The "smart" money loses most of the time.

can you prove that? or you just think that

Grab them by the pussy Trump says

Trump lost the popular vote by the widest margin in the history of the country, and, on top of that, his electoral college victory was not by a historic margin.

A) The President is not elected by the National Popular Vote, never has been, and Trump is not the only person elected President to been so.
B) It isn't a victory by an historic margin, but it's also NOT an historically close victory, either.

Keep trying to spin! Let's remember the Democrats, the Hillary Campaign, the MSM and most pollsters were discussing how much Hillary's margin of victory in the Electoral College was going in the days and weeks prior to late evening, Tuesday November 8th.

Instead, Trump won several states he wasn't supposed to and contested several others where it was assumed he'd lose handily.

The Dem's platform was that Lawyers, Bankers, and Teachers are doing great, and if you aren't you're a Methhead Misogynist, so let's stay the course.

It's just an old promise Obama made to his dealer in the olden days.

The release of the drug thugs don't bother me, it's that Obama gave the Congressional Medal of Honor to fifty trannies who used women's bathrooms.

Would Californias vote totals be any different in a system like NPV rather than EC?

Grab them by the pussy Trump says

a) You could do a little research before stating your argument

Again, Trump is NOT the first person to lose the national popular vote and win the election. You might want to Fact Check the Neoliberal Rag, the Guardian.

It's circling the toilet since Rusbridger left. Now it's run by some dopey SJW and all they have is single cat lady click bait articles about how hard it is to be a non-profit/government employed 30-something female on 60k pounds/year.

The Optimates caused Caesar, both indirectly (their refusal of reform and looting of the treasury) and directly (by pretty much announcing he'd get a show trial with death as the penalty when he left his command returned to Rome.)

Seldom do you hear about Sulla, the right sonofabitch Optimate who was the Dictator a few decades before Caesar. Unlike Caesar, he didn't offer clemency to his enemies.

They can spin all they want. Trump will still be President.

I've been trying out Lyft and think it actually works better than Uber.

Are these structural losses or tax writeoffs?

Being the top strategist on patnet;
BOYCOTT ALL REPUBLICANS!
SHUTTER WINGNUT BUSINESSES!

so now that the electoral college armageddon didn't happen, i am awaiting with great interest what other fear the MSM will manufacture to round up the libby sheep.

i rode uber a few times i thought it was a very cheap alternative to taxi. i will never ride a fucking overpriced POS taxi again.

can't tell where the money went but the amount is shocking.

"Wouldn't happen if democrats didn't swell their base with illegal aliens. Forget securing the border, just implement voter ID laws on a federal level and the accusations will evaporate..."

That's laughable. There will always be another conspiracy that can rile up sheeple. If you institute voter IDs, then the new accusations will be that Acorn faked the IDs or faked the paperwork to get them IDs. If half of Republicans still believe Obama was born in Kenya, voter IDs won't stop this nonsense about voter fraud.

Why you silly unimaginative little shit.
Implement fingerprinting ID as already exists in your smartphone, or better yet, iris scanning.

people won't vote for a woman-isn't that one of the excuses?

Yes, I have to agree, if someone buys a car to do Uber then they are an asshole.

You can rent car from enterprise (at least around nyc) for less and use it to do Uber ....I learned that they have some kind of agreement yesterday

ASSHOLES! who bought cars to drive for Uber are homeless and fighting with raccoons for the last french fry in the dumpster.

lol 😂😂

I keep hearing from people that uber and taxi is roughly priced the same.

my experience is that I always seem to pay 30-40% less with uber on routes I've used Taxis in the past. Done with taxis here too.

"Why you silly unimaginative little shit. Implement fingerprinting ID as already exists in your smartphone, or better yet, iris scanning."

Why not do a DNA test before you get a ballot?

Not commonplace affordable immediate technology.

haha. But you're going to put iris scanning in every polling place in the US?

The Left hates the electoral college because it makes cheating more difficult.

"The Left hates the electoral college because it makes cheating more difficult."

Actually it makes it easier as the right has figured out. You only have to illegally stop 50-80K voters in a few states vs. having to illegally keep 3MM voters from voting without the electoral college.

Individual votes don't count if they're illegal aliens.

Wyoming has 600,000 people and two Senators.

Suffolk County, NY (Eastern LI) has 2 Million people and shares 2 Senators with the other ~18M New York State Residents.

Think about this: There is a Senator for every 300,000 Wyoming residents, but only one Senator for every 10M New York Residents.

The whole of Wyoming has many, many times the voting power of Suffolk County despite having less than 1/3 the residents.

And the Constitution would have never been ratified without this discrepancy.

Seems to me this is the most undemocratic aspect of our Constitution right now.

Look the loser Hillary looks like a whole different character than the lying sack of shit Hillary as a candidate.

"Individual votes don't count if they're illegal aliens."

Yep. And recounts in Nevada, Michigan, and everywhere else they've ever done them has found ZERO evidence of any measureable amount of illegal alien voting. But, in Florida, North Carolina, et. al, they've found huge issues with voters illegally purged from the registered voting rolls.

If you want to point at voter fraud, you should be point at Republicans.

Nevada - there's no way to verify because they don't check for ID at the polling booth.

It's like a security guard saying "only employees are in the building."
"How do you know?"
"Because this is the only way in."
"Did you check and record the Badges they had?"
"We don't check IDs, we take people at their word."

31 States also don't check.

Funny because to get your Soc Sec report you have to show ID. Apparently it's okay to exercise the vote and pick the leadership of the country without doing so in most of the states.

PS You don't need to drive to get an ID. And ID cards aren't prohibitively expensive. $10 in Nevada for an under 18 ID, $22 for an over 18 ID. Same people who claim poverty just came back from the liquor store with a bottle of Hennessy

PPS Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands --- all require ID to vote.

I used Uber recently. The driver was from the '60's. We talked about Dead shows and similar era music. I was able to track the driver's progress. I would use Uber again.

BayArea says

Definitely 50% cheaper to airport in Atlanta from Decatur downtown. Cab with tip: 75 bucks Uber: 29-32 bucks

Actually the scroll above has some truths to it.

If you sum of the rules of Alinsky, it would be "pick a fight on everything", "dont work with other to solve problems", "cast blame around as broadly as possible", "and dont love your neighbors". In essense dont work in good faith with anyone.

Jesus told us to "Love our neighbors". Whilst this be a quote from a great religious figure, I would hope even avowed atheists could get behind constructive problem solving and trying to fix things rather than break them, and get along in our societies.

So the reason why Hillary lost the election: Her Bachelors thesis on Alinsky contributed to her entire persona. That was the wrong guy for solving problems, it was the wrong guy for Chicago.

APOCALYPSEFUCK_is_ADORABLE says

Uber is a typical FUCK! EVERYONE! IN! THE! ASS! Silicon Valley race to dump the lie on the ASSHOLES! at the IPO

When you say it, it sounds much cooler; ThomasWong1986 used to say the same thing, albeit not specifically about uber.

APOCALYPSEFUCK_is_ADORABLE says

Take a cab and encourage the driver to flip the bird at Uber drivers with you while shouting "Travis sucks my dick! Hey!"

Yes Travis is much worse than the russian mobsters who bought most of the medallions in NYC with ill-gotten cash.

"No. You are, via trump and your tax dollars..."

I think you meant "we are" and "our tax dollars"
