I'm not a yank, but I'm pretty sure the president is decided by the electoral college.
Citizen votes are just a barometer for popularity. The actual deciding power is firmly within bourgeoisie circles.
More or less. In theory people vote for "electors" who vote for their candidate in the electoral college. In practice there's plenty of states where electors can ignore the will of the people with anywhere between no consequence to a fine and/or replacement.
Wiki: Faithless Elector
Not that the will of the people matters much in a country so thoroughly controlled by the bourgeoisie at so many levels to begin with.
Actually your electoral system does not work like that
in 2016 le orange man got ~63 million votes while hillary cringeton got ~65.9 million votes
65.9 > 63
so "fewer people voted" for drumpf and yet he won
Could you explain to me how the people selected Kamala Harris to be on that ballot in the first place? Oh she was selected by a senile old man and approved by a shadowy cabal?
The regular cabal. The DNC is pretty open about it
Fair point. The non-shadowy cabal.
Sorry sweetie, only one side says nice things about LGB~~T~~ people.
Don’t worry. The Democrats will always care about the LG~~BT~~ community.
Huh? The Democratic Party is a big tent. We welcome all people of the ~~LGBT~~ community. Unless you’re a republican 🤣 jkjk we love our colleagues across the aisle.
not necessarily true, but also you don't get to pick who you CAN vote for in the first place.
Translation: Harris lost because she didn't even try to capture the magic of Obama and promise anything different for her constituencies, that would convince Biden's voters to back her, especially on Falastin.
Putting aside even the electoral college and who chose her as candidate anyway (the DNC).
blompf stole the election both times (i don't actually know or care if that's true, i'm just saying it now to get the libs fired up)
