Was it the Left who mocked secessionist talk of Texas, Vermont, etc? If so, how hypocritical, no?

Either way, now it seems the Left-leaning state has actual ties with Russia.

Okay—we’ve all heard Democrats saying how Hillary Clinton got almost 3 million more popular votes than President-elect Donald J. Trump—and how that shows how he doesn’t have a mandate or something, despite him winning 306 Electoral College votes by winning the majority of the states, which is how we decide who will become the next president. I know most of you know that; it’s our progressive brethren who need a civics lesson. And you also know that if it weren’t for California, Clinton wouldn’t have won the plurality of the popular vote. Hence, this is why we don’t elect our next leader based on the popular vote since the liberal Northeast and California don’t represent the country. Liberals may convince of themselves that it is, but it’s not true. Never has been. John Merline wrote in Investors Business Daily that if you remove deep blue California, Trump would have won 1.4 million more popular votes that Clinton:

quote:

There were two Democrats — and zero Republicans — running to replace Sen. Barbara Boxer. There were no Republicans on the ballot for House seats in nine of California's congressional districts.

At the state level, six districts had no Republicans running for the state senate, and 16 districts had no Republicans running for state assembly seats.

Plus, since Republicans knew Clinton was going to win the state — and its entire 55 electoral votes — casting a ballot for Trump was virtually meaningless, since no matter what her margin of victory, Clinton was getting all 55 votes.

If you take California out of the popular vote equation, then Trump wins the rest of the country by 1.4 million votes. And if California voted like every other Democratic state — where Clinton averaged 53.5% wins — Clinton and Trump end up in a virtual popular vote tie.

Again, these math games don’t matter because Trump won. Period. But it also should give more weight to why an election system based on winning states, instead of popular votes is a better system to elect the president of the United States. So, if you really want to mess with liberals, just mention this statistic and see how they react, or you can just let them vent since they can’t do anything to stop the incoming Trump administration. It’s coming on January 20—and Hillary Clinton is never going to be president. That’s probably the best Christmas news this year.

In all, the Left’s obsession with the popular shows how they’re side simply, cannot take responsibility for nominating a terrible candidate. Trump has his flaws, yes—but at least the GOP didn’t nominate someone under an FBI criminal investigation. Clinton lost this election—and leaning on the popular vote as a crutch to say that she won is just an exercise in frivolousness.

Has anyone started a racist movement to take American territory for the Russian homeland, as alt leftists have done for Mexico?

Well, no. You should actually read the article, instead of just the headline. Not an official embassy.
And I doubt the majority of Californians support secession. It would be stupid.
On Texas, I say just let them go. In fact, vote to send them away. Several problems solved.
