The system, former Bernie or Bust voters, the Democratic Party's internal drama, Komy, etc... all had a hand in Trump's win.
I personally place most of my blame on the EC, it's an unneeded system that has lead to the loser of the Popular Vote (You know, the part that should matter) to win multiple times. (Trump is currently the 5th person to get away with this)
This seems like a fair assessment. I have never liked the EC, personally, and have always though it should go. The people should choose who the President is. That way your vote will actually matter.
Hence why people are protesting in such large numbers.
A racist, inept, sex criminal who ran as a joke was able to win control over the most powerful county on the planet, even though the majority of votes show that the population didn't want him in power. Anti-EC sentiment has been building for years now, and I think Trump's win is what it took to pop the top off.
Also, heads up, NSG doesn't have thread ownership.
