reason we have the EC is so they can manipulate elections results however they want. If they used the popular vote it would be much harder to fix. That is the exact OPPOSITE of what we are saying. That is liberal speak, we are saying that they are equally important, which is why we have the EC. "The more you know, the crazier you look" |

The Liberals work hard at making sure their voters are kept poor and taking as many government benefits as possible so they will always vote for the free stuff candidate.

Use your brian, moran! User ID: 72889780 United States 12/01/2016 07:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know these stats/quotes have been making the rounds for the past day or two, but I wanted to post them up here: Quoting: StillGloating 66989224 There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57. There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16. Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes. In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond) Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country. These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles. When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election. Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country. So he got the biggest piece of pi, biggest by a wide margin. Wide enough to run circles around that festering gash. Glad we know how to measure that.

I did a psycholgy research paper on the subject. Population dense directly corralates to anti-social behaviour and psychosis. It's why the Democrat party only appeals to urban inmates: Yup.
