    "Reproductive Justice"

    LMAO. Sandra Fluke wanted the government to pay for the most expensive birth control whilst spending 100K on her political campaign. These protests are a political farce and meltdown.

    The majority of voters did not vote for Clinton. That is not true. Learn the facts, before exposing your ignorance.

    I'm guessing either you do not know the basics of math or you've just decided to plug your ears and pretend that more people voted for Trump.

    Maybe by "voters" he's referring specifically to electors.

    1) irrelevant because that's not the way our democracy works or has worked when designed by our fore father.

    2) don't get me wrong, i'll be very clear. I don't care about those things right now. for me, economic system, medical system, education system, are the most important thing and social issues (except drugs, should all be legal) are lower on the pecking order.

    i'm not dismissing them directly. i'm dismissing their ideas. woman are not more important than men and vice versa. I oppose any ideology that divides humanity into groups. there is and should only always be one group.

    You're just making yourself look more ignorant. Majority means over 50%. Hillary did not get a majority of votes - either popular votes and certainly not electoral votes. You don't even know the facts.

    1.) Relevant to the point YOU were trying to make. "The unhappiest are usually the loudest but that doesn't represent an overall majority necessarily." You said these people are not the majority, more people voted for Clinton.

    2.) The problem with this line of thinking is that it ignores marginalized groups and basically tells them "When I get mines, THEN you can get yours." as you can imagine, such groups will disagree.

    Also, that march wasn't about women vs men. Men were in it too.

    Haha...you realize that Trump didn't win over 50% of the votes right?

    You realize you don't know what 'Majority' means, right?

    Let's consult Merriam-webster...
    1.the greater number.

    Oh, why thanks dictionary! Surely Bigtexx will admit that he was wrong here. Surely he knows a bit of humility and admit such...

    OK, a plurality of votes voted for Clinton. There. And the point he was trying to make is that more people wanted Clinton to be President than they wanted Trump to be president.

    Plurality is the correct denotative word (but based on your reference, that is also a definition of majority). But, let's face it, connotatively, anyone would know what you meant, except for ...well, you know, him.

    Methinks you doth protest too loudly. Based on the numbers at these worldwide rallies, and that your boy received less votes than Clinton (yes, I'm now calling him your boy, for obvious reasons), there are definitely a lot of people that care. They got over losing to Reagan and Bush HW and Bush W. There's a reason they're having a hard time getting over Trump. If I need to explain why, then we've got some reading to do.

    Of all people, you should be wholeheartedly behind these protestors (people smashing limos and throwing rocks at police are not protestors- they are criminals). Are you suddenly having amnesia about how truly bad our new President is? Don't make me go quoting your 100s of quotes denouncing him- too much work- and you know it, anyways. You know how much of a **** Donald Trump is, and he has no one to blame but his own mouth.

    1) unhappiest are the loudest and yes trump received majority of electoral vote which is what matters. popular vote as a number doesn't matter for many good reasons.

    2) the only people marginalizing groups are themselves. they need to be inclusive if they want the other side to listen. inclusion is the answer and a march called woman's rights or black live matters are divisive. they gotta be smarter about it.
