It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

Your butthurt makes me feel alive

The Young Turks just can't stop crying lol.

It's gonna be amusing to see all the sadfaces at Clinton News Network

I mean did you hear her? "Did you think I was fiery here, just wait!"

I think Ana might legitimately kill herself. We should probably put the entire staff of TYT on suicide watch.

Young turds can **** off.

So this makes the 4th time in U.S. history that the winning president received less popular votes than their opponent.

I trust that your figures are right. Though this is the first time in history where it was SUPER FUNNY that it happened and people literally cried. I'm not even making a joke here, people were in actual tears, I've seen the videos.

Watching adults cry over politics is especially funny. Though I must confess I also underestimated how hilarious the celebrity butthurt would be.

Lady Gaga protesting outside of Trump Tower..bless her heart, she feels people care what she thinks, it's sooo cute.

1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016. The 1888 one was the worst by ratio--50.4% of the popular vote but 58.1% of the electors.

The electoral college is just the worst idea.

I know, who knew a bunch of elitist dicks who created this system would have it eventually end up biting them in the ass?

Damn, this is the burn that never stops burning, it defies time and space. Even people long dead can't escape it.

Not just the elitists (of whom Trump is one who benefited, BTW. Bush as well) but the idea of democracy. That the electors aren't even legally bound to vote for who their state's majority chose is another WTF.

Word of advice: do NOT donate any of it to the Clinton foundation.

Isn't the electoral college just the consequence of an archaism that was never overturned?

Yup. And it's had some serious modern day consequences.

Yeah, it's not like politics have serious real-world consequences that affect countless people, lol.
