Your thoughts on the protests

[Minimalist]

It's a start.

The 'day late' part makes me wonder, though...

Trump got 200,000 fewer votes than McCain in 2008 and 1.2 million fewer votes than Romney in 2012.

Clinton got 9.5 million fewer votes than Obama in 2008 and 6 million fewer than in 2012.

How many of those protesters stayed home on November 8th?

THAT is a very good question.  How many of them were the sanctimonious shits who claimed that Drumpf and Clinton were exactly "alike."  Well, fuck 'em. They will learn the error of their ways.


Or they'll just go back to playing Pokemon on their fucking phones.  I don't know.

As long as they're peaceful, I support them.

I have five daughters, and not one of them understand how a sexist racist bully could be elected President. They don't understand how we've not yet had a woman President, and they don't understand how people could have selected this bully. One of them said that even they know not to vote for a bully.

I'm glad to see some people are willing to protest the Presidency of a bully--so my children know that a lot of people don't support bullies. I think it's important for them to see that.

I have 4 daughters. Not one of them could understand how anyone would vote for Mrs Clinton given many of her activities. As far a being female, I never heard any of them sugggest someone vote for her because she was a female. We all agree a woman can and one day will make a great president, but that should not be a determining factor as that is sexist and discriminatory.

They have been raised to be self reliant and think for themselves. I'm sure some will say I indoctrinate that thinking into them since they were knee high to a duck. I would disagree. I raised all of my children to be intellectuals, self reliant and to think for themselves.

Define Irony - Trump protestors saying violence, bloodshed, and that people would have to die before change comes. Coming from the anti-gun left that seems almost humorous.

I personally know a number of these people (not millenials, but the equalls bad folks), and it is taking all my restraint not to say something.

I just try and remember that the DNC really did do this to itself when it let Bernie go and picked Clinton.  Then you would've seen so much enthusiasm!  From the rural areas too.  Did I show you my local Rurals for Bernie signs? It was a big movement.

Face it.  The Democratic establishment shot itself in the foot because they were afraid Bernie would harm politics as usual. 

There's blame enough to go around.

They did not "pick" Clinton.  Bernie lost.  She won.  Face it.  It was the same stupid process when Clinton lost to Obama in '08.

The reason we haven't had a woman president yet is not because the nation is sexist or anti female. We had an opportunity to have a female VP (Sarah Palin) just a few years ago but I don't see anyone here calling Democrats and liberals mysoginistic sexist homophobes because she didn't get elected.

I would vote for Condoleezza Rice in a heartbeat if she would run for President. I've always hoped she would consider a return to politics. Yet I find myself being lumped in with the rest of the Trump supports as being racist, sexist and such.

I wonder if the same people who told Trump supporters they couldn't be concerned about voter fraud and had no right to protest the election if they lost, are the ones going out protesting now?

Actually dumbshit... Democrats had Geraldine Ferraro back in 1984. She was highly qualified and intelligent (a replicans worst nightmare). 30 years later you throw out a non-coherent barely literate soccer mom as a VP candidate. Something for the delporables to fantasize about as they polish their guns.

Just go away.

They did however influence the primaries (by generally siding with Hillary from the start). That can have an impact. Had Bernie been treated fairly by the DNC, then perhaps we would be having better days now. Anyway, it's just speculating. No one can really tell what would be happening now if Bernie had been able to win the primaries.
