if only we could bring over 3 million illegal Russian, Polish, and Bulgarian immigrants and allow them to vote and he would have won the popular vote also. Hey it worked for you all with illegal Mexicans and felons......so
There is no way of telling who would have won a popular election. Only 55% of the eligible population voted this year. The electoral college system was in place on election day this year and that influenced turnout to some degree.
Trump supporters in California had no incentive to vote knowing the State would go to Clinton. In my own case I ended up voting for Johnson because I KNEW Tennessee would go for Trump. If I had ANY doubt I would have voted for Trump.
How many didn't vote because they are in a State dominated by one party or the other?
I am in a state dominated by the left party, but I still went out and voted for Trump. Consider it an exclamation point to the giant "F U!" to the elite establishment pukes.
Besides, you never know...and many in states that have been blue for a long time, states the Dems consider a "blue wall", got up and voted, and it DID make a difference.
Never say "I'm not going to bother" just because your state may be blue, or has been blue for a long time. (Or red, for that matter, to Dems.) You never know just how much your vote can actually make a YUUUUGE difference.

The problem is is us on the left don't want right wing policies shoved down our throats just because Drumpf won the electoral college, which favors backwoods right wing states

The Democrats are now the party of elite globalists who despise the white working men who made up their base.
They want to create a giant Third World plantation and get rid of whitey -- who is too uppity for them.
Both of you are exactly right, I also knew a large number of Democrats who voted for Trump because they were sick of the elitism and pay to play corruption that was so closely linked with the Clintons. Hillary made it clear that she was not on the side of working Americans when she backed a further expansion of the corrupt, terrible abused H-1B visa program (and the L-1). The H-1B in practice has been used by globalist crony capitalists to push Americans out of jobs and replace them with imported cheap labor from India, pushing down wages for everyone and wasting American's hard work and effort with fake job ads
Not to mention that Hillary was supporting the TPP while pretending to oppose it (Obama planning to give her an assist by passing it in his lame duck session) and taking billions from Wall Street to screw American workers further. The irony his Hillary got a warning shot from Bernie Sanders who addressed these very issues, and made clear that Americans would be deciding based on them. She and her staff decided not to listen, to keep cozying up to Barbara Streisand, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and the rest of the privileged arrogant Hollywood and Silicon Valley set, and ignore the needs of the people. Trump actually made an effort to talk to the people. This is he's the one who'll be entering the Oval Office.

Well, now Hillary is joining Jill Stein in asking for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
I think that's good.
We'll be able to find out how many dead people and illegal aliens voted for Hillary -- as well as people who were bused in from other states to vote for her a second time and other people who voted for her multiple times!
