Well, sure, the rights of the minority should be protected from the tyranny of the majority, but that's also different from the minority being allowed to dictate the majority? I mean, this is why we dispensed with aristocracies and absolute monarchies too, right?

This was a GOOD thing by the way since it decreased representation in Southern states.

True, it did feature language that gave some people more representation than others.  It also allowed for people to own other people.  And their "property" got 3/5ths representation even.  We have moved on since then. 
 
* Ok, this was a really low blow, I acknowledge that.  Sturgeon can handle it, he's a tough old hombre.  
 
 
 
As to why people might think Trump is racist...

Donward and I probably disagree on just about everything in regards to politics.  However, I think we both would be on board a Kirk for President campaign.  Just as long as it was Shatner Kirk and not that new guy.  

No charisma, establishment candidate much like Hillary etc.

I do have friends who did analytics for the Hillary campaign (they also worked for Obama's campaigns) and they agree that the game was the DNC's to lose, and that they should not have picked Hillary (or Kaine, for that matter)

 

Now that El Presidente Trump has been elected, I figure I should prepare for Imperator Vladimir I's Second Great Northern War



 

Kaine didn't seem to bring any demographic or ideological group closer to Clinton's campaign. He didn't even seem to be too helpful in Virginia. 
 
Many seem to think that Pence's credibility among many conservatives helped them vote Trump or something along those lines. 

I know you're not thrilled with the outcome, but I think this is a silly thing to say, not the least reason for which is because the popular vote count hasn't been finalized yet and is very close.
But, also, because democracy is one abstract system for selecting rulers or policies, and the electoral college is another. Direct democracy is not "morally right" any more than the college is, and the people chosen by direct democracy are no more anointed by God than those chosen by the college.
Throw in the corruption in the Democratic primary, the possibility of large-scale DNC-backed voter fraud initiatives, and Hillary's incredibly low numbers relative to Obama in '08 and '12, and I really don't feel comfortable crowning her "the people's candidate".

I'm kind of worried about Trump's environmental policies, since he apparently is going to appoint a climate skeptic to the EPA

When candidates are able to win despite having fewer votes than their opponent, democracy is already fucked.  I say fill the god damned streets with people.

Regardless of what happens, we can always be thankful for the memes

TIL sturgeon is a closet weaboo and/or fan of shitty rebranded Glock clones.

And already the democratic establishment is trying to blame everybody but themselves. It's not the third parties fault, it's not Bernie's fault, this is squarely on the shoulders of Hillary Clinton and the DNC. They picked a status quo establishment politican to fight a populist in a time of economic turmoil, when has that ever worked?
But they didn't learn from 2000 or 2004, so I don't expect them to learn now.
