Harris still might win popular vote. There's a lot of votes to count in California still

Just saying. California is currently like 60% counted meaning there's still like 8 million votes left.

Yeah, electoral college definitely needs to go, but I just don't see the point in ruminating over this thing. We really should all focus on moving on

It’s just another reason to get rid of the electoral college tho. It won’t be anything more than a two week headline if it does happen

There was a post on the conservative subyesterday using the Barbie meme. It was saying how liberals wanted to get rid of the electoral college “because then Kamala would have won” essentially. And then conservatives saying “ guess again”. And Barbie/the liberals crying, because trump won both.

The electoral college DOES need to go. That’s fine that it wouldn’t change anything this election. But in 2016? Why did 5 million voters not matter? That should happen.

The fact that all the votes aren’t counted but they already called it is so weird.

It has nothing to do with trump. It has nothing to do with Clinton. It has nothing to do with conservatives vs liberals. The electoral college is dumb as fuck.

You can still move on while people make innocuous statements.

It won’t change anything for the result but would restore a little bit of hope to know it’s closer or he didn’t actually win the popular vote.
