What a horrible analogy. Bigly horrible.
Not really. It's pretty spot on. You can have double the amount of pieces, it doesn't matter if you're in checkmate.

I know, a lot of liberals are practicing unnecessary self-shame right now. Pretty lame.
They're the smart ones, who are trying to separate themselves from the loons like yourself. It's what most Libs should be doing, if they ever want to see their team in the White House again.
The crux of the election was the white working class, particularly in the rust belt. I'm tired of the baseless assertion of "PC has run amok, version #865" acting as confirmation bias.
bah humbugLet's just say you're both wrong. Merry Christmas!
When I'm looking at that swing, I don't think of it in terms of being a photo finish, as priors suggest she had a small but decent lead across those states. So rather than any small factor making the difference in a coin flip, to me it's more about the 2-3% pull away from the democrats that happened in each state. Your opinion of the Comey circus being the factor that pushed the line down seems reasonable and I've heard it from several people who know a lot more than I do, but it's not clear whether that impact had more to do with the news itself, or low confidence in Clinton, as she was quite vulnerable. Maybe the conditions that caused her vulnerability are more important.
I agree super strongly with the uncertainty. I genuinely wonder, if we conducted a presidential election at noon, and then another at noon the next day, would there be 1-2% swings or would it look nearly the same? This is unclear. And the large number of undecided voters this year complicates it even more. I felt like the 2012 election was really straightforward by comparison, but I didn't know as much back then and might have gotten lucky.Could be.
The problem with trying to understand politics is that there is so much information and so few tests that you can justify almost any take if you try hard enough, and anyway everyone has an opinion and few even feel the need to justify them.

Yeah, that's pretty much the opposite of my thinking, but it would be better than the current system, which is supposed to be democratic but allows for quirky outcomes that reflect neither the will of the people nor the preferences of the best.
Trump is the anti-establishment voice. People are seriously sick of the Clintons and the Bush's.
The masses will come out in droves to vote for him. He is a lock as far as Im concerned to be POTUS. Hillary is a total lying cunt, and everyone knows it. It's a vote between more of the same fucking bullshit, or something different, not sure in reality what that difference will be but if iots somehow worse then teh status quo, it's only 4 years of it.
I am in it for the lulz, and teh Tostito's wall lmao.
No, they won't. They already haven't. He can't even win a single majority within the GOP.
Then you should simply draw us the board showing the tally, Mr. Russert.
You're an idiot.
If you don't realize we don't live in a democracy, they you have no right to talk about the electoral college.
Yes, which is kinda silly when you call the basic rules a technicality. The EC isn't some obscure rule trotted out in some trick play. It's the name of the game. Bemoaning it after the fact is just sour grapes.
Pissum Jenkins, the epitome of SORE LOSER. Look son, Hillary lost, the left is obsolete. All your self hating white friends, all your BLM thuggies, all your SJW and cucklords out there going the way of the Dodo. Who the fuck wants to pander to a bunch of circus freaks? LOL.Winning on a technicality. Exactly my point.
