Something that's rigged worse than a carnival dart game.
That dick didn't even win the popular vote, but won the election.

Third-wave antiracist social justice warriors that take themselves too seriously and believe their cause is important enough that it warrants hurting other people, and sometimes destroying their lives, over even the smallest political correctness faults, especially on Twitter. The term was coined by Joseph Bottum and popularized by John McWhorter.
"We will term these people The Elect. They do think of themselves as bearers of a wisdom, granted them for any number of reasons—a gift for empathy, life experience, maybe even intelligence. But they see themselves as having been chosen, as it were, by one or some of these factors, as understanding something most do not." -- John McWhorter
A cultural event indigenous to New Hampshire.

A lot of people in this country went out and voted on election day. All that effort they put into what they did is (always) at risk of being turned into bullshit (despite claims about the whole thing being a democratic process), which is why some people don't vote, they have a good reason not to.
What's the point of an election if the people who hold power don't have any regard for what everybody else in the country wants to happen? That's a king, not a president. Why call it anything else? Why deceive people who went out and voted? The founding fathers were slaveowners, not one of the rest of us. Not every Confederate statue that was removed was a slaveowners, the enlisted members of the Confederate military were just regular poor or middle class guys who went into the military to fight someone else's war, they weren't fighting to support slavery, the South was their home. Removing a statue because it was a Confederate is as ignorant as removing a statue because it's a statue of a black guy. Civil rights leaders weren't perfect people either, they were as human as anybody else (and as inhuman as anybody else).
A primary candidate's ability, as perceived by a political party's ideological base, of having the best chance of later winning in the general election.
Many Democratic primary voters voted for John Kerry in 2004 because they believed he was the only candidate with enough electability to be able to beat Republican George W. Bush in the Presidental Election.
