Who said anything about changing the system?

I'm just giving you the facts.

Clinton won the popular vote, thus, America did not get the President they voted for.

"Popular vote" or not, there is still a 99.99% chance you will lose your bet with Frank and my "pussy 12 months banishment" bet, in mid December

I'd say 100%.

I've already conceded.

This isn't about that, though.

This is about America not getting what they voted for.

They voted for Clinton, but got Trump.

They've been cheated (by the system).

"Clinton’s vote total is a historic achievement.

"Clinton now has the third highest number of votes of any presidential candidate in U.S. history (she also became the fourth presidential candidate to win the popular vote but lose the Electoral College).

"She is behind only Barack Obama’s two historic elections. However, she just surpassed the tally of George W. Bush."

That's all academic, unless you want the US to change their voting system, if you want that, have the guts to start a thread about it

The Electoral College is in existence in the US to protect smaller states because the general election is State by State. It's not a federal election like here where the States are excluded

Direct your "America didn't get the President they voted for" at Americans, not us Aussies, that'll get you no where

TRUMP IN 2012: Electoral College A ‘Disaster For Democracy’...

TRUMP IN 2016: Electoral College Is ‘Actually Genius’...

This situation with the popular vote has only happened FOUR times in the history of the United States. Two of those times within the last 16 years. That probably is a signal that the Constitution is due for an update.

Democracy??

The United States isn't a Democracy........The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic, governed by law (the Constitution) not by a Majority Vote.

Why don't you propose a 28^th Constitutional Amendment to the United States Constitution, to the United States Congress?

You can do it if you wish you know, & you must also know that unless Americans Ratify a New Constitutional Amendment to their Constitution (it doesn't belong to the Government....it belongs to the People), the process won't ever be changed.
