rushmc 23 #356 December 3, 2016 normissGiven she received more votes than any previous presidential candidate in history, even Obama, I'd say it just might have. The only problem you have with that statement is, more of the country voted for Trump. And that is the way a republic is set up. So mob majority rule doesn't get a say what's going to happen. Remember that! Trump got more of the country to vote for him.

You even said yourself that the Supreme Court is set up to make sure that the mob majority doesn't rule over the minority. That's the same concept here it's called The Electoral College. No, it is not the same concept. The SC ensures that the majority cannot enact laws that benefit themselves and persecute the minority, if those laws are in conflict with the constitution. The Presidential election is completely different. It's a binary outcome. In your wording, either one side gets their mob rule or the other side does. So what you are currently celebrating is the fact that the mob minority managed to rule over the majority of the country.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

jakee 1,595 #375 December 3, 2016 QuoteYou explained absolutely f****** nothing. Just because you're incapable of comprehending it doesn't mean it didn't happen. QuoteBut more of the country voted for Trump. What does that mean, more of the country? Apart from the EC, what are the parts of the country that vote, that voted more for Trump than Hillary? QuoteThat's not mob Rule. By your definition it is. You can't have your retarded cake and smear it all over your face while trying to eat it. If a majority of people chooing a president is mob rule, then 'most of the country' choosing a president is mob rule. QuoteIt shows how the Electoral College was put into place to make sure that mob rule did not run the country. No it doesn't, because that's a ridiculously stupid question. Mob rule is the biggest / strongest mob being able to do whatever the fuck they want with no controls over how much that hurts everyone else. Electing a president could only ever be an example of mob rule of the President was able to do whatever the fuck the mob that elected him wanted with no controls over how much that hurt everyone else. In which case it would matter how the President was elected at all - whether by popular majority, EC, drawing lots, or rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock. The outcome would be mob rule by whatever mob, large or small, supported that President. So whichever way you approach it, your argument is upside down and inside out.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
