You can't shut us down. Don't underestimate me and my teammate. We are strategic !!! We are also funded by the Clinton Foundation, so is Fizzer.

It seems we dominate in the field of shilling in Warlight as well as playing it !

I've lived in three countries for years, learned the people, the culture. Everywere the same: old versus young, black versus pink, dildos versus nondildos, rich versus poor. It means shit anyway. As long as there are ways to stop people going the way Syria, Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Kamboga went it's all ok. Also soon you will have no race problem due to the fact that most Americans will be mixed race.

The stranger prophecy of the ashlanders is indeed interesting. A person of a certain sign born to uncertain parents will expel the n'wah from Morrowind.

The system that elects the president (electoral college, state-based system) is obviously not as democratic as is could be. But its purpose is to keep the political system from changing too much. And it seems to have worked. The counties/states/people that supported Trump are largely against continued (social) change, for various reasons.

But that isn't really the issue here. Older, whiter, Republican voters are more reliable voters. Even with a candidate like Trump, they turn out to vote. Younger and "minority" voters are less reliable when it comes to voter turnout. When voter turnout is low, Republicans tend to win; when voter turnout is high, Democrats tend to win. Clinton spent her ad money attacking Trump and didn't offer a persuasive enough message to inspire people to overlook her flaws and go vote. The election focused on negatives, and the result was relatively low voter turnout. Clinton won more votes, Trump won more delegates (they meet to vote later this month).

Will the system change? No. Why would the Republicans vote to change the electoral college? Over 90% of their voters are white. The demographics of the country are changing, and the people's views on policy are more and more in line with the Democrats. Why change a system that allows 1 vote in a small Republican state like Wyoming to be equivalent to about 4 votes in California or New York? Why would the Republicans water down the power of their voters on purpose? Demographics are against them, but they have an edge in terms of the electoral college. Gore won by about 500,000 votes in 2000, but Bush became president. Now Trump loses by over 2 million votes and will be president. Why change a system that allows you to win when you have fewer total votes? Republicans will cling to the electoral college as long as they can, and will only decide to change it if/when the Republican platform becomes more welcoming to non-white voters.
