banana Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Talking about international protests and such, just look at this positivity and love from Japan. Heart-warming togetherness, hands across borders, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The 'Independent' in anti-democracy tantrum mode [emoji38] Can you just tell us the factual inaccuracies there then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 It's factually accurate, no?FWIW I don't read too much into the popular vote. Trump did amazingly well in the swing states, even winning seemingly unwinnable states like Wisconson and Michigan. If America had Proportional Representation, effectively turning the whole country into one giant swing state, I think Trump would still have won. There's nothing wrong with mentioning the outcome of the popular vote though and I don't doubt that Trump would have been seething had he polled more votes than Hillary (rhyming variants are available) and still lost the election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's obviously true. Come nearer tae hame and Nigel wisnae happy at the last election polling 4m votes for the prize of one seat.

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 On the protests in Britain (and other countries), I don't see what's wrong with protesting against someone who won on a platform of more torture, murdering the families of terrorist suspects, banning foreign Muslims from the USA and making American Muslims sign up to some sort of register. Also one who bragged about sexually assaulting women, was previously accused of rape by his own wife, and ignores all the scientific evidence supporting man-made climate change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct on both counts. Both of them knew the deal here and if Clinton had campaigned well, this would not have been an issue. Trump and his team basically focused on what they thought they could win to get over the line and did just that. If it was down to FPTP, they might well have been able to do the same with that. I see it as a non-point really. The second paragraph is true, but at the same time, the Independent focusing on the popular vote is basically undermiming the way they do things in the US, or worse still, completely ignoring it. It's a complete nothing issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a matter of days, the Trump Tower will open. With the public display of the Trump name, we will be seen as condoning the ridicule of the disabled, and condoning sexism, xenophobia and bigotry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
