Hey Hey Hey
Dumb as a skunk....3 million more Americans voted for her! Your socialism mantra is just an alt right key word. Even Bernie, the only declared socialist does not reject capitalism.
That is irrelevant. Remove NY and Cal heβs up 1 mil. The way it works with winner takes it all, the only relevant states are 3 or 4 swing states. Those that are in the Red camp, he took his message, but he focused his resources on the swing and never bothered with the strong Blue states! His team, headed by Jared Kushner, used the ROI approach and invested where there was payback! It worked!
Given the divisiveness of the race, the Blue states had high turn out for Hillary and low Republican turn out. But it mattered not.
If America was a PR system, electioneering would have been different!
NY and CA are part of the grand old USofA so why should they be removed? All states are relevant. It so happens the states you speak of are proportionately more dense with older white folks who have an anxiety about being replaced by immigrants. Fortunately these older folks are balanced by younger ones who do not feel the same way and they are the balance. As the founders would have it, the nation is composed of competing factions so it balances out. Georgia, Az, New Mexico Nevada etc are neutralizing the disproportionate ability of these few states to shape the presidency. America's electoral system worked as designed and the anomaly is not the system but the unfortunate product it delivered up this time. But the system autocorrects.
