Black Lives Matter activist and professional protester Deray Mckesson isn’t taking the election results well. That’s why, like so many other liberals, he’s opted to make up his own reality:
Why is it important to remember that HRC overwhelmingly won the popular vote? Because you then remember that we have the mandate, not them.

OK … wait, what?
Why is it important to remember that you won the popular vote? Because when you're at Walmart with fifty cents, then you can buy a Coke. https://t.co/fFwAEbbgnq

Deray may not be good for much, but at least he’s good for a chuckle — and a reminder about the importance of understanding basic civics.
There is no such thing as a presidential mandate. The Constitution gives every president the exact same powers. https://t.co/7U520R3Cwh

It is unimportant HRC won the popular vote given an EC w/the final decision. Accept that fact. You aren't going to change it.

@kinsellawarren really should study how USA government works

It’s not as if he’s got anything better to do.
If taken seriously, this tweet would mean @deray would stop pontificating after getting 3% in the Baltimore mayoral election. https://t.co/QL0EjrzkXf

Ha!
(Actually, it was more like two percent. But who’s counting?)
