Steve Bannon was chosen as chief strategist
...and Trump is still losing the popular vote count

is it any wonder why people are still nervous and angry?

TheForsaken · 2016-11-14, 03:11

Why do people talk about the popular vote count as if it proves anything?

No one tried to get more popular votes, it's the electoral votes they wanted. So if someone happens to have more popular votes, it's merely a side effect and doesn't mean anything.

If it has been decided from the beginning that who gets more popular votes will become the president, the candidates would have run their campaigns differently, and the people would have voted differently. There is no guarantee that Hillary would have won.

He will always lose popularity votes due to simply power of mass media and liberals (oddly enough the first thing they do is started rioting

)

No better way to spread the message than to have rioters who didn't even vote going around chanting "Love Trumps Hate" while destroying private property belonging to those who bothered to vote for the rioters' preferred candidate.

I suppose by that reasoning than it's okay for electorates change their votes too, because that's (implicitly) part of the system

Some of the opposite side called for the same, before backtracking when Trump won

It reminded of one case of riot in some country, where people burnt Porshe, thinking that it was some elite's car, and it appeared to be the car of the simple engineer that after a certain was finally able to buy the car he wanted

There was backtracking after Trump's win and it was rather expected because in order to sell himself, he had to be provocative simply to oppose the powerful Hillary's campaing (in there they even destroyed poor Bernie, the democrates failed hard this time).

It is like "pay only 15 $ instead of 100$ now!!!" and with a small remark below "*for the first 3 month"

Depends on the state, but usually no. And while it is possible some might go against the vote of their state's majority in favor on the national majority, it is unlikely that 38 electors would change their state's votes, which would be needed for Clinton to possibly win the election without involving Congress. Assuming they changed to vote Clinton instead of some other Party candidate. 37 would need to not vote for Trump in order for him to not have 270 voted needed to win, and if any decide to vote third party it would not be a tie, meaning Congress would need to do something come January 6th.

This is unlikely to happen due to the number of electors that would need to be "faithless" against the Republican Party (or just Trump) in order to change their votes.

Trump won because he gave people something to vote for
Hillary was based on giving people to vote against
She was also the poster-woman for establishment
while Trump somehow managed to convince enough people that he isn't part of that
but look who he is nominating now?

working class disenfranchisement is a real issue, but sadly it often mixed with other kinds of sentiments which Steve Bannon and his group represents

between Pence, Preibus and Bannon there's already A LOT of reason for certain minorities to panic, and that is why these protests are still going

Trump keeps confirming their worst fears

To be brutally honestly, I'd prefer Trump to be president rather than the alternative, which is to delegate all work to those people while is simply enjoys the attention

Dont forget how some people voted HARAMBE. Both candidates were so unappealing for some people they'd rather have a dead gorilla in the White House.

Ithekro · 2016-11-14, 04:09

I thought Obama beat him on that front with the mostly bicolor "Hope/Change/Progess" posters that 4-chan loved to change the crap out of in 2008 and 2009.

Like this one for example:

I think its ironic how holding up signs about hating bullies and hate... while showing hate for Trump and trying to bully him out of office.

We should be tolerant for the intolerant.

Why is this a surprise? People have been voting for Mickey Mouse for decades.

Trump team seeks top-secret security clearances for Trump's children

Please let this be fake news

Bannon is already bad enough. You don't want more pipelines for the WN movement. Also, nepotism.

Gonna be an amusing four years watching Trump Supporters defend all the stuff Trump does that they accuse Hillary of doing.

They've been doing that the last few months, they are not going to stop now.

Food for thought for those who thought Sanders was a "sure win" against Trump.

Bannon as senior adviser to the President...

Which means Breibert is on the way to becoming a legitimate news source in the U.S. ...

This nightmare never ends for the minorities in America.
