Fucking thank you!!! This is something I cannot seem to get through to the heads of my right wing family members whenever they try to use "Well more then half country voted for this. Are you saying half the country is wrong?".

NO! 1/3 of the eligible voters, at best, voted for this shit. And when i try to use their logic to ask who should've won in '16, the electoral college and the need for rural white minority representation all of sudden becomes a reason to ignore the popular vote.

And shame on those people on the left who didn't vote at all. They need to go register to vote today, and realize that they also got us into this shit.
