I find it very ironic that many of the people who espouse to want equality, are now fighting it at the very most core level.
And that equality is in the ballot box.
Yep. Every American citizen over the age of 18 gets one vote. Regardless of class, education, gender, race, age, etc. Just one vote each. ONE.
And then, as the rules outlined in the Constitution state, in the case of the president, each state gets so many electoral college votes, and then those votes are tallied by state to determine the election results. It’s not perfect, but it is how the law of the land outlines the process.
Unlike in many countries around the world, we have a system that allows the people to peacefully, predictably, efficiently, and fairly choose their representatives in government on a regular basis.
That just happened. It was close, but a winner was declared and the loser conceded to fight the results no more.
But now, some are not happy because the vote didn’t go “their” way. These people who espouse equality are actually asking for privilege, the privilege to decide for others who our elected officials (especially the president) should be. They want THEIR vote to count MORE than others.
Can anyone else see how that crosses a line? Crosses a line in a core principle (equal rights under the law) that they themselves supposedly champion and hold so dear?
My rights don’t end, as they say, where your feelings begin.
It’s over, folks. For those who voted another way than how things turned out, it’s time to put on the big people pants, accept reality, and for each to do their part to move on peacefully and productively as individuals and all of us collectively as a nation. There’s lots of work to be done, roll up your sleeves and let’s get to it.
God Bless America!
(P.s. When are all those celebrities moving, again? Canada doesn’t have to take them, but they said they don’t want to be here so…go on now….. get….fffffftttt. And take the rest with you!)
Seems like Spawny and his experience with Remoaners relevant here it is.
Wonder which side has the guns I do…
Probably the “mostly peaceful” marchers just want to make s’mores on bonfires they do
Indeed Yoda. Similar but different, in their case it was a referendum, in our case it was a person. But similar in people not wanting to accept the vote.
And the thing about that can of worms is… do we really want to live in a world where how the people vote doesn’t matter? Because if all won’t follow the rule, none will follow the rule.
What is more damaging is no civil discourse. You can’t disagree with the left and have a rational argument and come to some middle ground
That’s why the usa will fall apart
That is a point, Yoda…. hummm…
There’s a reason all that stuff in the Constitution is there!
Another thing that I find ironic, the person who was elected wasn’t claimed by either party really. The same two parties who for too long have tried the patience of the people who voted them both out! Ha ha.
Of course he ran as a Republican, but he was clearly not their choice. It’s unprecedented really, as far as I know.
Somebody had to do it. The bipartisan thing was WAY out of control…. just sayin’
That’s WHY this happened.
Personally, I think it is just what this country needed!
Peace. The marches and complaints are not reasoned, but the reactions of children being told “Bedtime!” You see the adult version of “Daddeeee, do we have toooo??” They were having a party on a reality-TV show, and the last episode was canned.
If you are still getting silly questions 2 days hence, quietly ask “Do you want something different from democracy? And rule of law? 600,000 died when that was tried in Rwanda, and the weapon of choice was the machete”
i don’t want them to go to Canada. They are not wanted by Canadians. I think Venezuela is a much better place for them.
The key to remoaners is to ridicule them and then ignore them.
They’re like terminators of reason and they absolutely, positively will not stop till long after the issue is purely academic (and only then if you’re lucky)
The sooner your infant notmyprez types realise that nobody cares what they think, the sooner they’ll go back to pfudor and their safe spaces.
Good point, Spawny. Hypocrites vex me more than anything but I will not stoke the flames…. but they are so dumb….. ug…. hard not to point out the obvious…
@ Ton, I get what you are saying but I am hoping what just happened will long term prevent worse from happening. We need to come to the middle for sure!
The SJW’s remind me of the girls from the Salem Witch Trials!
The SJW’s are just like MegaTrans and the Offendocons:
notice Lacie Green and Anita Sarkeesian cameo 😛
I dont get your system.
Twice we reduced the governing party to mlst oblivion. The people spoke.
After 3 consecutive concervative terms in the 90s we didnt just turf them out.
We dropped them from 170 seat majority to 2 seats. As in One plus one.
The party all but vanished.
We then did simiar to the Liberals. From majority to 5 seats.
AND WE ACCEPTED IT. no riots. no weeping. we just go on with it.
Imagine if in this election either party was reduced to say just Rhode Island. The other party got everything else. Sends a message dont it.
Canada is screwed in a lot of ways. But our parties know that they MUST listen to the people cause the people can make them CEASE TO EXIST.
Trump didnt win as a republican. He won as a populist. The majority of people who bothered to vote rejected the two ruling parties. Unfortunately your system cannot replace them like ours can. Hell every single current canadian party in its current form DID NOT EXIST when my son was born.
p.s. Trump will likely not care about rerunning in 2020. So He will be the only President to actually want to get stuff done. What he wants done. what he sees as needing to be done. Without worrying about the fallout nexf election or being beholden to special groups who elected him.
America talks about freedom. You now have the FREE-EST leader the modern world has ever seen. Lets see if you can handle the freedom.
Ton – “What is more damaging is no civil discourse. You can’t disagree with the left and have a rational argument and come to some middle ground
That’s why the usa will fall apart”
legit.
🙂
When have I been wrong RPG? I realize folks don’t like what I say but that doesn’t change reality.
There is no middle ground to be had. The left wants to replace everything about traditional america including White folks. Recon what the left says and take them at their word. Everyone who opposes them is some how less then fully human. HRC said excatally what the left thinks of blue collar and right of center Whites.
Start with the opinion peices about the election. Way more the haters won etc then we failed to xyz.
We separate soon and peacefully or within 2 generations it will be blood, bayonets, bullets and fire.
Everything I say is legit.
Or I wouldn’t say it ; )
hehehe! 🙂
Immigrant lawyers would be saddened by inaccurate projections of client influx. xD
