Protesting is good as far as it goes but keep in mind that as a businessman he has other leverage points.

If you are currently doing business with him quit.

If you are doing any business with anyone that does business with the Trumps or any business with Trump in their name, let them know you are choosing to go elsewhere and why.

Isolate the Trumps. Hurt them by hurting their P&L.

He may have gotten the bubba vote but that is not the demographic whose cash supports his lifestyle.

Protests are understandable but Protesters need to organize for 2018. Take back the house.

I wish there had been more protests against Trump in the voting booths in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, and North Carolina.

How silly. What percentage of those protestors didn’t vote? I’m sure Trump and his supporters see “protests” as game winning touchdowns. They love that shit.

More people than that showed up for Trump rallies. Even more showed up for Bernie Sanders rallies. They should really be protesting the Democratic Party. The Democrats really blew this one, big time. They nominated the wrong person.

For all of you still grumbling about “electability,” you’ve permanently lost your right to lecture the rest of us on who we should support as candidates. After all, you lost an election to Donald Trump.

Should’ve. Fucking. Voted.

Sanders assumed that losing nearly an entire region was going to be no big deal. Politics doesn’t work like that and Sanders isn’t bulletproof either.

so is that why you sat out?

Bernie lost because he waited too long to court the A.A. vote. After winning New Hampshire, his whole strategy was to talk to Al Sharpton? He blew it, get over it!!!

*Clinton’s victory was clear-cut(4 million votes).

It’s not silly to protest. It is the first step in fighting back. Who knows what will come of it? But I guess your preference is that all of the good people in this country remain isolated in our private dens of agony.

and another thing about Sanders

he stood in front a lectern and he told those folks who voted for him, that a protest vote against the Democrats was a vote for Trump.

He told his supporters that a third party vote was a vote for Trump.

Tell me again about how much you listened or revere Sanders? I’ll wait.

It looks like they got rid of McCrory in NC and I was very happy to see Joe Arpaio noted racist lose.
This is where you win . In the trenches

Exactly. Democrats won the Presidential Referendum. What are Ryan and Trump going to about the Democrats’ majoritarian mandate? How do Democrats mobilize against this blue moon plurality? How do Rs plan govern in the true spirit of democracy?

EDIT: I’ve said this elsewhere but I will keep saying it. Only one other time in 112 years has the President not won the popular vote–when George Bush won. We kept quiet then, intimidated and naive. Not any more. It’s vital for Ds, once the formalities of the power transfer have been enacted, to talk about their popular majority and force this into the national political vocabulary. Trump’s victory must be characterized truthfully, as a quirk of the electoral college. He lost the presidential referendum. He enjoys power because of a Bush fluke.

I don’t have any problem with folks not protesting. It’s what it is.

However I agree with Richard on this: had enough folks voted blue in heavily Democratic enclaves…

but hey lookie there

Vote and protest. A protest is an embryo of an organization.
