I think the Electoral College now needs to go away. It really doesn't serve its purpose any longer imo. Our general population has no idea how & why these electorates get picked or how they are counted. Does anybody here even know somebody who was an electorate? Hillary wins the popular vote by 3 million but Trump wins the electoral college? This is not one vote, one person. I can understand why our general population is dazed & confused.

I think Tulsi Gabbard would be a shoe in after 4 years of Trump.

My main and only cause would be the politician who stays true to the people who backed him. Not the billionaires whom Hillary represented. Not a sell-out Obama, but a champion for justice, and I'm talking economic justice for all people. There's no hope for the Democratic Party until the Clinton bosses are removed from power. I haven't seen even an attempt at a beginning. It wasn't the Russians or the FBI. It was Hillary. Ellison is a Muslim. That ain't gonna work in this country's present condition. Once again, play right into Republican hands. Where we're at right now::::::::::::::::::::: So first let's hang Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer, Reed, Emmanuel, Then I'll stay in the party.
