There is nothing in America that is determined by a national popular vote, and that's by design. A number of States have passed laws directing that their electors vote for the Presidential candidate who receives the most national votes, even if the majority of their State's voters choose another. If you want to see a real insurrection, just wait until this occurs.

> There is nothing in America that is determined by a national popular vote True. But the electoral process is still stupid at this point. Initiatives are on the state level. Initiatives like Proposition 13 in CA... which is why my property taxes aren't killing me. > The popular vote is meaningless... popular vote, and that's by design You state the OBVIOUS... duh! Like I said it made sense in 1787... its a bad design 250 years later. Can you read and contemplate or do you just react like Pavlov's dog? Its ridiculous that Wyoming which has the same population as Fresno... has 3 electors. The popular vote for President should NOT be meaningless in a democracy. It only makes sense to a society controlled by oligarchs. Basically you're saying the rich and powerful should control the US. > but she sure didn't accept her loss as legitimate. Of course she did. SHE didn't like it, it was absurd, but she accepted it. She filed no lawsuits and obeyed the Constitution. An good citizen who disagrees with a provision of the constitution will still agree to follow it. Those who don't agree (MAGA) try to cheat in any way they can.
