Donald Trump and US politics
" Nice fantasy by the (far) right wing. Wow, you need to back your argumentation with this. As I said before "idiot train". You don´t really belong in there, I think. Last edited by Schmodderhengst on Oct 15, 2017, 3:53:37 PM

" I know, we just have different methods (see above). |

" I would have preferred to see Sanders. I bet he would be president now. That was stupid indeed, even if I would not choose such harsh words. |

" If I'm reading the article correctly, it seems as if Germany has an even more 'degressive' allocation of seats than the US electoral college.
Spoiler
"The number of votes a state is allocated is based on a form of degressive proportionality according to its population. This way, smaller states have more votes than a distribution proportional to the population would grant. The allocation of votes is regulated by the German constitution (Grundgesetz).[1] All of a state's votes are cast en bloc—either for or against or in abstention of a proposal. Each state is allocated at least three votes, and a maximum of six. States with more than
2 million inhabitants have 4 votes, 6 million inhabitants have 5 votes, 7 million inhabitants have 6 votes." Were the US to follow the same formula... There would be 13 states with 6 votes, 6 states with 5 votes and 31 states with 4 votes. That would leave 232 in the general election California's say in the presidency would be reduced to .026% instead of 10.22% (6 out of 232, vs 55 out of 538) Trump would have received 145 votes and Hillary only 87 So instead of losing by ~34% (304/227), Hillary would have lost by 67% (145/87) Again, this is if I'm understanding your system correctly, which I could be completely off.

" That is NOT the Bundestag, our parliament. The government is formed within the Bundestag. Laws from the parliament have to pass the Bundesrat(representation of the single states) though. The representation of the states has nothing to do with the election of a chancellor, which is the most powerful position here. That happens via the Bundestag, actually a chancellor needs to find a majority of members within the Bundestag (usually) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundestag, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-member_proportional_representation Last edited by Schmodderhengst on Oct 15, 2017, 4:47:45 PM

" Who knows, maybe some, but unlikely several million and unlikely all for Clinton. |

Unlikely all for Clinton???? seriously???? Do you really think a single illegal alien would have voted for Trump, while he made his campaign about kicking illegals out of the country xDDDD omg. wake up Zoonie.

He's just moving goalposts. First there were no illegal votes. Then there were a handful of solitary cases. Now there are a couple of thousand but they weren't all for Hillary. He'll get there :)
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
