    When will you drooling idiots understand? The popular vote doesn't mean jack shit in a presidential election.
    Get the fuck over it, your candidate/platform/platitude/promise sucked ass and your team lost.

    Electoral votes matter, nothing else does.

    Straw man. They do understand that the popular vote does not by itself win elections, but it's still reasonable to point out that Trump lost the popular vote because so many idiots are talking about how people he is/was.
