All I can say is democrats should have gone with Beanie Sanderspinach. People don't harbor the deepened hatred for him that they do for Brococlinton. He would have won instead of Trumpiflower for sure.
People often cite "but the popular vote", particularly when they lose. Unfortunately, the popular vote is irrelevant--only the electoral vote matters. I have argued against the electoral college before--there is no reason why Cook County in Illinois (where Chicago is located) should swing the entire State but the system is what it is. An analysis of the county-by-county results show that this election, just like the ones in 2008 and 2012, highlight a disconnect between people in large cities versus people outside those cities. Most of New York, from a geographic point of view, voted Republican; however, because New York County outweighs the rest of the State all that matters is how New York City votes.
Trump earned 56.77% of the electoral votes, which does not qualify as a "landslide". I am not a fan of landslides, in any event--they tend to make people use the word "mandate" and nothing good every comes from mandates.
Sorry I'm late. I don't like any of the candidates so rolled a die. It was D3 so I rolled 3 times and got 666. Pretty sure that was a vote for Trumpflower.
I don't care who wins, I stand by my original post in this thread. Insurrection against the rotten vegetables above ground through clandestine underground garden plots. Broccolinton and Trumpflower are both symptoms of a two veggie political system, which is hardly a balanced diet.
I find the hate on facebook right now incredibly ironic. I even saw someone take back their prayers for Florida not to be hit by hurricane Matthew. A little extreme.
And all this time they were calling the Trumpiflower voters haters and sore losers.
Protesting a peaceful and lawful election because your candidate did not win is childish, no matter which side you are on or who your candidate might have been. I said the same thing eight years ago and four years ago yet now, apparently, I have to say it again. As I told Noty earlier this afternoon, let the haters hate but copy their posts now so that you may remind them of their words in the future when their candidate wins. Mature winners do not gloat and mature losers do not whine.
They can protest if they like. But ultimately, the protests will go nowhere, and they should go nowhere. If you didn't want Trump to win, you had a chance to stop him. I spoke out in favor of Hillary and I voted for her; those are the powers we have as citizens to influence our elections.
We had our chance. We had our vote. And we had our election.

Today is November 9. It's too late.
And unlike Trumpiflower and his supporters, that was Brococlinton's campaign message from the very beginning of this election: We will accept the voice of the people. She is trying to set an example to all of us to accept the election, and even called Trumpiflower to congratulate him on his victory in good modesty and sport.
As an American people, we should all follow the example she has set, and heed her advice to accept and support our new president, even if we don't like him.
It's time to stop being divided by hatred and party lines and build ourselves into something we can all be proud of.

That said, in the absence of good options, always pick the craziest one, it may yet surprise you
LET ME TELL YOU! I WON!
I'M THE MOST POWERFUL VEGETABLE IN THE WORLD!
...
And I did it, because you, the common root vegetables, voted for me...
...
I gotta tell ya... I thought it would take an army of corpulent corporate zombies to do it... But hell yeah! This uses less spell slots.
I await @Shandyr Broccoclinton to come to me and bow and kiss the ringed finger... I love a good conceding defeat celebration.
*waits patiently *
