Hillary Clinton won this election by about 3 million votes, and yet we are stuck with a tyrant because of the mistakes of 70,000 or so deceived Rust Belt victims. We could have had an intelligent, capable, experienced, compassionate, dedicated, moderate president, who would have acted on the actual concerns of ALL the people INCLUDING those in the Rust Belt; instead we are enslaved to the worst and most extremist "president" in our history, concerned only with himself; in order to protect the interests of 1789 slaveowners, and to allow a minority party to keep giving us the worst presidents in our history to benefit the 1%. There is no argument left for the electoral college at all. This is not some kind of fluke, like in the year 2000. This is a huge, indelible, creepy stain, both on the peculiar institution and on America.

We are stuck with it because of the greedy slaveowners who now rule Amerikkka. The only issue is what we do from here. There are only two answers. Resist, or leave. If you don't think the concerns of 9 million Californians matter, and those of 70,000 deceived voters in the Rust Belt are the only ones who do matter, that attitude is a good recipe for secession. Only 32% of California voters wanted the Drumpenfuhrer. We voted that way to send a powerful message. Message sent. We repudiate the Drumpenfuhrer, and he is not our president. We reject the CEO of America Inc.

I've never owned a slave or employed a slave or seen a slave during our lifetime. We heard you, Clinton won California by the same amount of votes as she's winning the popular vote. I feel for you. I felt the same way about Obama. I never viewed Obama as being my president either.
