I find it rather interesting that decades ago women marched for their right to vote. Then last week women marched to protest the rights of women who voted for Trump.
Ladies, this was a legitimate election; as legitimate as Obama's nomination over Hillary in 2008 at least. So, suck it up buttercups. If you want the right to vote in a democracy, you have to accept what the result of that vote says.
And, why aren't you protesting the losses down-ticket in the collective thrashing your party just got? Why just Trump? I think I know the answer to that: if you did, you'd be acknowledging it was a flaw in your platforms that put Trump where he is. And that would water-down your hatred of him as not quite as legitimate as you want it to be. Own your mistakes democrats. Maybe Obama shouldn't have done an EO forcing schools to let deranged boys use girls' showers & bathrooms....for example...
A quick recap on the electoral college. It exists and was put in place precisely so that certain populated states cannot overween power over less populated states. The Founding Fathers knew about how big cliques tend to turn into fascists/activists at the expense of the rest of the country. They didn't want that tendency to bleed over into the results of a national election.
And with California's fruit & nut values, I think we can safely say "wisely so"...
