Yes
[QUOTE=Tudd;51725578]I look at it and see a bias, but atleast it isn't reddit /politics/ bad. It's actually pretty good here except for a few leftists. I think most people on here are actually common sense liberals who just don't really comment that much cause this arguing is tiring as fuck for most.
But it also doesn't help that most of the mainstream media is also left leaning. Which is what fuels SH and that Facepunch is heavily favored to be not for Trump according to the census regarding political affiliation and voter admission.[/QUOTE]
Dude no need to shit on liberal media anymore. Just let them keep reporting their alternative facts. I get all my news from the White House now.

Then you will become increasingly misinformed and susceptible to rhetoric, especially since Trump is a proven liar and the White House Press Secretary blatantly lied to everyone the other day.
Did you learn nothing from the Bush era when it comes to blindly accepting what the government says?

Every time you post this tripe 10 kittens die.
Please, think of the kittens and stop posting something completly irrelevant that misses the point entirely that [I][B]AMERICA IS A REPUBLIC AND A DEMOCRACY AND THOSE CONCEPTS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.[/B][/I]
I thought the resist stuff was meant in the direction of facts and science being denied by most every person appointed by and including Trump.

Well, it's what started the hashtag, I'm pretty sure.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;51726803]If I had a brother that was dying and the only way that he could be saved was for me to give blood to him, I have every right to refuse. No court in the land would demand that I should save my brother's life because I have all the rights over my own body. It should be the exactly the same with abortion. Nobody has the right to tell a woman what they must carry a baby to term, it must be up to the woman.[/QUOTE]
See, it's actually even more messed up than this.
Imagine the following:
I die in a road accident, I am literally decapitated, my head gets crushed, my brain is utterly destroyed.
I am gone.
Even as a corpse, medical staff have no right to harvest my healthy, but steadily cooling blood and organs in order to save lives with them- without my consent prior to my death.
The right in america want women to have less agency over their own bodies than [B] Corpses [/B] are afforded. In their eyes, the rights of my smashed and headless body would be more important than those of a living healthy woman.

A direct democracy would vote directly on the issues, a presidential election is representative democracy.

haha yeah these people are calling for a direct democracy aren't they.
[sp]technically im nitpicking a non-sequitorial nitpick i love it[/sp]
do you people think before you copy paste other people's talking points.
[QUOTE=Llamaguy;51725358]The majority of Americans didn't want Trump.
Nor do a majority support his racist and fascist rhetoric.[/QUOTE]
I wonder when people are going to realize there is no national popular vote and trump has a democratic mandate. This meme shows so much ignorance
He won, the left lost. 'Resist' is no less a call to thwart democracy and peaceful transition of power than calling for a second referendum after brexit.
The fact of the matter is that trump's voters were more evenly distributed, and the electoral college did its job of preventing densely populated states (but really cities) from having a a stranglehold over the whole country. Besides that, trump won the popular vote where it mattered, meaning the rust belt not California
But yes, let's pretend there's a democratic mandate to have antifa riot

He won on a bunch of insane promises and plenty of lies so there's that, literally all he did was talk better than Clinton.
The job of the electoral college in theory was to prevent populist demagogues from sweeping their way into the election. It had one job, and it failed to do that. Now we have an idiotic populist demagogue running roughshod over the nation already.
A person like Trump who claimed he wouldn't go to heaven if he didn't win the election, who literally lied to the people to get their support, asked his supporters to riot if he lost, and was A-ok with having his political opponents either beaten up or shot, and paying their lawyer's fees on top of that, is by every definition a fascist. Not that he knows what the word means, but I'm pretty sure getting elected by -3 million votes has to mean something even to the blindest of blind men when it comes to how much support and popularity he actually enjoys.

This is not a sports game.
Also Clinton was left wing now? that's news to me.

Oh ops, apologies.
First there was the uncanny resemblance to the Breencast.

Now somebody's taken the crane from "sand traps" and made a poster with the words "resist".

So we are inside Half-Life 3?
Trump is collaborating with the Combine, the allegations involving Russia were a cover.

We're inside some really really really meta HL3 advertisement, where we are actually just AI re-enacting the 100 years of hype up until release in the real world.
