In every way.

What a fake democracy we have. Accepting an electoral college vote disproportionate to a high popular vote for Hillary is hugely undemocratic.

I mean the 1% undecideds who flipped their votes either for tRump or didn't vote for Clinton one week before the election. The M$M had it in their interests to play up her server as damaging news, play up Wikileaks as damaging news, play up the rehashing of nothing new with the FBI re-release of nothing new days before the election, because they had to slow down Clinton from running away with the election and nobody therefore interested in tuning in to see a horse race and watching ads. It worked. Just enough people decided the election in a catastrophic failure for our nation.

Those undecideds need to lean from the mistake they made. The rest of us and those who think like us but didn't vote, need to vote overwhelmingly every coming election, if there will be any more elections, that is. Our future isn't guaranteed at this point.
