The fact that the people voted for Clinton, doesn't give orange man any mandate.
We should not be standing by doing nothing except handing the keys over to a mad man who is utterly and completely un-fit to lead.
Yeah, the electoral college is supposed to be the stop gap, fail safe button. Only it isn't and it won't.
We shouldn't be shouting Not My President at these protests. We should be demanding trump remove his claim to the Presidency in honor of the people's will. We after all have spoken and Hillary won!
Every Democrat, talking any where should never be saying, "HRC lost because.... fill in lame excuse" She won! All those Dem surrogates on the boob tube should only talk about the historic win and what are the people of America going to do about it.
I say demand trump step down so the rightful winner chosen by the American people can lead.
Too bad none of them have the guts to stand up for what is right.
We need to organize these protests and their message, we voted she won step aside donald. We need sit ins, mass walk outs, strikes, boycotts. All that stuff from the 1960's. We need to start doing this last week. And continue until we the people are heard. No Justice No Peace.

There certainly is no mandate either. I agree with you on that.

(1,733 posts)Yes it sucks, yes she won the popular vote, yes he is an idiot, and yes he got enough electoral votes to win.
But the electoral college is part of the constitution unless there is enough of a public outcry to change it. We have what we have until we do.
So for now........ and watch the shit show unfold
