The right didn't demand recounts, the right didn't send death threats to electors, the right didn't terrorize major cities, the right didn't boycott the inauguration, the right didn't send death threats to entertainers who were set to perform at Obama's inauguration.

The right handled their loss like mature adults, the left is handling it like immature babies throwing a temper tantrum.

The question you have to ask yourself is why you care so much about this meaningless drivel and not getting big money out of politics. Is it because you see politics as some type of football game? What prevents you from seeing the extremely damaging influence special interests and the ruling billionaire class have on American democracy?

Influence from special interests can be easily tracked by looking at large donor contributions to each candidate. Would you like to compare Hillary Clinton vs Trump in this category? Wanna show a graph? I could, and its NOT gonna make Clinton look very good at all. She is the exact opposite of getting "big money out of politics". I'll take a self funded man any day over the likes of bought off people like her.

Why can't people care about both?

Quite frankly, I'm noticing a new trend of asking people why they care in an effort to manipulate and shut down discussion.

Yes, the ideal that the right has acted like the dems are not is not even remotely factual, in fact it is an outright lie.

That would be a really good question to ask all the liberals who've threatened the lives of the performers, threatened to shut down businesses that were too "pro-Trump" and just generally threatened anyone that didn't absolutely believe exactly what they believe.

Why do they care so much? I'd think if they truly cared, they'd have put more effort into getting a candidate that had a better chance of winning. Guess not.

It is a sad thing to witness how low people are going. I couldn't stop hearing the backhanded comments all holiday season. Me trying to keep the peace for the most part didn't say anything, except I did point out the obvious in a couple points, in which they had no rebuttal. Because there was none.

It was so bad we couldn't say a particular suite in playing cards was "trump". Very pathetically sad.

Yes, Tom Steyer and George Soros SHOULD stay out of politics.

Democrats have a selective memory when it comes to bad behavior.
