    It may not be an accurate way to count, but it IS the way this country counts elections. By the rules of the game, we lost; in a big way.

      And then I say, “Yes, but that’s not an accurate way to count who’s popular.” And then you say, “Yes, but it is our current system, and determines who won the election.” And then I say, “But that’s not the point, if you read the article, it’s talking about popularity specifically.” And then you say, “But popularity doesn’t define the results of the election, the real point is, by our current system, he won by a lot” And basically we can keep going like that forever.

      Sounds like fun, right?
