Title: Why won't the left respect democracy?? Post by matty on Nov 11th, 2016 at 5:08pm
Even two days after the election those on the left are marching and protesting and whining about the decision. Why not just be good sports, accept the democratic decision and move on? You lost, get over it. The people had enough of the corrupt political establishment. They didn't want to vote for Hillary.
It doesn't matter what political experts like Katy Perry, Lady GaGa, Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Jay Z and Robert DeNiro wanted. What makes them think that ordinary Americans would listen to them? What arrogance and contempt. That said I don't really mind all the whining and bitching keep it coming it's been highly amusing, it's been almost orgasmic watching you moan after having told us for months on end that Trump had no chance of winning. |

If the left lost, who won.
i.e TPP gone ... a left win Isolationism, the death of globalisation ... a left win A trade war, undermining capitalism ... a left win. Trump has trashed the right from within. |

In 4 years time—how much will Trump have accomplished. Like the simian here—I bet nothing much, nothing good. But maybe demonising muslims, new immigrants may be enough. Doubt it but maybe. |

Hey, Dumbo, the right to protest IS democracy. But just because it's you assholes being protested against, it's somehow wrong? And do you think for one minute that Trump followers wouldn't have done likewise if Killary (The Hildebeast) had won? Of course they would have, and probably even worse. You may or may not disagree with WHY they are protesting. That's fine. I don't care. But to suggest that they CANNOT protest is nothing remotely democratic. **For the record, I am NOT a Clinton supporter. Make of that what you will. |

You may not be a Hillary supporter per se but I would be the house that you wanted her to win over Trump. Two things: 1. Calling me dumbo is ironic given you didn't even understand what I said. I didn't say that they couldn't or shouldn't protest. That is fine, within reason (except for assaulting people and breaking windows as many of them have). I said that they are whinging and not accepting the decision. It was like Brexit and the election of the One Nation Senators. And I am questioning the point of their protesting? What are they trying to achieve? The election is over and done with. 2. You calling me dumbo also shows that the left are usually the ones that assault and insult others. I didn't call you names, I have too much class for that. When you resort to insults it detracts from whatever point you are trying to make. |

Trump pledged right through his campaign that he would not respect democracy if he lost so why should he expect anything different when he won. Besides some people really do not want a President who admits to sexually assaulting women and expects to get away with it. You can only wonder what he thinks the president can do with out repercussions. The man is not suitable to represent anyone. He was dead and buried till his FBI mates sunk Clinton with false accusations. The only good thing is he is virtually the USA's version of Abbott, hang on to your seats it is going to be a very funny ride. |

The left has lomg claimed to be the side of peace and tolerance. Where is there? Show me where I said it. As I understand it Hillary did slightly win the popular vote but Donald received more votes from a wider variety of demographics, whereas hers was mostly concentrated especially in New York and California. If that is the only reason they were protesting (which I highly doubt then work on changing the system. I didn't see any lefties complaining in 2014 when in SA Labor was elected with many less votes than the acoalition because of the gerrymander in SA. |

Obviously, your method is to try and induce a reaction in others, without an intention of debating. So this post and I will not look at this thread again. From midday on January 20 — the day Mr Trump is inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States — he will also become the commander-in-chief of the entire US army, navy and air force, giving him sole authority to order a nuclear or conventional missile attack. Normally such a role would barely rate a mention after a US election. But during the campaign, Mr Trump repeatedly raised the possibility of using nuclear weapons. In May, Mr Trump said if the Islamic State (IS) group was to attack the US, he might return fire with a nuke — and that Japan and South Korea should be able to do the same to North Korea. In response, the White House described his policy as "catastrophic". Then, in August, it was revealed he had asked a foreign policy expert three times during a briefing: "Why can't we use nuclear weapons?" "Three times he asked," said MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, who said he had spoken to the expert. "At one point: 'If we have them, why can't we use them?'" http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-11/donald-trump-access-to-nuclear-weapons-should-we-be-scared/8017276 TRUMPWINS-US-sack.jpg (118 KB | 52

This was the call in 2000.......The Result........Albert Gore still lost......George Bush was inaugurated as scheduled without incident. Every time there is a close election, the call goes out to "Change the Electoral College System", but after 230+ years it's still there, & the American People who don't like it still get over it in due course. If the American People wanted to change the Electoral College System in the US Constitution they would need to petition for a Constitutional Amendment, introduce it into the Republican Congress, get it passed...not by a majority, but by a super majority in both the Senate & the House of Representatives...& that's just for starters.....they would then have to put it to a passage vote of the 50 States, of which 3/4 of them....38 States.....would have to agree with it. Traditionally this would take between 7 & 20 years. Of the over 1,400 proposed Amendments to the US Constitution that followed this difficult path over 230+ years, only 17 succeeded. So, go to the American People with a petition from this forum, & convince them that we Australians think they should change their most sacred & revered document to make the World happy, & make America more Democratic. If they don't laugh you out of town tarred & feathered on a rail, & they somehow decide you're 100% correct, then I wish you clear sailing before you pile up on the solid rocks known as the "United States" of America! |

The mood in the Big Media and among theor readership is bleak, and deservedly so.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that, with a few exceptions, we were all tacitly or explicitly #WithHer, which has led to a certain anguish in the face of Donald Trump’s victory. More than that and more importantly, we also missed the story, after having spent months mocking the people who had a better sense of what was going on. This is all symptomatic of modern journalism’s great moral and intellectual failing: its unbearable smugness. Had Hillary Clinton won, there’s be a winking “we did it” feeling in the press, a sense that we were brave and called Trump a liar and saved the republic. |

Remember, & Trump now knows this full well, the American system is only based on democratic principals, it is not a Democracy, it is a Constitutional Republic. The American Founding Fathers were insistent that they didn't want America to be a Democracy, where 50% + 1 forms a Majority, & therefore it rules over the remaining minority. They wanted to protect the Minority, something a Democracy can't & won't do. America is a Constitutional Republic, & is not ruled by a Majority....50%+1, it's governed by A Constitution......the rule of law, all with the consent of the governed.....the American People ;) What the American Form of Government is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFXuGIpsdE0 |

Don't cry just because you didn't get your way. I accepted the results in 2008 and 2012 and in 2007 when Howard lost the election. I didn't act like a little baby and have a whinge just because my side didn't win. Sure, Trump isn't perfect, but I don't agree that he is all those things you mentioned. And don't act like Hillary is Miss Innocent. And he is refreshing.

He also said when asked about the long known problem with him refusing to pay his contractors after the work is done was to say that something in the order of if you want me to pay them you need to change the laws to make me. This was an admission that he deliberately refuses to pay the people he contracts to do work and in the end never pays them correctly. Just like the expectation to get away with sexual assault straight out of his own mouth. these allegations They are not really allegations when he has confirmed that most of it is true and most of the stuff came out of his own mouth.

Are you just trying to be ignorant? Trump lied endlessly and repeatedly. He made promises for things he cannot do because they are illegal, unconstitutional, grossly too expensive or just plain foolish. But you swallowed it. Do you deny he is racist? Do you deny he is sexist? Do you deny he is abusive? Do you deny he has sexually assaulted women? Do you deny that he has zero experience in public administration? You dont because you cant. and yet you think this is a suitable man for President? You too have put your politics above all else - including you intelligence. |

He is not an attorney. No actual legally-trained person would make such a ludicrously simple-to-debunk statement. 'they let you do it' is not an admission consent. And admission of consent is when they say 'I let him do it'. How many convicted rapists claim 'they let me do it'. idiot. |

Well stupido, if you have ever been in a courtroom, & a witness/defendant ever said "they let me do it", I would think either it would be used against them later if the claimant said she/he never said any such thing......otherwise the statement would have to be corroborated under oath to prove validity......no? ;) |

Many are still allegations and the other 'true' ones are irrelevant in the long term. Trump's attack on cultural leftism is just the beginning. There's elections in Europe in the next few years and you'll see similar results. The fight back against left-wing nihilism has now become mainstream. The right now has the foot on the left's throat and they won't release; instead, they will push down, hard. The right has learnt, painfully, that you do not concede to the left. You give the left an arm and they demand a leg. What's coming in the next few decades is, when the left demand an arm, the right will cut the left's arm off. This is guaranteed because the left are extremely stubborn and will, in their stubbornness, become more extreme, thus justifying the extreme measures to put them down. Eastern Europe has stemmed the tide of left-wing nihilism early, thus they'll be free from what's coming. But the West will see far more violent results. |

You don't know what you're talking about. It's a cultural war more than an economic one. Tasks of the 1960s radicals: European civilisation/culture has nothing but a racist, sexist history, therefore offers nothing - completed. Minority ethnicities/races more important than the host ethnicity - completed. Destruction of the traditional family - completed. Destruction of gender roles/norms - completed. Feeling over reason - completed. Destruction of Christianity - completed. You lefties don't see what's going on with the rise of the alternative right. You don't even see what it is they're complaining about. If you'd bother to do some honest investigation, you'd see that the alternative right has some sympathies for the economic models found on the left. But you won't. You lefties are too stubborn, and this is why you're going to lose the culture war over the next few decades. If you don't understand your opponent, how do you expect to beat him? |

It began with Ronald Reagan... As Alistair Cooke put it in 1982 (in one of his famous 'Letter from America' broadcasts).. "Mr Reagan has hammered away at the theme that he was going to reverse 50 years of American history. He was going to cancel the Roosevelt revolution, the creation of a strong central government with direct responsibility for the fundamental needs – shelter, food, housing – of all its citizens." |

It's not just fogies that are of the alt-right. Younger people are joining up, and more people are 'coming out of the closet' because it's now becoming acceptable to have non-leftist views.
