Stop trying to stifle another poster's opinion to bolster your own. It doesn't foster discussion.

they think that protesting enough will lead to getting their way, and there is a petition going around to overthrow the election.

Will they succeed?, most likely not but if this is the trend then in the future they may.

Trump's election will stand, don't worry. These protests and marches are less about overturning Trump than they are about solidarity for all of the groups he maligned and insulted during his campaign, and a very unsubtle message of, "We're not going anywhere for the next four years, and we'll be watching and criticizing what you do."

Why are we so worried about this? Seriously? They can't do that. The petition is useless. You could vote 1,000 times as one person. Children and people from other countries can sign it. How about we all stop believing everything we see on the internet.

True, however the fact that they are attempting it tells me a lot and I am convinced that if they COULD pull it off a vast majority of the left wouldn't object in the end.

I am here to tell you that a vast majority who voted red, would condemn this behavior if it was Trump losers acting this way.

Imagine that. A revolt against a leader who doesn't represent your best interest.

How un-American!

Is it the "across a ocean" part that gave their protests legitimacy in your eyes and condemns today's protesters?

Just wondering.
