One of the proudest votes I have ever made in my life...

...was my vote for Hillary Clinton for President.

I will not meet them "half-way" in their pursuit of a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, vulgar, indecent society. It is up to them to change the way they think about the majority of Americans - those that voted for Hillary Clinton for President.

According to our own Declaration of Independence, no leader can have "legitimacy" without the "consent of the governed". At this time, Donald Trump does not have the "consent of the governed". It is up to him to show that he is inclusive and is a President of all the people. Until that happens, he is no more a legitimate leader of this country than you or I.

Up to this point, it appears that he has no intent to bring the country together. His plan is to govern by division and tweets.

A lot of people who didn't are now pissed off about the result. If they would have showed up at the polls we would now have our first female President instead of Trump.
