For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Fine.
It was wrong for me to say that and I apologize. I'm just very unhappy right now and I fear what could happen to my boyfriend.

I hear Hillary's popular vote lead is now 240,000 up from 175,000. Time to rethink this system.
No other country operates with a system like this. People may complain this would give cities too much power though.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Considering the total votes cast, that difference is statistically insignificant.
While I'm not a fan of the current setup, if they removed the 2 that each state gets for just being a state, I wouldn't have a problem with it.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I guess better wording would be is that most don't operate like this.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Instead (simply said) we vote for the parties seats in the Bundestag (i.e. the parliament)
which every party gets which passes 5% (or gets a direct mandate via a second vote each voter has)
And the Bundestag is the body which finally elects the Chancellor of the BRD.
Much better IMHO as the election isn't centered so much on a single person as in the elections in the USATamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

The lead may grow to 1.2-1.5 million and that is slightly more significant.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
