    Default Simple Question

    Why have not the DNC, Hillary, Obama, Reid and the rest come out to stop the violent protests?
    They condone it is why. Sore losers. You'd NEVER see Republicans behave this way.

    Protesting, peaceful assembly is good. But to resort to damaging property, hurting others,
    and blocking traffic, is just not part of a peaceful assembly.

    Professional anarchists are involved, fueled and funded by the DNC and MoveOn. You can
    spot them in an instant...they wear bandannas over their faces to hide their identity.

    They've already antagonized and lost the Democratic base. they know Hillary is not a serious liberal, and obama has let them down as well. Now if the establishment left comes out to tell them to "settle down" it will just drive the wedge deeper. Plus they have to see how they play this into new political power for themselves. "never let a crisis go to waste".

    But i suspect that they sent Oprah out to try to calm the masses but some folks just aren't having it.

    Look if Hillary won and Open carry protesters marched on Washington etc. and the ranks began to swell you wouldn't see Paul Ryan or Bush trying to calm the "patriots" during the 1st few days anymore than Obama has by setting an example. Would the protester s be likely to listen to Gingrich or Jeb Bush or Romney. they didn't listen to them about Trump.

    But i think on the left some are in fact paid agitators. But many are probably left over OWStreeters too.

    I would see Ryan telling them to back off, or Sheriff Clarke.

    I agree with you in many ways, but you would not see Open Carry protesters, trashing neighborhoods,
    smashing windows, kicking and jumping on cars, breaking car windows, or pushing and shoving;
    Destroying public property such as police vehicles. That's largely paid agitators.

    1. Why to stop? The game is not over yet. Only in 24 States the members of Electoral College are obligated by Law to vote according to the results of Election in their States. So, there is a chance yet, as the money of investors are involved.
    2. To protest against the results of Elections where were no violations during voting means to act against Election system stipulated by the Constitution of the USA. Isn't it?

    What makes you think they condone it? I doubt Hillary even cares anymore. Why should Obama or Reid care?
    Didn't Trump "condone" violence at his campaign rallies?

    The protests are not instigated or condoned by anyone. They are the product of pissed off fringe groups who want to call attention to their causes. In Los Angeles and Orange Country, protests have been put together by Latino political action groups. Other activist groups put together rallies in Seattle and Portland.

    You may laugh but the majority of electors in the USA voted for Clinton. May be THIS is the main reason to protest?

    Perhaps Balu doesn't understand the concept involved in fair, democratic elections where people actually get to vote for the candidates of their choice.
    Since this process doesn't exist in Russia.

    Then why don't they speak up now, when saying 'peaceful transition'?

    Trump did not condone violence, just have people stand their ground and not take crap
    off barely adolescent protesters. The libs are the aggressors, not the Trumpsters.

    The point is that here in Russia we are more aware about the USA than you about Russia.
    As I see you don't know that we have the direct election system where every voice is counted pro or contra the candidate.
    Besides, 9 candidates from 5 games and a self-nominee participated in the previous presidential election.
    And please be kindly informed that we have deputies of FOUR Parties in our Parliament.

    But I do! I know what your electoral college is and HOW you voices are counted, as well as about your Mass Media and the active President pressure.
    I can imaging what the screeching around the world could be should Putin happen to travel across the country campaigning for the candidate of the party he sympathize.
    And in our country it is impossible to without presenting an ID.

    That won't happen, Balu. The Electors who will cast the official ballot are Republican electors.

    Yes, there is talk by those that lost the election about something like that happening, but those are fools who have no idea of who the electors are or how the system works.

    2. To protest against the results of Elections where were no violations during voting means to act against Election system stipulated by the Constitution of the USA. Isn't it?
    Yes.

    The protesters are uneducated opportunists, and we suspect the majority of them are being paid by George Soros.

    No, Balu.

    The popular vote and the electoral college vote are two different things.

    Here, watch this video - it explains it very well :

    Precise!
    And this is a controversy when President can be elected by the minority of voted electors in your whole country. The same happened in 2000 when Bush scored a minority but won Gore.

    It's not a controversy when the reasons for the Electoral College are understood.

    Our Founding Fathers were very wise men.
