I do not understand your supposition... because it is ridiculous
There is no specific 'high school' meaning of popular... because the same retarded shit found there may also be found from Hollywood to every public election on the planet ever held. If you're likable, if you aren't fucking hideous: your chances of being elected to a leadership position absolutely explodes. And if you're charismatic on top of it all: you win. Your policies are largely irrelevant... if you're a bimbo speaking 'honestly to other bimbos: you'll get the bimbo vote. Ain't that right, Sarah?
Quote:They are not the same thing. One is a tallying up of votes, to see who has more, the other is basically some repressive system based on fear of "being left out"
And you don't think this occurs socially? :3 I wonder why it is that churches and social groups tend to vote for the same people. People rub off on people
And the world panics from too many penises touching.Quote:Formally the national popular vote has no value, but informally, it delegitimized bush from the start, and it does TOO matter by HOW MUCH you winning. Obama going above 51 percent TWICE is a big deal. Measured by American standards, it's a huge win, and we're not as divided as the losers make us out to be.
No, a popular vote has value only to those who care what others think... the lesser voters feeling that the majority is stupid, the greater getting a silly sense of superiority.
I find it most telling that the popular vote doesn't even contain all of the votes. I know I certainly didn't vote, even if my opinions are more on one side than another

Bush who lost the popular vote to Al Gore by over 500,000 votes, but still won the presidency....and to TSG who said, "Well, if Obama had lost it, you wouldn't have heard the end of it,..."....the dems and leftist news outlets screamed bloody murder when Bush lost it, but was still elected POTUS.
Oh come now, people always scream and whine when things don't go their way. Tantrums are loverly events to witness.

The popular vote should determin the presidency.
Because that's never ended poorly before.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
