Just why is it liberals have such a hard time accepting the result of a democratic vote?
I wasn't really that interested in politics back in 08 but I never really recall any conservatives throwing a massive hissy fit when obama won.
I'm A britfag and still over 6 months later im having to deal with people not willing to accept the result of the referendum, constantly calling for a second vote or trying their utmost to get the inevitable delayed through exhausting court proceedings.
And now a fresh wave with the American election its just been a constant 6 month barrage in the media of liberals simply refusing to accept that this is democracy, and they lost.
I'm not really interested in debating the brexit or trump result in this thread, im more interested in finding out why liberals simply can't accept the result.
Is it just the vocal minority, and most of you are decent democratic loving people that although not happy with the result, you're willing to accept it?
Or am I just fortunate enough to have been a conservative just at a time conservatism is winning, and we'd be just as unable to accept the vote if it went the other way?
TL;DR; why can't liberals accept this is democracy?
>t I never really recall any conservatives throwing a massive hissy fit when obama won.
This is the stupidest thing anyone will read on the internet today.

Like I said, britfag, was 18, american politics was pretty low on my list of things to be upset about.

Oh they did. They were convinced he was going to create a brown shirt army and have them all made political prisioners. Said he's not my president. Shot like that. I know cuz I was one of them. Then I got over it. Republicans complained, but not anything like democrats are doing. But what you didn't see Republicans doing was going out aND attacking Obama supporters. Who's the violent ones now liberal cucks
Jonathan Carter
It wasn't always like this OP.
Liberalism is a shadow of what it once was, hijacked by your run-of-the-mill champagne socialist extremists, feminazis and bureaucratic bastards.
Conservatism too is now owned by cooporations when once it stood for traditional values. These traditional values are now whatever the corporations want you to buy i.e credit and mortgages are all a part of the 'dream'
In the end, everyone has had far too much choice and people have grown independent minds to politics is no longer simple. It's complete chaos and probably the beginning of the end of the current systems we have in place

They went full LARP-hissy fit when Obama won.

How many buildings got burned down? How many highways got blockaded? How many people did the tea party retards attack because said person dident vote how the tea party wanted them too?
Sebastian Morris
1. They had a MASSIVE shit fit when Obama won. 2. You've effectively ended America with your choice. Thats why smart people are upset.
Joshua Hill
Should have never used the monkey's paw.

Liberal have turned into self righteous authoritarian moral crusaders. They're just like Islam's religious police, they just have different sets morals. they're incredibly dangerous and have to be stopped.
Christian Foster
Yes the cosericucks threw a huge hissyfit. The birther movement for one (which D.Trump endorsed). And when he announced the economic stimulus package the conservitards lost their shit completely
Ian Hughes

Bentley Rodriguez
Because that old cunt lost despite cheating
Jace Collins
When Obama won Republicans lost their shit - considered it the end of America, a win for the Taliban etc. They tried to have him impeached for years insisting he wasn't American ffs.
It depresses me that there are people on Sup Forums now too young to remember Obama becoming President
Brody Martinez
That's odd, because I don't recall hordes of shit kickers flooding the streets and assaulting people because they didn't get their way.
Off yourself.
Christian Mitchell
The birther movement? You mean the movement Hillary started when she was running against Obama in the primaries and lost to him even though she had the popular vote yet nobody on the left seemed to care?
Brayden Gutierrez
You are right. OP is a retard. The USA are not a democracy, they are a constitutional republic. And the member states have spoken, after determining their votes by a democratic votum within their respective populations. So the majority of majorities has won. Deal with it :^)
Levi Foster
>I never really recall any conservatives throwing a massive hissy fit when obama won Then you weren't paying attention.
They didn't really go nuts about voter fraud. They went nuts because he was black.

No dipshit. The minority won through a retarded system.

for months on end though?
Xavier Martin
Because "progressive" is newspeak for communist. Democracy isn't their goal. Plus, the left is largely LGBT agenda driven and they're terrified they'll lose their special treatment.

And now liberals go nuts about sexism. They wanted a vagina to win, regardless how corrupt her accompanying person was.

If you're a Britfag then you'd know the Democrats are about as liberal as the Tories, m8.

William Price
I'm a libtard I believe liberal policies solve many of societies problems. I also know and accept Donald Trump is my president. I've been making a ton of money off of Trump's win and will continue to do so for much of his presidency. I was doing pretty well off to start with. Most of Donald Trump'supporters supporters won't be able to take advantage of his for the rich policies. Point is you give food to poor people so they don't rob you in desperation. I think the extreme liberals just don't want to be on the wrong side of history when these decisions fail. If Brexit destroys your economy, of Trump bankruptcy the nation and causes more terrorism, libtards want to be able to say I told you so.
Ryan Wood
kek, they never stopped.
Hudson Flores
Say it with me liberals afraid of a Trump presidency, "Thanks Obama."
Anthony Roberts
Go ahead then pal. Find me a credible source that has actual proof of Republicans going to the streets rioting, looting, setting cars and buildings on fire, attacking people that are just walking down the street, blocking off public areas, and being dumb enough to get hit by cars on the freeway.
Chase Rogers
ty for embarrassing yourself mr buttblasted shitlib.

Why do you Britfags feel you have any kind of right to have an opinion on American politics and speak about it as if it's your own issue? Honest to God, it's only Britfags. I see this all the time on Sup Forums

Third Term Obama!
Connor Ward
You mean the retarded system that elected the last, black president? The retarded system that pays for student loans? The retarded system that pays wellfare to any social reject that the ghettos produce? The retarded system that defends your life and freedom to come here and call it bullshit? The retarded system that the founding father implemented to build the greatest nation ever witnessed on this globe?

Dylan Clark
Liberal here. I and all the liberals I know do accept the vote, even if we don't agree with it. Donald's claim that Russian hacking is a false flag liberals are using to delegitimize his win is a fucking joke. The Russians may very well have hacked republicans too, and there is bipartisan support for investigating this because republicans know that Russia will hack any American party that suits heir interests
Xavier Watson
>I can't think of a reasonable response >lol i watch south park XD
Still waiting for you to off yourself.
Kayden Roberts
More people approve of Obama than most presidents at the end of their term. His support of Clinton won the popular vote. Trump is the least popular president elect on decades. Trumps supporters just think the government should make their lives easy. Seems like they are afraid of the hard work to get ahead. What do I know I'm liberal because I'm a richfag? I'm a Democrat and Trump can't hurt me. I wonder how much damage Trump will do to his supporters.

Has anyone noticed how the same SJW's that deride and ridicule people who say "Not all men" and cite that it's obvious that they mean not every single individual male, but as a systemic problem men are by and large culpable for the oppression of women, turn around and scream "Not all Muslims" at the mere hint of suggesting that Islam might need some fundamental re-tuning before it can adapt to western culture.
Just throwing this out there.

so, liberals? social Marxists? Feminists?

Because our green and pleasant land will be some sort of nuclear crash pad for you when either of us does something stupid in the direction of the East.
One of these things don't belong on this list. And I was talking about the electoral college, not the system as a whole.
Joshua Hill
That story has been disproven. It was a crazy Hillary supporter, not her campaign, and anyway it doesn't excuse trump from pushing the batshit "issue" for YEARS.
Anthony Cook

Ethan King
Are you stupid? They should be shitting themselves with joy that Trump got elected. He supports Brexit, so does Putin. Now it's 3 on 1 for that back stabbing cunt Merkel. The niggerification/mudslimation of Europe can finally be halted.
Oliver Rodriguez
Because liberalism has been hijacked by mental children who don't even pretend to care about core liberal principles like free speech
Dominic Cruz
You're against the electoral college why, exactly? Because you feel minorities shouldn't have a voice?
Nicholas Morales
Auto correct. You can focus on that or you can answer the question- how many buildings did trump protesters BURN DOWN?
Brody Foster
>And I was talking about the electoral college First time we hear such loud complains about it, regardless how close votes in the past were.
First time we teach social marxism on universities...
Coincidence?
Logan Sullivan
“The idea of going after Obama’s otherness dates back to the last presidential election — and to Democrats,” Bloomberg News reported. “Long before Trump started in, Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, recognized this potential vulnerability in Obama and sought to exploit it.
“In a March 2007 memo to Clinton (that later found its way to me), Penn wrote: ‘All of these articles about his boyhood in Indonesia and his life in Hawaii are geared toward showing his background is diverse, multicultural and putting it in a new light,’ he wrote. ‘Save it for 2050. It also exposes a very strong weakness for him — his roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and his values,’ ” Bloomberg reported.

It completely undermined the voice of the majority. That is unacceptable and undemocratic
Leo Lopez
Why do Trump and Brexit supporters feel the need to be bad winners? Why do they try and rub it in? I think they are afraid they are on the wrong side of history. Like a dog chasing cars that caught one, now what? If Brexit fails, liberals say I told you so. If Trump fucks up liberals gain political ground. It's real easy to criticize, let's see how those who supported questionable decisions deal with the heat. So far they cling to the "win" and ignore the bad signs already showing themselves.
Gabriel Jones
>taking shit far too seriously
I'll bite
Obama won his election to the White House with a significant popular majority of voters, as well as the majority of votes in the Electoral College.
By contrast, Trump lost the popular vote by more than two million votes, and conducted a campaign that expressly gave his permission to his supporters to hate-talk people of color, Hispanics, Muslims, women, media workers, other ethnic and religious miniorities and companies with extended operations in the new extra-national capitalist economy, persons who favor liberal political and social opinions, and persons of the LGTBQ community.
So you're asking a question trying to reach a conclusion that, in historical context, isn't a fair one.
No, people were not closing streets and protesting about Obama. Republicans didn't have the need to. But to say Conservatives completely accepted Obama and got on with their lives is bullshit. He was hated and still is.
Now, go enjoy your failing and increasingly poor Britfag utopia
Lincoln Campbell
You must be blind and deaf.
Theres several boards going on right now on this site crying about Obama doing what he does best, pissing off republicans.
Christian Harris

I've been against the electoral college since before this election. I've always thought it was stupid. I used to be a republicunt, and I thought it was stupid then as well.
Ethan Ortiz
ROFL. The smugness emanating from every MSM news channel on election night was stifling. Steven Colbert had a special on cable TV dedicated to "rubbing it in" when Trump was supposed to lose.
Cameron Davis
America is a Republican. Not a democracy. We use democratic ideals, but not in pure form.

Criticizing Trump has already lead to talk of censoring media. Donald Trump has already suggested in a more controlled Internet. Go to Russia and dissemination on Putin.

Global fascism is more likely than global communism given who's in power across the globe
Levi Lee
Trump states 25%. Labeled as false not because it's wrong, but because it's not representative of all Muslims. How does 25% imply all Muslims? They're agreeing with the statement, but labeling it FALSE based on something HE NEVER SAID OR IMPLIED. If that's not obvious bias, then I don't know what is.
Sebastian Williams
>the bad signs already showing themselves.
You mean like the FTSE 100 finishing the year at the highest point in history?
Hur dur mah majority! Lol you mean the .02% more that dumb cunt got? Yeah sit the fuck back down cuck.
Bentley Flores
and that's a GOOD thing. Not saying these people are fascists, they actually aren't, but regardless how you picture thm, YOU should be glad that they are in power, and not the retards who'd utilize you as useful idiot. You will come to realize that in about 3-5 years.
John Thomas
Uh they shut down the gov because the sand nigger pres we got was shiting all over the constitution.
Leo Ortiz
it's not exclusively a constitution republic, retard. the US can be classified as a democracy, liberal democracy, constitutional republic, etc.
none of these labels justify the electoral college because every single election in this country is determined the same way, except for the presidential election.
Isaiah Brooks
That has fuck-all to do with the birther conspiracy. Try really hard to focus on the actual topic at hand. I believe in you.
Juan Thompson
The EU referendum wasn't a vote, it was an opinion poll.
No one of any importance said we shouldn't leave the EU, they simply said parliament should be given the powers to decide the terms rather than one unelected bureaucrat; May.
After all, wasn't the EU referendum about restoring parliamentary power from the unelected?
By trying to curtail parliaments say in all this, the politicians behind leave have made it clear they're not interested in democracy at all. They want their say and their say alone, despite a majority of people in the UK not voting leave.

The FTSE 100 finishing high has little to do with the general health of the economy as a whole. All it tells us, really, is that those 100 companies are doing great and things are ticking along nicely for British people at the moment. All it takes is one bad day and the plummet can happen instantly. The market is more fragile than fine china
Colton Baker
Nah, it was literally petty obstructionism because they lacked the votes to do anything useful. Also since when are blacks "sand-niggers?" Don't be retarded
