Who cares, trump won with fewer votes than Romney lost with. He lost the popular vote.
Let's make this us vs them and let demographics win.
Except Hillary won the popular vote, so...

Those two things aren't even remotely the same but ok
They probably didn't even vote......I mean 50% of America didn't even bother
I'm talking about the people in the cars lol

protesting trump doesn't mean they don't accept the result.
Guess they didn't care to listen to Hillary's concession speech. This is exactly what she said not to do.

They are the same people in both instances was my point.

Good. This is what we need. Everyday, every step in the way. We need to resist.

Geez between this and Brexit, it almost feels like we need the election equivalent of buyer's remorse.

Citizens protesting = bad

So if Trump won the popular and Hill the electoral you'd say the same thing?

Should've voted.
Can't believe the comments in this thread. Accept the election already and such non-sense. This is EXACTLY what this country needs. It's only a protest at this point but widespread contempt for the bullshit we just saw is how movements get started. And movements could lead to revolution and a chance for actual meaningful change!
MARCH MARCH MARCH! God speed you protesters.

What makes you think they didn't.
She should have did it last night instead of when everybody was at work. A lot of us didnt listen to her speech for that reason.

There's some activity going on downtown Seattle right now too I believe.

Given demographics and how vote is divided, this is impossible.

I'm just talking in general. If 50% of the registered voters didn't vote, then at least some of them especially in NYC may not have voted.

I'm seeing protest flyers all around my campus for 3 PM tomorrow. Who knows how big it'll be.
Who is saying they didn't also do that?

the people protesting right now are Hillary supporters.. as far as i know i haven't seen any or enough voter remorse among Jill Stein/Gary Johnson voters to have made the difference.

You realize where these protests are happening, right?
Hint: not Michigan.
Keep it up. Nothing more cloying and stupid than calls for unity after an election, especially this one.

They're protesting in blue areas I mean what's the point? Why don't next time you all fucking stop laughing at memes for a minutes, get your ass actually informed and involved and join one of the two major parties and let go for a minute your fantasy eutopian dreams of a third party and change the ones we have. Republicans didn't like the last 8 years either and they did something about it. Do something about it.
Democrats don't seem to want to listen to her. At least they didn't when she explained the imperative of voting down this shit we're in.

What movement is going to come from this?

But the electoral college which has chosen almost every president disregards that. The Federalist founding fathers (except Jefferson and Madison) understood the system.
People doing this are only agitating the situation.

Man, if those colonials hadn't protested King George III, where would you be?

Were those stats only from Michigan? Legit question, not sarcasm.

They certainly have the right to protest, but I maintain that it's an enormous waste of energy. Save it for when Congress is voting to make abortion illegal. Then, your protest will have at least the theoretical opportunity to change outcomes.

yeah like getting a majority vote for the candidate you want
Activists are most likely to vote.

Good, people should protest if they're upset. It's a bit late now, but we need to show our discontent. I saw them heading up to Trump Tower while I was out.
