You obviously don't know my politics, particularly on PC.Because of all the damage done by you safe space dwellers, we have a lot to fix. Obamacare needs to be repealed, the border secured, our military brought back to primacy, and our economy to grow more than a pathetic 1%. You assholes did this to America and now we have to fix it.You just made my point.Media fictions have no bearing on whether Republicans have a mandate. We won, therefore we have a mandate.So now it's "no such thing in our electoral system". We've moved the goal posts.There's no such thing in our electoral system. It's a media tallying of votes nationwide that has nothing to do with our federal elections.Holy crap.
Clinton, votes to date: 63,049,607
Trump, votes to date: 61,610,484
Bing. There it is. It exists.
There are left wingers here who actually claim that PC doesn't exist. Now we've got right wingers who actually claim the popular vote doesn't exist.
Come on. Is any of this stuff supposed to be taken seriously?
.
Prove me wrong.
A reasonable, curious, honest person will look at those numbers and see that we are split down the middle. And a reasonable legislator will take that into account as they legislate. That is my point. The numbers do matter.
If the GOP wants to pretend they have a "mandate" a chooses to cram a hard right agenda down our throats, they will deservedly pay a price for being so blind.
.
You crybabies did the exact same thing after getting control of government, cramming Obamacare down our throats and shutting Republicans out of the process. There was nothing bipartisan about it. Now we're going to do the same thing to you no matter how much you weep about it.
The Dems overreached and paid the price. Looks like the GOP is proudly gearing up to do the same thing.
Partisans don't learn, they're blinded by their ideology, they're convinced they have all the answers. Both sides.
.
Yours, on the other hand, are clear. Hardcore partisans on both sides simply can't control themselves.
