"all the mime performances , poetry slams and dance offs in the world wont alter the balance of power and the "talents" of the affronted "artists" should be put to better use"

It may (and I stress "may") serve to energise the opposition for next time and for the midterm elections in two years. As for the electoral college, I would just get rid of it and replace with a simple, "whoever gets the most votes, win" system. It's more democratic in my view and Congress is there to represent the States.

In any event, thank you for voting for Clinton! Despite the results I still appreciate that you didn't vote for Trump.
