Oh good, another raging Leftist pretending that the popular vote matters in the Senate … good ol’ Amanda Marcotte decided to throw her ‘popular vote’ opinion into the fray.
Lucky us.
Republicans lost the popular vote in Senate races by over 15 percentage points, but still gained two seats. https://t.co/TFVdDGIiat
Our country is not a democracy.

Hey, look! She got something right, we’re not a Democracy.
Of course, she didn’t mean to get that right, she was making a dig at the country, but we’ll take what we can get.
Dear Democrats,
The Senate represents the states.
Not the people.
So babbling about the popular vote means jack and squat.
xo,

Civics. Learn it, know it, love it.
Also, there is what’s called MATH:
Everyone understand how dumb of an argument this is, right? Democrats had 26 seats up. GOP has 6. Of course there were more votes for Dems because MORE OF THEM WERE UP FOR RE-ELECTION. Holy moly. Basic civics, people. https://t.co/dwtT3apWdW

Holy moly indeed.
Also because Dems had more seats up, they won more statewide races. THIS IS NORMAL AND HOW MATH WORKS. There is no “national” vote for Senate seats. Good lord.

But math is sexist or something. Patriarchy?
I always thought we were a Constitutional Republic.

We are.
Don’t expect them to figure that out.
Instead of finally grasping why we have the electoral college they’ve devolved into whining about “(senate/house) popular vote”.
Next they’ll argue the World Series should be total runs scored in 7 games, not who wins more games.

Don’t give them any ideas.
