Faith Spotted Eagle is a Yankton Sioux Nation protester of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Without ever running for president, she is now one of two women in American history to win an Electoral College vote for president.
Oh hey it's the guy who tells everyone they should "get over" the fact that Trump was elected and get on with their lives and then bitches about Obama!
“I think it’s a rebirth of a nation, and I think that all of these young people here dream that one day they would live in a camp like this, because they heard the old people telling the stories of living along the river,” she said. “… They’re living the dream.”
Bucky, you might take notice that all I mentioned was the fact that she is only the second women to receive a vote from the Electoral College. It's an interesting historical fact. I didn't take a stand on the issue that she represents, so any assumptions that you might be making about my thoughts on that issue are just that; assumptions.
And hey just so you know I voted for Trump too, it's ok. I couldn't vote for Hillary because she's part Italian so I get it. I don't hate the blacks or Muslims like most MAGA's but I understand being motivated by hatred, because of the Italians.
As for the original post, this election is also historic in that it has seen the greatest number of individuals receiving electoral college votes for president. Specifically, there were
When 5 electors abandoned Hillary Clinton yesterday (over twice as many as deserted Trump BTW) it was the most desertions from a candidate in the Electoral College since 1872.
That women just continues to make history.
I'm sure that some of you can make more of this than I intended. Go for it.

Honestly, I wish that more Republicans would've considered organizing to get a more qualified Republican in office.
Not trying to stir shit up, just still a bit worried how World Events will unfold over the next few years.
I'm hoping that all branches will work to help the most American people that they can.
