I thought liberals were for the majority, the 99%. Liberals continuously deride Republicans for pandering to the 1%, yet with this latest Donald Trump blitzkrieg, liberals are doing exactly that. Are you guys aware that Muslims constitute only 0.9% of the population in this country? Do you all really think you'll tip the scales by pandering to the 0.9%, many of whom probably agree with Trump?

Not everything in the entire universe is reducible to a popularity contest; there are some principles decent people want to adhere to at any hazard to one's popularity, and this is one of them. But fyi, according to the YouGov poll, the "ban Muslims from entering position" is the losing side 49%-39%.

One more terrorist attack by radical islamists, and it will be at 80 percent to ban.
Do Republicans think they are going to win by vilifying a portion of the country through fear mongering? Oh no, this small group of Americans are gonna take over this country and force us to live by Sharia Law.

It worked for Obama in 2012 with the "war on women" so...
The left doesn't stand up for the majority; the stand up for those they believe need to be stood up for. This can be the minority, but more importantly, it's the "little guy." In the case of wealth based class, it is the 99%. However, Muslims are a group that is being punished across the board for the actions of some among them. All are suffering for the actions of the few.

The left is pandering to the ideals upon which the the nation was founded.

It's not pandering, it's standing up for principle. Perhaps, this poem by Pastor Martin Niemoller will help you understand...
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
I love it...it's a losing strategy. The Jewish (though they are doing their best to toss them aside, the Jews are refusing to leave no matter how hard the Dems try to toss them away) and black vote, they own, the Hispanic vote they have a decided advantage, they are losing a once large majority of Asian voters and are trying to throw away any white voters that are not Communist traitors. If the Islamists pull off a substantial attack (which they want to do), the Dems won't have any power in the US after next election.
