Why won't the left respect democracy??
Nov 11^th, 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.

The weeping and lamentations of the luvvies. The Guardian is going to be even better reading with this and Brexit.

Petitions are even popping up everywhere. Get over it and move on lefties. Bad sports? You bet!

Quote:

On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay!

We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why?

Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic.

The left think they are relevant.

When you take away their buzzwords and one liners they have nothing.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

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.

After making your prediction you can no longer question anyone else's intelligence. Remember "Hillary will definitely win". What happened to your promise you would leave if she didn't? Was that just more hot air?

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.
