True, but that wasn't what I said. When someone says the majority of apples are green, what does that mean? Dandorotik also completely understood what I meant because he understands context.
I read all that, and the best I can tell is this protest was about abortion and maybe Trump? Am I missing something? 3 million people protest and nobody can sum up what it was about with a fairly concise statement?
Pretty much. If you took a random sampling of 10 people from the crowd and asked them all "what is this rally about?" you'd get 10 totally different answers. The only consistency is "we don't like Trump". That's it. It's basically a gigantic liberal circlejerk that is many days late and many dollars short.
Thanks So Bobby is correct, they were whining about losing the election and should have done something 8 months sooner. Fair enough... Where can I get one of those pink hats?
I didn't see any whining about the election, although it would be *great* to have a national conversation about the problems with our electoral process and governance system. The topics represented seemed to be women's reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, racial criminal injustice, environmental protection, immigration reform, religious tolerance, and healthcare expansion.
It is at 59% right now. http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/gallup-daily-obama-job-approval.aspx That is when I posted.... DD
43% of Republicans thought he was a Muslim so that's not bad. I don't recall any of the previous white Presidents being thought of as foreign, Muslim, or secretly trying to destroy America.
You posted facts and I did likewise. You can pretend Obama isn't black and that 43% of Republicans thought he was a Muslim if you want but then you'd just be pretending. What is his approval rate among the 43% of Republicans who thought he was a Muslim? I'm betting pretty bad. Maybe if 43% of Democrats thought W was an alien trying to destroy America then we could get a good comparison of approval rates.
And here our principles as humans differ. I will take debt of $ over debt of dignity and quality. A lack of cash over a lack of any basic morals. Does it make u feel tho better? Forget that your president is a p***y beloved by nazis and racists?
Just so I understand: A few hundred thousand protestors in 2010 = "Tea Party patriots watering the tree of liberty and defending freedom against the threat of encroaching liberalism." Millions of people march in 2017 across the country = "Whiners who lost an election, get over it babies." Thanks for the mental workout this morning, y'all. My brain feels limber after jumping through so many hoops.
Well 2010 was an election year and the president at the time had been president for a year at that point and had actually pushed policy that people disagreed with, in short, there was a reason to protest by then and it produced results. The election of 2010 took the majority in the house away from Obama and the Democrats lost 5 seats in the senate dropping their control of the senate to just 3 votes (technically 4 due to the tiebreaker being the VP). Now of course, what you meant to say was 2009, not 2010, and then it would be different. I disagree with anyone who protested Obama before he did anything protest worthy (for example anyone who protested the week he was sworn in) because that would just be whining over losing an election. If Trump already was pushing some legislation or policy that was protest worthy, and the reaction to it was people in the streets, it would be totally different than people in the streets merely as a reaction to Trump's inaugural, that's whining over losing an election.
Oddly, "the DNC" didn't vote for Donald Trump. The vast majority of Democrats did not vote for Donald Trump. Most of the people here on this forum pointing out Trump's lies and unethical actions did not vote for Trump. So instead of deflecting blame for all the votes Trump did receive to those who are blameless... perhaps you should look at those that did vote for Trump. Such as the very people I posed my question to...
