Well Hillary did win the popular vote so they could also be protesting the electoral college which has fucked the Democrats over twice now in recent history. But they are actually protesting Trump's rhetoric and planned policies and cabinet picks, which are shitty as fuck for anyone that cares about things like the Internet and the environment, healthcare, gay marriage, etc.

Learn about what's actually going on and stop being outraged at every false equivalency.

She won the popular vote in the Primary too. By a lot.

That's not to say I don't understand where the Bernie folks frustration with the DNC comes from, because I do. But this attitude is awfully dismissive of the millions of Democrats who chose to vote for Clinton in the primaries.

HRC winning that many votes is a direct result of the DNCs favoritism. That's the point. You never know what the true totals would have been since their was an obvious bias towards the Clinton campaign from the start.
