Across all states, more people voted for him than for Harris.

I never said otherwise.

Unless you're arguing that electoral college votes should be redistributed in a way that ensures the winner will always be a Democrat...

No, I'm saying that your system needs to be fixed so every vote has the same weight, that's all. The fact that the term 'popular vote' exists at all is the flaw. Who won this year is irrelevant to the argument.

Why? Trump won fair (proverbial at least, I don't think all the misinformation that has been spewed on X counts as 'fair') and square this year, but that doesn't mean your system isn't flawed. Votes from certain states still carry less weight due to improperly distributed electors. Same happened with Gore vs Bush by the way.

I'm most certainly not. Oh look, time for The Two Minutes of Hate already. 📺

That's funny, I could have sworn it was Eurasia last year. I must be mistaken.

The majority voted for the candidate I don’t like. That means democracy is broken.

Don't worry, the US democracy was already broken. That became painfully clear when Trump started whining about not winning the popular vote when he was elected the first time. Being able to lose while having the support of the majority of voters is proof enough:

Hillary: 65,853,625 votes

Trump: 62,985,106 votes

Not every vote has the same weight, which is just completely bonkers and proof that your archaic system is due for a retrofit. Let's just hope it won't get chucked away entirely in the coming years.

Somewhere up in high orbit sounds fine. In space nobody can hear you scream, not even Trump.

he should never be allowed in this country again.

I'd appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else's doorstep, thank you very much.

For $250000 I'm totally fine with him showing me his penis. Unfortunately I think he won't be interested now that consent is given though. ☹️

"You're not being sacked, no, we are releasing you into a world of opportunity!" Yes, a friend of mine actually heard that one a while ago when he was 'let go'. 🤨

As a developer I can only say: no matter how foolproof you make your product, you will always encounter that one special user.

Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind.

Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.
