Why the hell did Bernie Sanders run for President again? | GREAT QUESTION! | image tagged in kylie glasses black white,bernie sanders,bernie,feel the bern,bernie2016,bernie i am once again asking for your support | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
By running in ‘16 and ‘20 and amassing the following he did, Bernie Sanders has had a bigger impact on the trajectory of the Democratic Party than any other individual of the past decade or so, with the possible exception of Obama

He didn’t have to win to make his ideas mainstream. He won by losing, basically

Hope this helps

You can also “lose by winning”: such as when a narrow, Electoral College-only victory for a dark horse candidate results in a disastrous Presidency that sends half the country off the deep end, and the other half running Left farther and faster than ever before in history

However, there is a bright spot for Trump supporters these days: Biden and Trump are neck-to-neck in the polls*

*In Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas

The electoral college is an actual thing.

What was the total county count? 2,649 to 503? LMAO

The national popular vote is an actual thing, too! Just not a thing that counts, and that’s a problem.

Worth noting that the Constitution does not mandate that states apportion their EV’s according to winner-take-all, and indeed some states don’t.

We could establish a close approximation of a national popular vote if most states abolished winner-take-all; no Constitutional Amendment necessary.

Republicans captured the WH twice in the last 20 years against the popular vote through the Electoral College. For reasons that remain mysterious to me, the Democrats still haven’t made it a high-priority item, but if it happens a third time, I think we’ll see real movements toward reform.

Electoral systems in democracies worthy of the name cannot defy the will of the people forever.

Not a democracy. Say it with me:

Constitutional republic.

So not just NYC, LA and Chicago get to choose the prez. I know that makes you seethe but too bad.

Any distinction between the terms "democracy" and "republic" has nothing to do with the existence of a potentially counter-majoritarian system of selecting a President.

When you get right down to it, the U.S. is both, and we would be both with or without the Electoral College.

If the USCIS isn't a good enough source for you, try the dictionary.

America is not a straight democracy. If it were, the popular vote would actually mean something. That's where the constitutional republic thingee comes in.

I guess that side salad of victory at SCOTUS tastes all the better when served along with several main courses of defeat
