Obama should just declare martial law at this point

[Deblano]

Obama should declare 55% martial law.

It's a good compromise. /s

If stopping Trump was this important why the heck did you vote for Gary Johnson?

So with what you're saying now, why is this stupid meme still in your signature?

You are either extremely stupid or just a really skilled troll.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

People have been worrying about him doing this for 8 years........never happened.  THANKS OBAMA!

[The Dowager Mod]

We have more cause to fear Donald Trump declaring martial law.

Yup

That's actually a cool map. It's too bad it has to have that nonsensical political message attached to it.

As I recall in 2008, except for 63 counties, independent cities, and DC, President Obama would have lost to John McCain. Those were the 63 most densely-populated counties and independent cities in America, and Obama won them as a group in landslides. Some were obvious, like the Boroughs of New York, San Francisco, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and counties including Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Miami,  Seattle, and Denver  -- but also some small cities in Virginia which somehow are independent of county government (like Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, and Harrisonburg)  Ne just baly lost the popular vote elsewhere.

Why should a rural vote count more than an urban vote?

1. I was admittedly overconfident of Hillary's victory.
2. I didn't vote in a state that was likely to decide the election.
3. I didn't anticipate approving of basically nobody in a Trump cabinet.

     I was thinking, that's more Wulfric's style. This is a rather new shtick for him.

You forfeited your right to complain, as did everyone else who didn't vote or voted for someone other than Hillary. Maybe this can be a lesson for all of you.

Oh, this old tripe again.  I'm sure the people in hell think it's someone else's fault too.  If only they had done everything perfectly in hindsight, they'd be strumming their harps with Concentrated Perfection like you.

Yeah, tell me about it. A few delicate snowflakes didn't only screw themselves, but the whole country world. On the bright side, they probably won't make the same mistake again in 2020. It will turn out to be a great wakeup call to a whole generation.

The heck? He voted against Trump! Someone forfeits their right to complain if they don't vote, not if they vote but not in a manner that you personally find strategically sound.

False. Wulfric wanted Hillary to beat Trump but was just a little too cool to vote for her himself. He wanted to mooch off everyone else, to have his cake and eat it too, and he got burned for it.

[emailking]

False. Wulfric wanted Hillary to beat Trump

So what? I assume he wanted Johnson to beat both of them.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Actually in America we have this cool thing where we aren't North Korea, so there's no way to lose the right to complain about the government.

In this case, the assumption is correct.

Agreed. I was trying to meet him halfway.

     This is the mature way to look at it. Ignoring other people's concerns because you don't like the way they voted is counterproductive to developing any kind of a solution and just annoys people. Unless your goal is just to hold it over everyone's head and say how much better you are, it's ultimately pointless.

LOL of course people can vote however they want, but don't expect any sympathy when whining about the result you helped bring on.

You're still not getting it. You don't help to bring on somebody by voting against them.

Here's another way of looking at it. Did you vote for Hillary? If so, you helped Trump win by not voting for Jonson! Is that silly? Of course it is. But it's the same as the argument you're putting forward.
