Lets fix this???
#NotMyPresident
The electoral college does not vote until December 19th. We have 40 days.
What does this mean?
Right
now, the presidential election results are only a PROJECTION of the
election outcome. They are PRELIMINARY RESULTS. A candidate still needs
to earn 270 electoral votes to win. Hillary Clinton won the popular
vote, which means that more than 50% of the voters wanted her for
president. The electoral college shouldn’t guarantee an override of the
public’s opinion– and it doesn’t have to.
There are 21 states that do NOT restrict which candidate the electors vote for. Out of these 21, Hillary lost the following:
These
states are worth 166 electoral votes. As it currently stands, Hillary
Clinton is projected to receive 232 votes. Trump is projected to win
306. This means that 37 votes need to be taken away from Trump to bring
him down to 269. Hillary Clinton needs 38 votes ADDED to win 270. These
electoral voters can also abstain, which means that they can refuse to
vote for either candidate. If 37 of the voters within these states
abstain then no candidate will have reached the required 270. In this
case, the vote would be taken to the House.
Trump won
Pennsylvania, a state that typically votes blue, by less than 100,000
votes. While it is highly unlikely to get all 20 electoral voters to
cross party lines and vote democrat, it also isn’t impossible to
convince a few of them to be “faithless electors.” We only need to
convince 38 out of the 166. That is 23%. There are SIXTEEN states we
need to focus our attention on.
A move like this would
be unprecedented. However, as we all saw on November 8th, odds don’t
guarantee reality. Trump had a less than 20% chance of winning, yet
given the circumstances, enough people came together and made it happen.
We can make this happen.
Ask yourself this: What do we
have left to lose? We can stay complacent and accept that this country
will be run by a racist, sexist, islamophobic, homophobic, ablest bigot,
or we can at least try.
How?
SPREAD THE
WORD. Trend #NotMyPresident to let people know that we do not accept
being led by a man who does not care about our wellbeing. Email your
professors, email the dean of your colleges. The last thing a university
wants is negative press. Millenials can take a stand, but that doesn’t
mean we have to be the only ones. Church-led events helped bring a lot
of disillusioned voters to the polls. Spread the word in any way
possible, whether it be on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or even in person.
Stage a peaceful protest. Hand out flyers. Let the people around you
know that you don’t accept this man as your leader when he won’t even
accept you as a citizen with your designated rights.
These 166 people need to face the consequences of electing this man.
Do
this for the people who couldn’t vote. Do this for the people who live
in the very real fear of being deported. Do this for the people who will
have to face the rise in hate crimes. Do this for the people who have a
very real possibility of losing their rights. Do this for the people
who will no longer be able to afford necessities.

FRAUDS, Fucks, and LOSERS
The republicans lust for power is forcing them to vote for frump even if
they think he's unqualified and even dangerous. They see no big deal
because they believe they'll keep the Senate majority and will have free
reign to do anything and everything to our Democracy their evil hearts
desire. THAT, my friends, is petrifying...Social Security is at risk,
Obamacare is at risk, our national security is at risk, your taxes are
at risk, our environment is at risk, clean energy, clean air, clean
water as a RIGHT NOT PRIVILEGE is at risk...
republicans are the Un-Patriotic America hating FRAUDS!!!

7 more days..YES WE CAN!!!
We will win this, right?? Hillary will beat that orange fat bastard and we'll never have to hear his name again. Hopefully he will fade away to Russia because his brand in the USA will die a slow death. He destroyed himself, he has nobody to blame but himself. Acting like a grade schooler, just hideous!!!
I live in South Jersey and can't tell you how disgusting it is around here with trump love! I'm surrounded by trumpsters and fight off their hideous lies and conspiracy theories towards Hillary every day on facebook!! People I've known forever have lost their minds and support that orange fuckface. Family has turned their backs on me because of my support for Hillary, this will be a very uncomfortable Christmas holiday season for sure. But I have my husband, kids, and Amelia. They are all I need.
7 more days and the country full of morons will watch Hillary's landslide win. It will be just as delicious as Barack Obama's 2 wins. Finally a woman president. Did you see Trumpland, Michael Moore's movie? You know he loves Bernie, but he's desperately trying to tell America we NEED to defeat trump. Please watch it if you haven't yet, it was excellent.
What a year, huh? 7 more days and we can relax....uh no, not really. We're not that delusional. Hillary and Bill will move into the White House and the GOP will immediately begin their investigations. It'll be worse than what they did to Obama. Don't be shocked if those cretins start impeachment hearings in her first term. The hate runs deep and it stinks to high heavens. I hope to god Democrats rise up and remove the swine for Congress, we can at least hope we get back the Senate majority. There are more Democrats registered in this country, when are we gonna show our power at the polls?? State and local races are just as important as president! I voted a few weeks ago, STRAIGHT BLUE!!! Lets vote people, lets give Hillary ALL the support she DESERVES!!!
