As if an editorial that agreed with you was more informative than the link I gave you.Then you can remain ignorant. It's not my problem.
The popular vote isn't a thing
- Thread starter kaz
- Start date
Both came to power in something closer to the Electoral college than the popular vote.
How many voters are in those metro areas? How many actually vote for dems or repubs?
New York City gave Clinton about 2,100,000 votes compared to Trump's 500,000.
San Francisco was 345,000 for Clinton vs 37,000 for Trump. La county was 1.8 million for Hillary and 620,000 for Trump.
Does it actually seem feasible to you that less than 5 million people would rule the country?
Really? Over 60 million people voted republican. Do you really think the popular vote for president would kill the republican party? If so it is hardly worth saving.Yup, by hook or by crook. Y'all could just throw milkshakes and bricks at legislators who oppose the Nat'l Popular Vote Compact. Anything to assure one-party rule. WOOT WOOT! Way to preserve democracy and fight totalitarianism.
When in the history of the world has a dictator gained power by benefit of a national popular vote?

Not even close. Don't confuse totalitarian with authoritarian. Hitler governed by the will of his people.

I was mimicking your wording; it's really minorities. Blacks, Hispanics, and penthouse liberals in the NYC region and greater LA -- all of whom vote overwhelmingly for one party -- would decide the presidency in every election.
Hitler did not win the popular vote to gain power.
Bullshit. That amounts to less than five million voters.
Still Blacks being allowed to vote??? Scary for the white nationalists types

Quite a few times, really. One of the most famous modern dictators, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, was popularly elected. So was Juan Peron. Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro.

Hitler governed by terror and by the support of a mob that was never a majority.

Not unless a LOT of the Americans who don’t fit that description agreed.

You know this is meaningless, right ?
An interstate compact does not have the authority to tell a state to change its election law. A Constitutional amendment would, but an interstate compact does not.”

Maybe look this stuff up before you cry and look stupid.
Los Angeles County has registered 5.1 million people, or 82 percent of its eligible voters
New York City added 134,194 new voters in 2017. Now there are more than 4.6 million active registered voters in the city
Los Angeles County, with its more than 10 million residents, has more voter registrations than it has citizens old enough to register with a registration rate of 112 percent of its adult citizen population. The entire state of California had a registration rate of 101 percent of age-eligible citizens,the lawsuit said, citing data published by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.

It isn't meaningless. Nor is it forced.
These are states deciding on their own how they will award their EC votes.
That makes it a thing.
I'm going to have to question Maduro ,being elected fair and square
Napoleon won an election?
1. Iquoted how many voters in New York or LA voted for democrats.
2. I already posted an article debunking the rest or your crap.
