What are they supposed to do?
The majority voted for Trump. What more is there to discuss?
Was it truly majority? And is it 100% certain there was no fraud?
I heard in finland's news there was somekind of arson attack at some point which destroyed bunch of votes, while the elections were still going but i have no idea how much. I dont think they would fabricate such news.
They could at least stand behind the messaging from the campaign.
If you call someone a dangerous threat to democracy for a year, and then when they get elected you wish them well and act civil, it really undermines your point about the whole threat to democracy thing.
Exactly. I believe Trump truly is an existential threat to the world and American democracy. To Biden and Harris, it was just campaign jargon.
Wall, I for one appreciate when someone acta civil. Especially when they can't do anything anyway.
Because you have no fight in you. Was MLK civil? More than Malcolm, maybe, but no he wasn't.
Bernie Sanders has more fight right now than anyone in the upper echelons of the DNC.
So you're an idiot.
Rude!
It's okay if your hot take isn't popular, don't take it out on everyone else though..
With effort and imagination, insults can be amusing, interesting, outrageous, or profound.Please give us higher-quality insults, or no insults at all.
He's an idiot screeching for decorum during the fall of the Republic, he doesn't deserve better and coating an insult in wit doesn't change its nature or intent.
Holy hyperbole batman, your reading comprehension might need some work.
Oh, look. They're flocking.
The majority voted for Trump in a country with voter suppression, gerrymandering, and even terrorist threats against voters / poll workers. I don't know what to think of that statistic in light of... many exhausting decades of bullshit.
So what? What are they supposed to do?
Stage an insurrection?
Hah can you imagine? I'm just dubious about Trump having a mandate.
The majority didn't vote at all.
Like in the Trolley problem, not making a choice is itself a choice.
No, and that's their fault.
It's very unfortunate but that's the way it is. Deal with it and stop complaining. Find a good way to win the next election instead.
yeah this stuff is so rediculous. What if they had warned? then the meme would go to the next goalpost or whatever.
