Mighty ironic. When Trump failed to commit to fully accept the outcome of the election without questioning it, Hillary called it "horrifying" and went on to say "This is a mind-set. This is how Donald thinks, and it's funny, but it's also really troubling. That is not the way our democracy works. We've been around for 240 years. We've had free and fair elections. We've accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them, and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election."

Now look who's unwilling to accept the outcome of the election... Turns out it's actually her supporter's mindset. Actually how they think. And it's really troubling.

First she lacks the teprament to concede the race the night she lost it. Now her supporters lack the temprament to accept the result at all. Where is the media crying for her to collar her supporters? If things were reversed you know they would be calling on Trump (and every Republican in office) to denounce these tactics.

@3, it's the pure hypocrisy of the modern regressive left.

And if there were protests like this with Trump supporters had Clinton won The Stranger staff and most commentators would be screaming that the protesters were sexist pigs. That I can promise you and the funny thing is The Stranger staff won't deny that wouldn't have been the case.

@1,2,3 You must remember that Hillary won the presidential vote; it is the electoral college vote that is giving the presidency to trump. The last time this happened america got bush as president and he drug us into multiple wars, and collapsed our economy into the Great Recession.

You are being a little unfair.
To 9 year olds.
This is really more of a Terrible Twos tantrum…..

So true.
Perhaps the most classless act in political history was Hillary leaving her pathetic supporters sadly weeping and sobbing, alone in the convention center election nite, before finally sending a lackey at 2am to tell them to go away...

We feel these kid's pain.
They shouldn't have to put up with this shit.

You kids should really consider seceding.
Don't let the door hit your skinny asses on the way out….

@5 so it's still just a temper tantrum. But what does this accomplish? Show me what tangible measurable change this will do? How will these massive wastes of time prevent Donald Trump from taking the oath of office on January 20? Unless you have a way of taking control of NORAD and a couple navy carrier groups anything else is a bunch of bullshit bitching.

Our side lost and instead of crying like bitches I'd suggest those protesters figure out why the orange man won. Stop being triggered and start acting like adults.

And let me put this right here:

I wrote it before and will again.

You're WELCOME leftists and progressives. Donald Trump saved your party and no longer are you shackled to the fetid corpse of the Clinton Crime Family. Now you can focus on fixing your corrupt and rigged party Democrats.

And you've got to admit, this must sting.
When you can't even win a rigged election What Kind of Fucking Country is it?

remember, kids:
Join the Resistance!

but don't just think of yourselves.
this is hard for us too.
we had a whole bunch of jokes ready to rib Donald about being the first guy in the history of the republic to lose a presidential election to a girl and then Hillary had to go and fuck it up.

@16 but when conservatives protest you (and I do mean YOU blip) have called it hate speech that must be stopped.

@16: They seem to be pointing and laughing, not claiming the protesters should be stopped or anything like that.

@19 "Stockholm syndrome is real. "

It's especially evident when self-proclaimed progressives claim that progressive ideas like single payer health care or progressive taxation or getting money out of politics can't win

@22 "You want to talk about this now? "

There is no better time to discuss losing strategies like arguing incessantly that we can't mobilize voters around progressive goals.

@23 come on. I can only go on what you write and I didn't see you going after those who claimed that only milquetoast triangulating could win this election but you clearly said that Sanders couldn't win because of his progressive platform.

@22 "I suggest you revisit the right-wing paranoia"

and I suggest you consider the refusal of Democrats to propose health care reform that people want (clearly not Romney care) or put another way, the refusal of Democrats to mobilize their constituency around PROGRESSIVE proposals.

@23 "In 2016 we do have neither the political will nor the Congress"

that's circular. We can't now, because Democrats didn't provide the means to get there while regressives managed to hold on and increase their stranglehold with a dismal 27% of registered voters.

@29 "even that was a step too far for a lot of people"

see, you are doing exactly what you claim you aren't doing, i.e. insinuating that single payer can't pass because too many people (~27% of registered voters) may believe the ACA goes too far.

"whatever weird obsession"

right, the Democrats' Stockholm syndrome that just gave the election to Trump is a weird obsession of mine

Neither party has any real answers for the people of this country. Most people are struggling to survive from day to day. We have the largest prison industrial complex in the world and the largest military industrial complex. Wall Street and the banks are to blame for this, not undocumented workers and homeless people who are the first in line victims of this economic system. The greed and selfishness of many of the privileged is being challenged now. Expect more uprisings from the disadvantaged and their allies. Selfish, corrupt and greedy rich people have themselves to blame for their lack of decency and humanity. We will not stay your flunkies.
