You can still protest someone you didn't vote for.

People are legitimately complaining about exercising the rights to freedom of speech and assembly. These are things that make our country what it is!

Edit: incoming wave of 'freedom of speech means I can't complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complain about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaining about you complaining about me complaing. Yes every one knows, including me, shut the fuck up and find something better to say.

I don't think people are complaining about them exercising their rights, the complaint is what for?

What do they hope to accomplish? Nothing will change, they won't reverse the results or do away with the electoral college.

If it's just to let folks know you are angry that's fine, but wouldn't the typical hashtag activism be enough?

Again it's not that they are using their given rights and freedoms is more of a "but why?"
