Ironically Hillary’s strategy on this backfired as she focused too closely on certain states...

Direct election of a president isn’t really a tyranny of the majority kind of thing. I mean, indirect election is definitely what the Founders set up to avoid the tyranny of the majority, no objection there. But I think they were wrong, and you can look at many countries around the world and see that direct elections…

It also means that, through insane gerrymandering, the GOP was able to hold a sizeable lead in the house. Never mind that the house should look a bit more like the popular vote - if it was an actual reflection of the populous. But it’s not, because gerrymandering.

It means that Trump was not the choice of the majority of American voters. It means that for the second time in 16 years, a Republican president has been chosen against the democratic will of the people.

If it comes to a situation where people are unsafe, Canada does have a fairly progressive stance toward LGBT refugees fleeing persecution. Honestly though that makes my heart hurt to even consider; I hope the community will stay and fight for each other.

I’m torn about Ryan vs Trump.

Well, I suppose that’s some comfort....

Bankrupting even 1 casino where the business model is “people get very drunk and then hand you almost all of their money and you keep it all” is more than enough to make someone unfit to hold any office other than assistant toaster at Quiznos
