Liberal Demands

Why is it that the liberals (Democrats) seem to be so insistent That their political views and agenda be followed by the new Republican administration?

After all, they lost the election which would indicate a rejection of the policies yet they seem unable to understand why the policies that lost them the election are not immediately adopted by the winning party.

Could this attitude be an indicator of why they lost?

 

Because some 50 million people didn't reject their policies.

 

They obviously did not support those policies considering the low turnout of democrats and the non voting of many that the dems counted on.

 

Low turnout doesn't mean no turn out.

50 some million people voted for the continuation of dem policies, more votes than the president elect.

 

1 in 3 Hispanics who are "about to be gassed in Trump's concentration camps" did. 42% of women whose underage daughters might get raped by Trump did.

I suppose people just saw through the Democrats' fabrications and race/gender-baiting.

 

This election is a statement to the liberals that their policies fail. They just aren't smart enough to get that until it's like 15 years later.

 

Who, specifically, are the "liberals (Democrats)" you refer to? How, exactly, are they being "so insistent"?

I don't think that folks of any political party abandon their principles wholesale just because they lose an election, nor do they lose the right to express them.

 

My point was millions of people didn't reject left wing policies and their voices deserve to be heard regardless of the election result.

What is yours? Every single one of them should shut up?

 

You're sounding a bit less flowery than usual lately.

For those protesting who are convinced they're going to be deported: there's nothing anyone can do to relieve their hysteria, they'll have to wait until January 20th to find out for themselves. Once you are asking yourself if you'd stand up to Nazi Germany or not there's no going back until you see the reality for yourself, with your own eyes.

I don't think they should shut up, I think they should stop rioting and burning (*)(*)(*)(*). Talk all you want.

 

Yes. I have yet to hear a reasonable argument for what's taking place in places like Portland, even from those sporting safety pins and filling my inbox with petitions to get electors to vote for Hillary. People are being downright silly. Come on, people, you lost an election; suck it up and move on.

 

Common American politics.

 

But not the majority of all voters. The majority voted for someone else.

 

Blue states turned red. Dems lost the executive, legislative and judicial branches. There are now at least 34 Republican governors. Over two thirds of state legislatures are Republican. It was a stinging rebuke of Obama who is the head of the Democrat Party. At this point, Libs are in no position to demand anything.

 

Did the conservative voices deserve to be heard under President Obama?

If Hillary had won the election but not the popular vote in a handful of states, would the left still be clamoring for the Electoral College to be eliminated?

 

Hillary seems to have won the majority of all individual voters, just not the electoral college voters.

Regardless, the difference is close and losing the election doesn't mean you have to stay quiet.

Completely irrelevant to the op's question and my answer.

Yeah, just because conservatives twice before 2016 doesn't mean they should have stayed quiet for the last 8 years.

As for your second question, I don't speak for the left. All I can tell you is that I'm a liberal who understands why Electoral College exists and I'm not calling for it to be eliminated...precisely because I agree that the all voices should be heard and that includes the less populated states.

 

No, they voted to continue getting the free stuff and because they were told to, without exploring the policies.

 

they (the liberals and democrats) are the ones trying to tell Trump who to appoint to his cabinet, what policies to follow and how to act. He doesn't need them and they are stupid to act as if they were victorious.

 

Additional millions of left wingers did not even vote. Are you saying that now, since they did not care on elections day, that their votes should somehow count and more than those who did vote?

 

They truly are acting like spoiled brat children. They really should take note of how "the other side" deals with defeat. All it would do is simply garnish them more respect. Why is it something so obviously simple can turn out complicated? Who knows?

 

I don't think you know them well enough to know what they voted for.

No, I said just because an election is lost doesn't mean the voices of losing side should be silenced. Is this really that difficult to understand for you?

 

Is it really that difficult for you to understand that losing an election has consequences? Even your god Obama made mention of this.

 

Tough nuggies. There are no participation trophies, and there is no crying in baseball

 

The law (electoral college, look it up) says you lost. Get over it.

 

Dems would not give republicans the time of day if dems won by a slim margin, and you know it.
