The US population is 326,662,304

http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/

Twitlers total vote was 62,985,131 vs 65,853,652 for Hillary

43% is only 19.28% of the total US population. I just don’t see more people jumping on the Twitler train.

And based on those numbers 20.16% of us voted for Hillary.

And let’s not forget only 59.7% turned out to vote.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
