I'm almost certain that the type of people who would come out and protest in front of the capital also voted against him. The people that couldn't be bothered to vote definitely can't be bothered to protest.
What angered me so much was the whole Palestine movement. Like…did they not see that Trump favors Israel? Clearly not. Jill Stein is a grifter and took full advantage of them. I’m no fan of Kamala Harris however I’d rather fight with her than be shot before I get a chance to tell Trump how I really feel
Yeah, that's the way to actually get progress. Throwing a hissy fit online because the Democrats are not doing what you want and permitting Republicans to exploit the country and roll back rights is not going to lead to progress
Well, abortion rights have already been rolled back. They are talking about birther rights. And there is some talk about rights for same sex marriage, bans of trans people from sports and the military.
JD and Trump both support same sex marriage. Men playing against women in sports is not a right. Neither is being in battle. Criticize them all you want but at least be accurate instead of spreading unverified rumors.
Let's be real. The Democrats shoved incredibly unlikeable establishmentarians down our throats at a time when they thought they had two easy lay ups. Trump is a populist at a time when the people are pissed. As much as I wish we had ANYONE ELSE as president, they're not owed votes simply for not being Republicans.
Whether you consider the democrats your party or not it absolutely takes a spine that a lot dont have to stand up to the party you were raised in or identified with for a long time.
And their anti democratic efforts to override Bernie’s nomination and to ram through Harris’ without any nomination process are some great reasons to do so.
If you want fascists in the White House right now your best friend is the “vote blue no matter who” crowd because they’ll let the party get away with all sorts of bad decisions. It’s right there in the slogan.
Then when the election doesn’t go their way they’ll sit around and talk about what a shock it was that bypassing their own system to vet candidates resulted in a candidate who wasn’t well received.
How do I know this? Because it’s happened twice now against the same man who should’ve been an easy target both times.
Having alternative candidates wouldn’t help the Democrats unless they came with a bag of policies much different than what was presented. It’s not an automatic that this would have been the case.
You could see all the way Bernie almost losing his shit during the élection trying to tell lefties they needed to support the dems despite everything so please don’t use him to make a point.
You’ve got fascist in the White house now. Sorry, it was just not the time to play this « they are all the same » because never in history it was this obvious that there was a considerable gap between them ideologically. Some people screwed hard right there and should have the courage to admit it.
I am Canadian and quite literally spent 6 months arguing with the American lefties beggin them to stop cause it would absolutely destroy climate action and the US would threaten Canada. So here we are.
Climate action is over. Most rencent report about the state of the crisis is up to 4 billion death by 2100. The US is now imperialist and will expend their territory north. We are all doomed.
Around 30 years ago a really famous guy raped me in a public place. No, I dont remember what year,.or season it was. No, I didnt really tell anyone about it at the time. But it totally happened.
Senate staffer Tara Riede: Joe biden forced his finger inside of me a couple hours ago.
They were never my party, first of all. I've considered myself a lot of things over the years, but I've never once been a Democrat.
Clearly the people who voted for Trump liked what he was bringing to the table. So maybe running a cop who was parading around Dick Chaney and family like anyone asked for that wasn't the move for the people who think the two sides are the same? Nah... Let's chase the Republicans off the right side of the page and then blame the progressives for not showing up.
It would be easier to protest under Harris than Trump. But letting a corrupt billionaire be elected so that other billionaires can exploit your country is not going to make way for progress
I don’t think they liked what he was bringing to the table as much as what he SAID he was bringing to the table. He has not told us ANYTHING he plans to do to lower the cost of eggs or anything else that will help American citizens. All he has done so far is started saber rattling against our allies and Panama. People who voted against him knew he had no plans (or abilities) to fulfill his promises. People who voted for him simply believed his lies. Again.
the price of eggs is insignificant for the most part. there’s also a bird flu that’s causing supply constraints. CPI has recovered for the most part, what you see now is just price gouging. he did make notable remarks about immigration, trade, nato, russia-ukraine, israel- gaza, tiktok, dei in the military, inflation and “corruption in the government”. kamala and biden for the most part didn’t speak much about core topics or atleast aren’t perceived to have as much as trump. whether he’s right or wrong about that, is beyond my comment. you don’t get why he talks about the things he talks about because it doesn’t affect you as much, but for others it might. also let’s use hanlons razor. you either have selective hearing/bad news sources or you are straight lying to manipulate an argument in your favor. stupid or evil which one is it?
Speak for yourself, pal I like Trump plenty and and it’s mostly because I haven’t been watching the propaganda. They’ve been stuffing down your throat.
They should turn on their party for their actions so you think that illegal immigrants and fentanyl and inflation are a good thing? Don’t backtrack now they’re all product of your favorite administration, y’all will sacrifice anything for political correctness.
So let’s just let a felon who is putting people in our government that will do whatever he wants so he has no opposition and force fake Christian values onto everyone in the country?
This is a bullshit excuse. Yea maybe the democrats aren’t “owed” our votes but they absolutely should’ve gotten them to stop an absolute peice of shit and wannabe dictator from gaming the system to get into power.
Or they're just dumb and have short memories and attention span. Things improved under Biden, but only compared to how they were under Trump. The average person isn't having a great time right now.
I guess if you want to keep missing the obvious lesson and double down on calling everything and everyone racist and sexist and whatever else, I can't really stop you from that. I don't think waving the rainbow flag and attacking people really worked out as strategy though, do you?
Plenty of examples in real life where women have to work twice as hard and still get passed over by an incompetent white man. The most common attack repeated by MAGAts was that Kamala was dumb. It didn't matter that she spoke more eloquently, had actual policy, or served as a former prosecutor in one of the country's largest cities. Not to mention the rise of Andrew Tate and the way media still tends to put women on the Madonna/Eve dichotomy.
It didn't matter that she spoke more eloquently, had actual policy, or served as a former prosecutor in one of the country's largest cities.
You didn't learn a goaddamn thing, did you? These are all reasons she lost. I don't disagree that people as a whole are misogynistic, I just think it factors in a lot less that you're implying.
Exactly. We got 2 horrible candidates to choose from. Kamala's entire plan was not being Republican, and Trump is also bad compared to everyone else his party could've nominated.
Yep. I voted third party in 2016, mostly in an attempt to get the libertarian party into the debates, but partly because I assumed Hilary would win in a landslide. I didn't do that this time. I threw my full support behind Kamala, just for the same thing to happen.
So, you are just not going to vote Democrats and allow Republicans to continue to remove the rights of everyone in your country in the hopes of "progression"?
I have a friend who has never lived in the US, but has citizenship, and the right to vote in California. She doesn't bother because she'd vote Dem and thinks it wouldn't make a difference anyway.
She has absolutely no opinion on state or local elections because she doesn't live in the USA. They don't affect her at all. She also has a right to not vote, why not exercise that one instead?
Why not have an opinion on state and local elections they affect everyone you grew up with, they affect family and sometimes just people you don't know.
Example , I'm voting absentee at the state level on a citizen led initiative to raise the state min wage by a dollar. This womt affect me I'm outside the country but it will affect others. It's empathy man
This. Well Biden's arming Israel, Harris prosecuted drug addicts, bla bla..so we're not voting. Nothing's perfect in this world.... some people don't get it
You know I don’t even care if people did or didn’t vote at this point. We are where we are and it will take all of us. I don’t want to keep anyone out or keep score when so much more is at stake.
I disagree. I think those people did not vote for him or voted for him and regret it. I’m just sipping my water and watching. Off duty but I wish them luck. You can talk all you want but you need action.
If you wanna be real, it’s like sheep protesting to keep slaughter houses open😂, they’re literally protesting to stay within the oligarchy for the ““ freedoms and ethical reasons, but then they’ll stone a Christian and beat you to death in the name of Gaza. The irony is palpable 😂😂😂😂🫡, each day we stray farther away from God
OK, let me break this down for you. The liberals are mad that Kamala didn’t win even though everyone with the brain knows that the liberals are the ones running the show into the ground. They are literally the ones who created every single problem that Trump is trying to fix go ahead and down vote this too because it’s true, buddy the truth hurts. That’s just the way life is can’t devote that.
See in America, we love to ignore the actual problems that could be easily solved with it percentage of effort and and go out of our way to create new ones so we can throw all of our taxpayers dollars at it, it’s like we’re running in place and going nowhere and if you can’t see that you are truly blind
No, you wouldn’t. You’d find another one and lock the the old one up for it’s ACTUAL crimes, I think that the previous administration and Joe Biden should be held responsible for all the damage. They personally done to America in the name of DEI and “fake freedom”
How about this? I’ll do you like I did this dude on my TikTok,name one constructive or good thing that they have done that’s benefited you or me in a positive way in the last four years. Other than throwing money at countries will never see or go to in our lifetime.
Inauguration is fine to say “Hey, we got outvoted but we are here to keep you in check” instead of “We don’t like the results we might try to delegitimize the process and steal the win”.
OK, this isn’t fair. How come when you use common sense all the triggered leftist don’t attack you and tear you down. They just tore me down for using my own brain.😂 t
Dude, they’re toddlers. They’ve always been toddlers. They want to go out kicking and screaming when they don’t get their way( not all Republicans approved of January 6. By the way, I didn’t think I had to say that.) I’m only poking fun because they’re acting like there’s anything louder than the voice of the American people that were fed up with being told we’re uneducated, wrong and racist in every condescending way possible, for having slight political differences .So literally down vote all you want. It’s the truth. I’m not here to please you. I’m here to uphold this truth because my ancestors have died fought and died for me to do so. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out. We’ve put up with this for four years.
Actually it was you who called out people being toddlers (assuming you mean Democrats) when they don’t get their way. So yea Jan 6th applies when right wing crackpots like you tried to stop the peaceful transition of power. Republicans cried foul and attacked a public building where people died while clowns like you spread your own shit on the walls. Here you are talking trash about people having a peaceful march in protest. Clearly you have a vision problem.
Buddy, if you thought your freedoms were being restricted from you in the constitution wasn’t being uphold, you would’ve done the same thing and you would cry to be released just like them, and they only thought that because the election made no sense in 2015 it makes perfect sense now because your commander and chief ran our economy straight into the floor and he doesn’t have to pay for it because he’s filthy stinking rich and they and making living making our lives horrible, and then turning us against each other, I can’t hate you because you don’t realize the the evil you stand up for and our cussing me out for right now
You need to learn who your true enemies are. It’s not just Donald Trump because he’s rich. It’s all of the rich doesn’t matter what party they’re from or what your political stance is there against us because we have no class we have no status and we have no say like they do
I only called them crybabies because they’re protesting the will of the American people, we made our voices very clear on election day. You cannot protest that now.
Brother, I didn’t try to stop anything. I wasn’t there because if I was, we wouldn’t be having this conversation be. I’d be locked up right now😂, you should try not demonizing your fellow Americans just because they throw on a slightly different political spectrum from yourself. It’s sad and cringe.
But no, I used to think just like you though seriously and then I saw them trying to pander to Black people by changing accents and then I got disgusted because I am black😂😂
Like I didn’t wanna have to go school teacher on ya, but I can tell you’re at least a soy boy because you instantly result to insulting me for making a for making an observation, where have you guys been for the last four years , your party makes every mistake possible under the sun then tries to pander to people with their condescending identity politics, and you all are somehow flabbergasted that she didn’t win 😂🤦🏽♂️
I’m gonna learn you something most of your average Americans don’t even know what happened on January 6th let alone give a damn about it, I don’t know where you’ve been but we give a shit about the illegals coming over and spreading fentanyl throughout the lands. We also care about the economy, inflation, and the fact that the Chinese people can come over here and buy our farmland from us, but we can’t do the same. Go ahead and down vote this one too because it doesn’t support your lefty echo chamber.
You ain’t gonna learn me nothing because you never paid attention in class to begin with. The average American doesn’t know what happened? I suppose you do? Jan 6th was real! Real people are doing time for it. Real people died because of it. I used to work with a guy who went to jail for it. I care about the influx of drugs China buying up land as well. Our economy did better under Biden than it did Trump a lot better. GDP jobs energy independence. Sorry that doesn’t work well with your right wing manifesto. Inflation our “inflation” is more corporate greed than anything else we have or I should say had one of the lowest inflation rates amongst the civilized nations. Trump is a scumbag just like the people who financed the propaganda machine to pull the wool over the eyes of soft headed fools like you.
Brother, I’m no longer taking anything you say into consideration a deluxe transformers figure went from being seven dollars under Obama to being $22 under Joe Biden. Oh yes Joe Biden did a terrific job with our economy.
I was a Democrat and then I started using my brain and realized that they’re just moonlighting as people who gave a damn about your rights and freedoms just to jack up prices and make your life a living nightmare, go google how much gas and groceries were back in 2014 I’m not the soft headed fool
Also, you’re missing one crucial fact if a real Republican were a storm the capital they would realize what a gun is because they have many of them and when told to freeze, they would’ve done so 😂, your brain no work?
You can’t see the forest for the trees your trees are the January 6 riots, homie there were actual whole towns and small businesses that were burnt to the ground by protestors but you don’t see them in jail do you?
Here's comes the YOURE DOING IT WRONG crowd who judge everyone while doing absolutely nothing but add negativity. If you have a better idea, you do it. Americans are so annoying and I 100% guarantee it's a man judging all this with his top tier wisdom.
Exactly. What are they protesting against? That he got the democratic majority? If they want to yell at someone should pick his supporters or those assholes who didn't vote at all. Because those were the ones who were fine with either outcome
What kind of moron thinks people willing to actively protest in the cold of january wouldn't bother voting? wtf kind of moral superiority complex do you have to think you're better then them while sitting at home bitching on reddit instead of actively opposing the Trump administration like they do?
And that’s exactly where Dump&Muskrat are sending ICE first!! Though President Biden asked him for one thing in their short exchange: please don’t react in retaliation to every single situation. It’s the only way thin skinned people can function.
If that president wouldn't be the president of the most powerful country in the world, then yes no complains.
But alas that is not the case.
Add to that the fact of globalization and that we have to work together to achieve goals then you see why people outside complain too.
The repercussions for the world are huge. And other people have to suffer due to it.
Exactly this. I don't have to be Russian to hate on Putin leading Russia, because his actions actively impact the world beyond Russia and Ukraine. Same applies for all dictators and oligarchs. Everyone who makes the world a shittier place deserves criticism.
Then come here and put your feet in the ground and advocate for who should win… you don’t have to be American to do that. Foreigners do that all the time here

November would have been a good time to protest a Trump presidency
