Why did the upper class throw a tantrum?
>>
because the upper class people love to tell everyone, especially the lower class people, they're all about peace and balance and equality. So when tings don't go their way, because they're really about securing more money vs. true equality, they get on social media and encourage a bunch of highly ego-centric mid socioeconomic people it was the fault of the devilish conservative party. So then they go do everything that they've been preaching against for the last 18 months and look like complete fucktards

Democracies where the person with the least votes wins? sure.

Imagine how quickly the electoral college would be crushed if this ever happened to a Republican. McConnell came out after Obama's election saying that their number 1 priority was to make Obama's presidency fail. This time around, Democratic leaders are essentially bowing "in the name of the system." Well the system is fucked, and one party doesn't give a shit about it. While the other has leaders who lack any spine when it steals elections from them.

To all the condecending Trump voters: the right to protest is important in shaping public opinion. Without it we turn in a democracy in name only, like Turkey or Russia.
>>
>>85096
The popular vote doesn't matter unless that's the system the election is run under. Unless it is, the candidates only court the electoral vote. If they were courting the popular vote, they would have campaigned differently, and the result would probably be the same, especially since the popular vote was so close. Many people don't vote because their state is hard blue or red, and it doesn't matter who they vote for.

The popular vote can only be considered relevant if A: everyone voted (almost half the country didn't) or B: the election was based on the popular vote from the start, which would mean the candidates would structure their campaign differently and the results would be different. Otherwise it's an interesting but meaningless statistic.

Not true, it's higher than the 2000 election was. Might also be higher than 2004, but that's unclear so far.
>>
>>85096
But the person with the most votes did win, since the votes that matter are the state's votes, aka the electoral college.

If you thought your legions of illegal spics in California could vote your dumpster of a candidate to victory, then you were sorely mistaken.

This anon makes an excellent point regarding popular vote being roughly half of the US. It amazes me that even this election only attracted half of all citizens. That means that half the people you see everyday don't give a shit what happens to them or this country. Pretty sad.

I do not participate in federal elections specifically because of the electoral college. If no one voted there would still be a President elect the next day and the world would keep spinning. I do vote in local and state elections as those are done by popular vote but only if I feel it is necessary. A lot of what is put to vote is either wasteful or neither options are good and so I abstain.

I do not see it as apathy but a form of voting in that none of the options are viable to me.

I dont completely understand all the hate in this country anymore, we all need to come together and be one people again.

The electoral college gives you more of a chance to make a difference. If all of you nonvoting Democrats had voted, Hillary would have won more states. In fact, that precisely why trump won. Because the working class who hid from pre-election polls came out in record numbers, turning many states red.

Plus, the electoral college gives less populated states more of a say. That means your 1,000,000 votes wouldn't be immediately obliterated by other states with 15,000,000 votes.

Finally, if you're worried about the popular vote, I'd say worry more about faggots like you who don't even vote. Half the country didn't even make a choice, which is pathetic. Why not just have someone decide when you take a shit? Or have your neighbor decide when you use your cell phone?
>>

Drugs are a common habit of weak, shitty, degenerate people, drugs are not, however, de facto degenerate/shitty.

Taxpaying property owners that are legal citizens should be able to vote. They have a stake in, and contribute to the country.

Welfare, if we keep it, should have associated drug tests, however, as you are on welfare, you have proven that you cannot manage your shit, so drugs are inherently bad there.
>>
>>85413
Bullshit. In the US, we have the right to live off of our parents and do absolutely nothing, if we so wish. That person may have an interest in reserving that right, and so should he be allowed. You cannot disallow someone to vote simply because you don't like their personal choices. If that were the case, I'd personally knock on all liberals doors and tell them the good news.

You're well within your rights doing that.

Frankly I'm disgusted by your attitude. I and people like me have been telling anyone who will listen, including you and your liberal/sjw/ friends for years that EXACTLY THIS could happen due to the electoral college system. We've been saying for years that your vote doesnt count, due to the combination of winner take-all elector policies, gerrymandering, and the electoral college? The response we receive, "YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE IT BY VOTING HURR DURR"

You and your ilk were perfectly fine with letting the system stay as it is, either because you believed you were so much smarter than us that we couldn't possibly know more about the system than you, or because it was perfectly hunky dory as long as you got your way.

Lo and behold THE EXACT THING we warned you about happens because your slogans and self assuredness don't Trump reality (pun intended), your candidate loses and now you're all running about the streets throwing a temper tantrum like proper babbies (and yes, I mean babbies, as in 'ho wis babby formed', not 'baby, because as least babies typically cry when they reasonably need something like food or parental care) and filing petitions to subvert the democratic system that you were perfectly content with until the country didn't bow to your whims and give you everything you wanted for slandering it with words like racist, sexist and misogynist.

You deserve this Trump Presidency, maybe itll teach you to listen when somebody presents you with information instead of throwing temper tantrums and shouting names like a rotten brat.

TL;DR: Grow the fuck up.
>>
>>85520
Right? Roughly my feelings, but you stated it better than I care to invest the effort in doing.

It's a broken system, it was broken when it helped them, it's broken when it helps us.

Gerrymandering and the EC have explanations, but winner-take-all policy for voting doesn't, and is in my mind the biggest problem.

Gerrymandering will happen if we create districts, to some degree, sucks, but unless we simply do away with that whole concept/manage to completely uncorrupt politics (hah) it's here to stay. Electoral college could use some tweaking but it's fine in a republic to do such things.
>>
There was a .5% difference in the popular vote. The electoral vote was a crushing 290 to 228. The only people I've spoken to who were emotionally damaged by the elections are wealthy white liberals. In other news, TPP will get flushed down the toilet with Obama when he leaves. That's a shame.

Actually, less Republicans turned out this year than the last presidential election. I can't post the image here, but basically Republican turnout has remained essentially constant the last 3 elections, but Hillary got half the votes Obama did his first campaign.

It was restricted to male landowners for a reason. I am against the male restriction, despite it benefitting me, one household, one vote would make sense, however, restricting it because genitalia does not.

Having a say in how shit is run is important, and politics should not be left to ignorant fuckwits who vote for Hillary 'cuz my pussy, or Trump 'cuz lol-he-has-no-experience-therefore-he's-better.

Your ilk are how we ended up with an escaped mental patient pathological liar beating a zombie-like personality-void pathological liar who would sell state secrets in the choice for the most powerful human being on the fucking planet.

Y'know, I'm not happy it came down to Bad v Worse, but I am happy we chose Bad.

But I called this months ago, and I'm enjoying rubbing it in people's faces that told me I'm stupid, it's impossible... Like, seriously, I went to a Trump rally and a Hillary rally to see if /pol/ was just memeing... Typically blue state, thousands at the trump rally, fucking nobody at the Hillary rally. Small crowd of a few dozen.

It wasn't a meme. I wish I'd bet on it. I bought into the narrative of "hurr no path to 270", figured he could pull it off, but it'd be a squeaker... I should've trusted my fucking instincts, I called this shit before Ann Coulter did ffs (although I didn't take the sheer amount of ridicule she did for it)

basically, Trump ran the dirtiest campaign possible. he made wild accusations, told a constant stream of lies, and promised his supporters all gold plated mansions if they voted for him.

All this, while flirting with white nationalists, denegrating Muslims and Mexicans, and was filmed bragging about sexual assault. Decent people were outraged and horrified. He won, anyway.

Again, he didn't have better ideas, or was a better guy. he had shittier ideas, and was an asshole and a creep, but rednecks voted for him because they don't understand how global trade works, and because Fox News told them that some shit about Hillary's email server was actually a thing that anyone should care about.

if the most qualified candidate got dumped for the least qualified candidate because of cheating, you would be pissed, too.

>>85015
and if Hillary had won, the conservatives would be doing the same thing. remember that shit where the Bundy's occupied a federal building and got into a shoot out because the government decided to stop letting them graze their cattle on land that wasn't theirs?
>>
>>85109
no... about 46% of eligible voters showed up. Trump didn't get many more votes than Romney did, in '08. what happened is that Hillary got millions fewer than Obama.

about half of the Republicans stayed home, while former Democrats, from Union states like MIchigan, jumped ship to Trump.

do you read actual news, or just Breitbart propaganda? take a look at some of the reports of Trump's recent visit to the White House with Obama. or the discussion about this cabinet picks. the man has no fucking clue about how the government works, what the president does, or how the Executive branch operates, much less how the White House operates.

when your whole campaign strategy is lie, talk shit, and let James Comey pull your ass out of the fire at the last minute, that's pretty much cheating.

Remember when they were all acquitted recently, and the only shots fired were by federal agents who killed one of the protestors despite not being armed?

Remember when the Bureau of Land management showed up with armed police and fucking tanks, slaughtered the Bundy's cattle, trashed acres of farmland and hundreds of thousands of dollars of farm and irrigation equipment, and herded the press and protestors into designated free speech zones, in an event eerily similar to whats happening to the #NoDapl protestors?

Remember when the BLM tucked tail and ran when the armed Bundy Protestors refused to disperse and literally marched on them, showing the effectiveness of an armed protest vs an unarmed one?

Remember when liberals weren't fascists who only take issue with events like this when the boot belongs to a private company and not the government?

If they just let cops or national guard shoot the faggots when they start getting riled up, then there would be no riots. Besides, don't you need a permit to protest? I'm pretty sure these guys don't have one, so start cracking some skulls cause they're breaking the law.

Besides, it's retarded that they're already this butthurt about Trump. Better that they keep quiet, because they're just hurting their movement. If they keep on pushing things, it won't be long before liberalism is outlawed in the US, but then, liberals have always been good at suiciding themselves.

Convince me to care about the dredges or losers in society. If we did not provide them aid, their poor problem would correct itself. Either they would find a job, or they would die.

What if they're unemployable or there aren't enough jobs you say? Well then the market, and society has clearly deemed them to be a load. I think that when automation obsoletes half of the workforce, our social programs will become overloaded so we'll end up getting rid of them anyways. And when the great starvation happens, the fierce, life and death competition that comes from it will result in a more efficient and intelligent society. None of this entitlement crap that we have nowadays.

The election system was made that way, if it was entirely by population then the smaller states would be at a disadvantage and politicians would simply try to appeal to the bigger states.

The future is either feudal or communistic. There's no way our current economic/wealth distribution system will be able to function when only a small number of individuals will be able to find employment. We've usually come out better after periods of extreme growing pains during past industrial revolutions, so I'm hoping that holds true today and we aren't dumb enough to let what amounts to a handful of people and their cronies own everything and live like Gods in their gleaming, automated arcologies while almost everyone else starves to death in a post-apocalyptic/post ecological collapse wasteland.

The right to protest is important in shaping public opinion. Without it we turn in a democracy in name only.

more like Unions impact on American Manufacturing
>>
>>87181
Bottom graph isn't wages, but profit output. Unions have lost a lot of power since their heyday in the 70's.
>>
>>87181
Aren't unions the ones who have traditionally fought new technology and automation just because they're worried about losing jobs?
>>
>>87183
The unions are bloated dying parasites on the corpse that is the manufacturing industry.

You'll notice where are the cars made?

in Right to Work states, and Canada and Mexico

It's not a coincidence
>>
>>87191
But that graph says that manufacturing has actually gone up in the US. How can it be a corpse?
>>
>>87191
Unions were a mistake. They had the right idea back in the late 19th century when they shot workers who went on strike.

Also, blue (labor union) states are parasites who suck wealth from red (right to work) states. If it wasn't for the republican states, they would have collapsed under their liberalism a long time ago.

>>87193
Unions and minimum wage are the reasons why employment is down. If it wasn't for those two things, companies would hire more people and there wouldn't be such a push to automate everything.

I live in the US,
WE ARE FUCKED!
The US is so fucked up with it's two party system, It's incompetent jackasses, The fact that we elected a fucking racist businessman, The fact that there is a massive class war that we are calling a race war for reasons that that only a fool would believe, The fact that we cannot, for whatever reason, accept socialism as a political party, The fact that we have a police force that will Murder you for having a broken taillight on your old rusty car, The fact that we have a police force that carries firearms.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The US cannot handle a revolution at the moment,
ISIS and North Korea are ready to attack the second the government falls
And if someone assassinates trump, We will have Pence as leader, And that guy is truly a fascist.

i'm pretty sure the shills are overwhelmed on poll and have come here to get responses. you really shouldn't take the bait.

no way on earth was trump elected solely by the upper class. much the same way black people think they elected obama. they did not. the upper class did not elect obama. the wealthy who control the democrates have decided to try and grass roots the internet.

Oh look, /pol/ bumped a 2 week old thread again. How rare!
>>

There are no riots. There are unemployed students and paid "protesters" who were already protesting anyway. The only disturbance is the dinosaur media, doubling down on the delusions that ended its success.
>>
>>87210
THE US IS NOT FUCKED! seriously these libtards need to go back to classes and not waste parents money.
>>
>>83796
still protesting?!??!!? what !!!! its been so long.. get back to you lives people
>>
>>85751
The Bundy situation was a whole lot different/deep and I think it's a shame that people are gonna be like "hurr durr had to do with cattle it was just a bunch of dumb rednecks".

Also, it is possible conservatives would have been protesting, but this isn't a game of "ifs". we live in the present reality and protests over a system that a month before the results was a "fair" system are turning into riots.
>>
>>85198
The right to protest is important and I, as a Trump voter, full support any and all protests held by the left. I do not support riots and destruction of property, I do not support the call for violence, or the actual violence that is happening. I think anyone that supports the protests that have turned into riots are retarded. I think more people should realize that none of this helps their cause, instead the businesses and people who live near these happenings are hurt.

PS: there are so many condescending trump voters because we were preemptively called babies who when lost would lose our shit and do exactly what the left is doing right now. We are like this because those of us that ARN'T /pol/ incarnate were still nothing but racist evil douchebags who wern't allowed to have an opinion on anything. A lot of us are like this because we put up with the condescending left for nearly the entire election. I'm sorry for the douches, but even if you arn't one of the people mentioned you'd have to have had your head under a rock for the last forever to not know this is true.

What does it matter, some of those people are doing hard time now the ones that plead guilty, that is.

Define to me what millennials are pls. Are they just people who are shitty young adults or people born in the 90s and above?
>>
They are just a demographics segment based on age and some common attributes that marketers use to target products and ads. That said, it has become a bit of a derogatory term lately.

>Voting is a key feature to an oligarchy
Actually, voting is not necessary for an oligarchy to function. They just need it to uphold a pretence of anyone (other than the NSA) actually listening to the people.
>>
>>89085
I am talking about the original definition read Aristotle's politics here is an example.
"I mean, for example, that it is thought to be democratic for the offices to be assigned by lot, for them to be elected oligarchic, and democratic for them not to have a property-qualification, oligarchic to have one; therefore it is aristocratic and constitutional to take one feature from one form and the other from the other, from oligarchy that offices are to be elected, and from democracy that this is not to be on a property-qualification." Aristotle

>Soros literally paid them, so the media not going ape-shit would be quite against the point of the whole thing in the first place.
You guys really have a difficult time understanding why Trump's victory by electoral votes isn't the cause of massive discontent after the clusterfuck of a divisive election season we had?
>>
>>89088
Hey, 50% of the country split. It's just that I can gauruntee noone on the right would be pulling this shit if Hillary won
>>
>>89093

>It's just that I can guarantee no one on the right would be pulling this shit if Hillary won.

Yes, instead the right would be voting from the rooftops. Let's not kid ourselves, we were going to have protests regardless who won, especially with a popular/electoral split.
>>
>>89136
Myself and most others I knew who cast votes for Trump really didn't expect him to win, I don't understand where this trumptard meltdown idea is coming from.

The only people who fully believed he was going to make it from the beginning were deluded /pol/tards and t_D rebbit shitters
>>
>>89136

I wouldn't doubt there'd be protests, but nothing so violent as you imply. We'd be too busy with the panic buying.
>>

maybe not so deluded buddy
