Your reply was anything but clear. I have no idea what you meant by that. Nothing in my comment can be construed as whining. I am simply tired of misinformation being regurgitated as nauseam.
Who is denying you of your vote in this situation? What am I being dared to do, exactly?
You have not provided documentation. I have. Apparently you did not bother to read this link I posted earlier. As of today's update, Trump leads the popular vote by just over 700K, Trump 62,972,226 Clinton 62,277,750.

You can't seriously be using a WordPress site as your citation, can you? You and I both know that I don't REALLY have to Google this for you. Literally every news organization has the current numbers. If you would like links, I will gladly supply them.
Again, I am not disputing that Trump is our president. I am correcting your assertion that he won the popular vote.
But when you're voting for candidates, and you feel as though both candidates are essentially working for the same people, the vote doesn't actually matter. The reason the vote mattered this time was because someone the system DIDN'T choose had won the primary.My old man run for local council many years ago. He an I had a discussion about me being a young up-start and why I should never protest vote on a ballot paper.
He explain the protest voter problem to me in simple terms.
The old mans explanation went something similar to the following.
(I've changed the flavour of the story over the years) :
You are living in a small town of 10 people. The town has to vote for a new sanitary toilet system. 9 out of 10 people don't like the mayor. So 9 of the people wrote "stuff you" on the ballot paper. The 10th person (being the town drunk) walks in to vote and say he doesn't use toilets and votes "NO" on the ballot.
The towns folk never got their sanitation system because the majority proper/popular voter said "No" on the ballot.
In other words, 9 of the towns people left the entire sanitary voting choice up to one single person. And so, the town lays in it's own crap because they wrote crap on the ballot paper.
Instead of a protest vote, pick the lesser of two evils on the ballot paper, an avoid leaving the choice of running the country up to the inebriated socialites voters.
A personal protest vote means leaving your voting choice rest on the shoulders of someone else. Just be sure that choice doesn't rest on the shoulders of the wacked-out "Nuke-them-all political party."
In all honesty, I was going to try and start a "Vote For Pedro" campaign. But then Trump won the primary. I don't know if he'll do good or not, I just know he's not more of the same. So we'll wait and see.
Somewhere there is a tree working hard to produce oxygen for you to live, NOW GO APOLOGIZE TO IT!
From your link - "Clinton’s 671,066 popular vote margin across the entire country, 61,047,027 votes to Donald Trump’s 60,375,961 votes (according to Politico’s election results website as of Tuesday morning) arose from this huge advantage wracked up in these elite coastal counties."

The point is moot... Trump is our next President... period! Regardless, of popular vote or electoral vote... if you don't like it, too bad so sad. Obama has been our President for almost 8 years..... done in a little over a month.... but, time for a new one, that's it! If you need a cuddle-buddy, a dog to help you deal with it, I'm sure you can get in line with the rest of the weak- minded, cry baby, my feeling are hurt people that can't seem to deal with it ( give me a break). IT'S CALLED REALITY!!!!! I'm done with my rant and guess what... I don't care if I hurt any feelings... Now, that being said, I'm ready focus on more important stuff, like to go repair more copiers, printers and make them communicate with the networks and learn! On a lighter-side note, if you haven't seen George Carlin's rant on politics, I highly recommend it, a comedians point of view on politics...hmm, maybe he is on to something?
