2016, Democrats riot in protest. 2008, Democrats riot in celebration. Maybe Democrats just really like rioting.

I'm glad that you posted the picture proving the fact that the majority of voters didn't vote for Trump.

No but the Electoral College did. You always talk about our Constitution and "They have a right of assembly" but The Electoral College is apart of Constitution to stop exactly what happened in this election and in the previous elections.

Exactly, the president has been decided by the electoral college for almost the entirety of our countries history. Had the numbers stayed the same and the winner flipped then not a single one of them would be saying a word. This is exactly what happens when you give everyone a participation medal.

You think us hypocrites when it was Donald Trump who complained about the Electoral College result in 2012 when Obama won.

But now that it has worked in his favour he is silent on the issue.

He is silent because he won the electoral vote there is nothing to say. There are more important things to do in the couple of months leading up to his presidency. That includes not arguing with sore losers. Both the candidates knew the rules going into this as well as the voters. You don't just change the rules of a game after it's over and you already lost do you? This isn't the first time this issue has come up. The electoral college was designed this way to keep the few big states deciding the fate of the entire country. As it stands today 4 or so states could control absolutely everything without it. The people who are mad about it can accept it and move on or they can spend the next 4 years being angry.

Donald literally said in 2012 that everyone should march on Washington to have a revolution because President Obama was reelected with millions of more votes than Romney, but we're the sore losers because we bring up the fact that Donald actually lost the popular vote by hundreds of thousands?

You say hundreds of thousands but that number is extremely low compared to the total outcome. Donald Trump did not call for violence and extreme radical riots to form in 2012. Nothing compared to whats happening now.

Protests arent going to do anything. A lot of the people who are protesting are people who didnt even vote. Just doesnt make sense

He could have lost the popular vote by a single vote but that wouldn't change the fact that he didn't receive the majority vote.
Donald himself said that the electoral college is a disaster for democracy.

How is a march on Washington with the intention of a revolution not extremely radical?

They seriously need to get the hell over it. There is absolutely no way these protests are gonna change anything. The candidate they voted didn't elected, so what? Stop crying about because nothing is going to happen. All that is happening now is they are getting streets closed down so people can't get to where they need to be, and the occasional protesters that want to tear shit up.

Lavish wrote How is a march on Washington with the intention of a revolution not extremely radical?

To be clear, you're saying that Trump's remarks calling for a march on Washington is considered radical?


A march on Washington with the intention of revolution of a corrupt political process is not equal to violet riots across major cities not accepting the results of a democratically elected President. Radical is buzzword that all too common gets put in a negative light. I would love to hear the reasoning of not wanting to change a corrupt political process in Washington. These riots are not comparable to the what Trump was calling for.

For comparison, would you call Bernie Sanders radical? His agenda called practically for a complete overhaul of establishment politics and by your definition, would be considered radical too. Not sure I disagree either. I guess it would rely on what you consider to be "radical", and whether that's a good or bad thing. I'd assume it was meant to put Trump in a bad light.

As far as the electoral college goes, Trump addressed it in his 60 Minutes interview and to be honest, not much was to be said. You're really beating a dead horse with the situation, I'm not sure what you're trying to point at. It's not hypocritical that Trump won through the Electoral College, it's ironic. Regardless, the popular vote was barely in Clinton's favor, so this election cycle isn't the best one to tear apart the electoral college. As mentioned previously, it's outlined in the constitution. People are only outraged at it now because Trump won with the system in place. Where was all the outcry about the Electoral College before the election? Another hypocritical stance, yet again. If Clinton won through the electoral college but lost the popular vote, it would be all the Trump supporters being ridiculed. Huge double standard.

What people should be asking themselves is, how does the most "qualified" Presidential candidate lose to someone who became a politician overnight. Maybe the Democratic platform will finally make the changes it needs and actually allow an organic primary system.

look at all the sore losers out there protesting and missing work and school and not being productive for over a week now just because their candidate lost. I get that Hillary Clinton may have had more of the popular vote but America has an Electoral College. just because more people in the states Clinton already won didn't give her a win doesn't mean she still should've won.

They're just mad that their candidate didn't win and its no shock she only got like 9-10 states on the Electoral College and the only reason she had as much votes as she did was because of California, and New York. Like I wish those people would just get over it now because nothing they do is going to change the fact that we have to accept trump as our president for the next 4 years, they will have their chance next election to put a democrat back in the white house if things don't work out now.

It's only going to get worse. Apparently there are petitions for Electors of the Electoral College to vote for Clinton instead of Trump on December 19th. Once Trump is voted in by the Electors, more protests and riots. Then once on Inauguration Day, when Trump is sworn into office, expect a lot more protests and riots. It's going to be a shit show for a while.
