This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How does any of this matter when Trump won the popular vote? You can't get around the fact that more than 50% of voters voted for Trump.
I totally agree that your political system is fucked, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that Trump won because he cheated the system or the election was rigged. Trump won because he convinced people to vote on him, and that's the real problem.
