You really need to checks your facts Jack. Perhaps your sources as well. Maybe then you'll change some of your opinions. At least when it comes to Obama. I don't care how much Trump won by. He won and is President.

Barack Obama won the 2008 Presidential Election with 52.9% of the popular vote.

Barack Obama 69,498,516 Democratic Joe Biden
John McCain 59,948,323 Republican Sarah Palin

Barack Obama won the 2012 Presidential Election with 51.1% of the popular vote.

Barack Obama 65,915,796 Democratic Joe Biden
Mitt Romney 60,933,500 Republican Paul Ryan




Barack Obama won the election in 2008 with 365 electoral votes.

Barack Obama 365 Democratic Joe Biden
John McCain 173 Republican Sarah Palin

Barack Obama won the election in 2012 with 332 electoral votes.

Barack Obama 332 Democratic Joe Biden
Mitt Romney 206 Republican Paul Ryan

I post this fact because I also pointed it out after the Obama Election, where he won by about 310,000 votes - or less than a tenth of a percent of the population.


Donald Trump won 304 Electoral Votes.
If he had 10,705 less votes in Michigan, he would have failed to garner those 16 Electoral Votes.
If he had 44,293 less votes in Pennsylvania, he would have failed to garner those 20 Electoral Votes.
Without those 36 Electoral Votes, his total would have been 268 Electoral Votes, and the Presidential race would have been decided by the House of Representatives, where Trump was despised by the GOP.

So Trump won by 54,998 votes.

I gotta go with Assange here. Trump most likely won in a landslide, 59%:41%, and Sanders as well 64%:36%; and Sanders would've defeated Trump 54%:46%.

One could argue that all day, but the fact that everything online predicted this, outside mainstream media with it's cherrypicked 700 people surveys, isn't the point, nor is the point the legitimacy of Trump's presidency or Hillary's campaign.

The point is this:

Our democracy is screwed, and not because of the Russians. if we care about the future, we have to do something about this, or we'll soon find ourselves with random appointees selected by coporate voting machines and nothing else.

Just let me enjoy the next 4-8 years where the white male American isn't the most despised person on the planet. I'm sure we'll pick up right where we left off when Michelle Obama is our first female president.

They already pick em for us. I'm only really half interested just because sports and fantasy football don't do it for me.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Ya think you'll get that, eh?

Don't know if you noticed, but they're already building a pillory and a gallows for people who post stuff like that.
