He can't run for president but he's already running the country.

Hilary lost because of the electoral system ,she won the popular vote

But on the other hand, she neglected key battleground states and Trump didn't, so this is less a failure of the system (which sucks anyway) and more Hillary actively choosing to play the wrong game.

She would have won the electoral college if she won more states, which she would have done if she wasn't an establishment Democrat but actually had a popular platform.

If there was no electoral college she would have won. You are proving my point

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

If she was actually running on a popular program, she would have won even with the electoral college. She lost because she alienated the people, it really isn't difficult to be better than Trump.
