You can't call people selfish for voting their conscience. And you fail to understand that if people were voting Johnson, it was at least in part because they don't like Hillary. She did not persuade them or win their votes. She received almost 7 million fewer votes than Obama. That's on her, not the Gary Johnson folks.
ETA: I hope that you all are prepared to hear repeated the arrogant words of some jackass: Elections have consequences.

They do, and the consequences here will directly affect myself and many people I love, but we will stick together and persevere.
Neither candidate got to 50% and the popular vote and the electoral vote will be divided. Yet we have elected into office, in all branches, a political party with the most extreme and uncompromising agenda we have seen since the Civil War. The problem is not just Trump, it is also Cruz and Ryan and all the other unprincipled elected officials out there. I hope the whole group of them is capable of governing, and of at least occasionally reaching out, but I deeply fear they are not.
