The Tea Party protests happened in 2009 and they weren't against Obama being elected. Apples to oranges.
The first protests happened the moment Obama took office. Anyway, angry liberals have the right to protest if they want, it's their First Amendment right whether you agree with them or not.
It is kind of oxymoronic to cite it is their right under the Constitution when they are protesting the utmost premise of the same Constitution's election process to have a peaceful transition of power. "Not my President" - sorry but he will be unless you decide to get the fuck out. And there were not protest anything to this sort when Obama was elected or right after he took office.
In 20 years when this generation that measures their personal worth by how many protests they participate in have marginal professional accomplishments and struggle to make ends meet, they will blame the evil, racist, homophobic republicans for their plight.
The Constitution gives you the right to protest peacefully regardless of whether your reasons for protesting are good ones.
If Trump won the popular vote but lost the presidency due to the electoral, it would have been a total shit show.
I really do not get the Electoral College. It is a fucking disaster to quote Trump. Only a few states in this country truly matter when it comes time to voting. The rest of us in the major cities will always swing one way. If you want everyone's fucking vote to count make the popular vote be the primary means of having the winner. Right now, its pointless to vote in NY because it will always go Democrat...Same in other states like Texas and a bunch of others
Yes. The country has spoken, but they only said what you think they did if you have their words translated by the electoral college, an anachronism that should have disappeared with the advent of the telegraph. The people did not get who they wanted.
He's going to delegate his responsibilities to people he thinks are competent at the day to day governing stuff. Or to Chris Christie, Rudi Giuliani and Newt Gingrich
It's the United States of America not the United People's of America. The point is to ensure that the states have a say in the election not simply the entire population of the country as a whole. the people are voting on behalf of their state, essentially, not on behalf of themselves as individuals. Since states do not tend to be homogenous it's the only way to ensure that even the small states have some level of say.
I disagree. There are tons of small states that have no say, from Wyoming on the right wing to Connecticut on the left wing. There are also large states that have a lot of say, like Florida and Pennsylvania. The distinction between states that have a say and states that don't is whether those states are swing states. Nothing to do with size.
In his perfect world, deficiencies are a badge of honor that you are monetarily compensated for, and they create a "community" to support the pride in that deficiency. IT'S NOT WRONG TO BE ILLITERATE. YOU'RE NOT A BAD PERSON. YOU'RE JUST DIFFERENT.
I love watching those stupid millenials and BLM idiots protesting the election. If they don't like the results they can move.
So happy about last nights vote. My guns are safe and we aren't gonna become a 2nd rate euro shithole like we would have under Killary. Proud my state went 60-35 for President-elect Trump. It's a great time to be an American.
