Anyone else tired of people pretending “the American people elected trump”, completely ignoring the fact the majority did not want him...and the majority by 3 million votes..
No one can take the win away from him, but you trumpettes so none of those statements that pretend the American people wanted are even remotely accurate.. trump supporters do not get to pretend the average American wanted him or supports him, because the average American hates his guts, and his supporters are not the average Americans..
Trump supporters are the minority... and the minority by a fair amount..

The majority of Americans didn't vote for either one of them.
Period.
Correct. In California alone in 2016 they had a population of over 39 million. Only 1/3 of that population - 13 million individuals actually voted.
Haven't checked other liberal strongholds but I imagine it will be similiar. I wonder if more will step up and actually vote come 2020 since they are tired of hearing this popularity rhetoric? Those that don't like any of the candidates proffered should just write their own name in and send a message to politicians...mainly that 'they still have a voice as an American citizen'. We may be surprised how many politicians are even more unpopular than they realize.
How do you know?
Every State had people who voted for Trump and for Clinton.
(Or against Trump or against Clinton as the case may be.)
When someone says “Clinton got 3 million more votes than Trump.” that is a true statement.
Why does it bother you guys so much?

A very small minority voted for Trump. The racist self serving minority.

Exactly, so theoretically, Hillary could have won the popular vote by tens of millions of votes if all eligible voters in Cali and NY actually voted and STILL LOST. Kinda funny when you think about it.
You can’t say that the 3,000,000 vote difference came from New York and California any more reliably than I can say it came from AL, GA and TN (where Clintons totals were 3,478, 205).

Thanks. If I can make it in time and don't have to fight 20,000 people, I'll get some pictures and share them on here.
