    This just leads to the question of do we live in a real democracy. Democracy represents the majority of people yet as your numbers show, Hillary won the popular vote. On top of that, less than half of anyone that could vote did vote. Considering the numbers presented, the only point you're conveying is the electoral college is broken.
    The reason Donald Trump won in general was 2 things in terms of polling:
    1. Uneducated (In terms of no undergraduate education) White Males between the age of 18-35 broke records in voting
    2. Clinton supporters didn't go out to vote as they thought they had the election in the bag

    The reason Donald Trump won was because Hillary is corrupt as hell and Trump actually stood for change.
    I don't live in America so I get to laugh at everyone in the US, it's nice.

    Well, I wouldn't say the EC is broken really. It's was never supposed to always elect who the people wanted. The real question is, should we have a system that is meant to place a check on the people's voice in the first place?

    Also it's funny seeing Trump get voted in after seeing all the bias against him and all the hate towards Trump supporters.

    I'd argue this election shows the full extent of the power of media. Email allegations were held the entirety of the electoral process yet at the end, she was found to be innocent. The email server was ignorance of technology, no purposeful traitor-based acts. Also, on top of Media bias, the email revelation wasn't revealed until the weekend, the part of the week with the least media following. Donald Trump won because he's a populism xenophobe. He brought the worst out of people. He promised hatred towards things people feared (based on media by the way). He promised hatred towards Muslims, reinvigorating faith values, and overall supremacy towards those who preached their values yet went against Trump's supporters.
    You also seem to forget that although Hillary can be seen as corrupt... Trump might be worse in terms of not necessarily corrupt nature, but narcissism and exploitation of others.

    I mean out of all the things against Trump and all the things against Hillary there was a ton more stuff brought up about Trump and it was brought up way more frequently, I could go into more detail about this stuff but in the end It was Hillary's and the DNC's fault that Trump got elected.
    Glad it was Trump and not Hillary or I wouldn't be able to meme.

    I'm no Trump supporter but I'm glad Clinton didn't win. Her campaign and - some - of her supporters have been incredibly abusive to dissidents on the left, telling them to shut up and fall in line (otherwise SQUIRREL!). Now that the Clinton/Kaine ticket and the supporters of the establishment have been thoroughly humiliated there's a possibility for change. I don't know what the environment would be like for leftists/progressives had Clinton won but I'd imagine it'd be just as hostile as it is now, if not more so because of the relentless thought control bullsh*t from her people (Clinton is a progressive who gets things done... there is no such thing as corruption... #ImWithHer...) employed for a year and a half to get everyone to fall in line.

    I'm glad to be done with that crap.

    I love how nobody is talking about the fact that the Earth is literally ****ed now
    If Trump follows his word and rejects all of the Paris Summit Climate Change Agreements, it will be too late to change the course of climate change, regardless of who our next president is.
    The earth may be beyond help 4 years from now.

    Finally someone with brain cells on this thread.

    Gonna keep it sweet and short - Trump is a loss for the whole planet earth, not only b/c of climate change denial, but also b/c the guy is out of his ****ing mind. His supporters are out of control and are brainwashed to no end. Pence is a retarded homophobe and the cabinet is filled with pro-establishment politicians, some who call liberals "anarchists".

    Clinton might not be Bernie, but at least she is more experienced and clearly better than Trump. She supports NATO, democratic values and was backed by Sanders.

    I know I won't change anyone's mind, but remember, Trumpets, after a few years you will be crying like a child and wishing HRC won the election instead.

    Clinton, warmonger-er of the Middle East, and friend to Debbie Wasserman Schultz does not support "democratic values" lmao

    One day you will realize that both major parties are utter plutocratic garbage who serve no purpose other than to enforce a two party dictatorship at the expense of the middle class/working poor and those below. We ended up with Trump because a lot of them country bumpkins you love to make fun of hate that system (for a variety of reasons) and aren't cool, hip, EDUCATED, millennials like you and me who've got it all figured out and know that "Hill yes!" is the way to go!

    If Clinton was such a thoroughly rotten candidate that she got electorally blown out by a crazy neo fascist (and barely won the popular vote) then you know what, I think the honus is on HER and the PARTY rather than the "ignorant" voters to do better. See you in 2020.

    Democracy means getting things done in a civil manner.

    If you don't like the electoral college, work with Trump to change it.

    If you're worried about war, remember Russia actually wants to work with the U.S. now.

    If you're worried about Mexicans or your friends or whatever being deported, fight it with your democratically elected rep.

    If you're worried about 'social justice' you were screwed either way.

    If you actually want change, riots are the least effective way to do it.

    And if you're worried about the end of the world, I don't know what to tell you.

    Now please, if everyone could stop having a pity party and move the f*ck on? Your president elect has offered an olive branch and the chance to work with you for change. Don't smack it away then complain when he doesn't do what you want.
