^^^^^ I cant get this to link, but the creator notes that the totals were pulled from the Cook Political Report. The link that pointed me to this link referred to the above as the 'final certified voter returns'
Neither Hillary nor Trump captured a majority of the votes cast.
The big problem or maybe not......these people for the most part are being offered free stuff and being paid.
Take that away and see how many show up! One thing to do something because you believe in it.....being paid to protest is that really protesting?
Are you really that naive and blind. No was paid. All you had to do was to be a part of this on social media to know the passion people had. And they paid their way to come from all over the country. I had friends that came from California, Texas and Florida. Do you think someone else paid them to be here The marches all over the country exceeded expectations. DC was estimated at 200,000 but they got over 500,000. Chicago exceeded expectations, as did every other city. It's estimated 1 million marched in this country. This movement went global in solidarity with people posting pictures of the crowds there in every country. None of us have ever seen anything like this. It was pretty amazing to watch. And it was peaceful. Sorry, but trying to demean people who participated isn't going to work. This is about rights we have that could be taken away under a Trump administration. This is about respect that Trump hasn't shown. This is about so much more. And peaceful protests all over our country is pretty awesome.
But if you want to live in a bubble thinking a million were paid that's your choice. But it's a denial just like Trump does because he and some of you can't handle the truth and therefore have to make up excuses. And this will be included in the history of the Trump presidency......the biggest peaceful march in history for an inauguration, not just in the states but global. Not a great way to start.
This is such a wonderful sight. Hundreds of thousands of women are marching against the misogynist President who just won an election and was inaugurated, even though his female opponent had 3 million more votes than he did.
And when you tally up the women all over the world the numbers are in the millions. Strong, passionate, educated women standing shoulder to shoulder in opposition to him all over the world. From Washington D.C. to Chicago to L.A., to Africa, Australia and across Europe, women are standing together and speaking out.
This makes me proud to not only be an American, but to be a human being. Thank you ladies, I hear you all.
How is Trump misogynistic, because he called Rosie O'Donnell a pig, and was goofing around, talking smack on a hidden video ten years ago??
The point being was made was, if people are going to protest a president, have a freaking reason to do so, other than throwing an immature hissy fit cuz "Hilary lost."
And Trump married his 3 wives and folked his 100's of one nighters because he liked their intelligence and souls???
Are you advocating celibacy? Your post has nothing to do with this topic. I'm curious since you seem so judgmental of Trump's potential number of sexual partners and divorces.
"Women's March", but in reality it was a "we are mad because the candidate we wanted lost" march.
Exactly what are they protesting about? Trump has not done one single thing yet, he has been in office for one day. Protests are usually more effective when there is something specific they are actually protesting about, like a law.
It seems every group, from women groups, to Amnesty International, to Legalize It, to Free the Nipple, were out in force. Large crowds, but not difficult to get large crowds when the protests are being organized on a Saturday in cities that went for Hillary.
As we all know the pink pussyhat is the new anti Trump symbol to fight Trump on women's rights.
I saw a Facebook picture of one of my friends with his wife at a protest and he was wearing one of these pink hats .
To the women out there would you make your men wear a pink pussyhat?
To the men would you wear a pink ***** hat ?
I would not. I thought it was a stupid symbol to begin with, reinforces the color pink and the word itself with women, and would not want to be accused of gender appropriation.
If talking to other men about women in a sexually aggressive manner is misogynistic, then I'm guilty as charged just like 80% of all other straight men out there.
I'm just glad I eventually learned to be sexually aggressive; otherwise, I'd still be practically a virgin. As I posted before, it wasn't until I was in college when I learned most women want the sexually aggressive guy who is kind of a jerk.
If you are a man who wants to capture the sexual interest of a woman, play hard to want.
Wow. No wonder trump won. This is disturbing.
Many (most? i dunno) women do like strong, confident, virile men. And there are women who like softer more pliant men.
A man who is strong, confident and "manly" but who also has an open and loving heart and who has true affection and admiration for women is the "catch of the day" to many women.
I'm not sure what you mean by "sexually aggressive" but there isn't a woman on the planet who actually wants to be violated. Many women are conditioned (often because of sexual abuse as children and/or teen-agers) to tolerate mysoginistic behavior but that doesn't mean a woman wants that.
