Re: because their candidate lost

She got millions more votes though. Good democracy you've got there!

First, it's not a democracy, never has been, and never will be; it's a democratic republic. Second, like it or not, it's not one national election it's 51 different elections.

It bears no similarity to the Super Bowl where the winner is the one with the most points. It's closer to the World Series where it doesn't matter how many points you score in each game, you have to win more games. Yes, there's a quirk where some games are more heavily weighted based on attendance but nothing's perfect.
