Dear World, please don't blame most of us for President-elect Trump [View all]

The majority of U.S. citizens did NOT vote for Donald Trump; they voted for Hillary Clinton. However, thanks to our antiquated Electoral College voting system, which favors Republicans and their ilk, we are stuck with the world class asshole, moron, con-artist, and liar, Donald J Trump, as the President-elect.

Two fine Democratic candidates in the last 16 years have been denied the presidency despite winning the popular vote: In 2000, instead of Al Gore we got George W Bush who, along with his pal Dick Cheney, changed the entire global situation for the worse. Now in 2016, instead of getting a very capable Hillary Clinton, we get Donald Trump, a disgusting sociopath and bully. Figure that.

If it wasn't for the Electoral College system, we could very well have been celebrating the beginning of the upcoming 25th straight year.....and the beginning of the 7th straight term.....of Democratic presidents in this country. Just think how much more peaceful and prosperous the global situation would have been for everyone.
