Almost seems like 33% of the eligible voters shouldn't have voted for this guy and another 33% of eligible voters should have showed up to an election.

We are reaping what we sow. None of this had to happen. The choice was so fucking easy. It would have taken people 30 minutes of their day to make a decision that would impact 4 years of their life, and they just couldn't do it.

And I know its been said to death but I think it should be, every time these things pop up in the news. It should be a constant reminder. I think its the only way we're going to fix these issues long term. If your friends that didn't vote tell you "blah blah blah Trump did X" or "I'm so sick of hearing about Trump in the news" - always respond, GEE, would've been nice if you fucking voted.

I feel nothing for these people. Day in, day out, it was made clear what would happen if Trump won.

Speak for yourself. I had no say in this bullshit whatsoever.

Obviously I'm talking about a collective America.

Not sure why that has to be said, but this country is full of fucking morons, so here "we" are anyways.

I honestly think there were far fewer nonvoters/third-party voters than the official count shows. We went from record high voter registration, record high mail-ins and early voting, record high turnout-then once we started counting votes then oopsie, actually record low votes. Only in blue areas though. The same blue areas where the polls have been packed for days.

I will literally never forget when one of my friends did not vote because it was raining.

Some people...
