Unless the said system elects Trump, when we go on streets shouting “Not My President”

California didn’t elect Trump, we voted 75% for Clinton (or maybe it was 65%?, I don’t remember, but it was a good margin)

61.7%

 

Even California doesn't vote 75% for Democrats

Which is a good thing. At the national level it’s fine for our state to be dominated by one party, but if the state should ever break with the US, we need a diverse political spectrum.

US Government will never allow California to break off as independent

Last I checked California was still part of US. Trump is President of US and hence, President of California as well.

#NotMyPresident California is currently litigating hundreds of legal cases against the Trump administration. The minute he announces a policy, California has already launched a legal challenge.

Thank god I live in California. You sign up once online, and you’re good. No ID needed, no voter cards, no anything. Plus, I get 11 days to cast my vote. There’s almost never any lines at the polling places. I’m not taken off the voter roll simply for not voting in one election. There’s only ever one primary, and one general election in a given year. You’re not bound to vote by party (except in the presidential race now). I still contest the California is the greatest republic in the world

Thank god I live in Denmark. No signing up needed to get to vote  

 

Thanks God I live in Italy...No need to vote at all...

 

no matter what's the voting result, in any case politicians do whatever they want...and normally it doesn't reflect any hope, will, need of common people...
