The ethical argument for this being that Clinton won the popular vote, so she deserves to win the election. It didn't work for Gore, why should it now? And this connects back to the original article, a move like this would exemplify how elites run the country so much so that they will overturn the results of an election that was both fair and democratic.

It's possible. but the likelihood of Trump suddenly becoming a Democrat is higher. Don't count on it. Protest to let your voice be heard, not to cause a civil unrest between pro- and anti-racists.

Oh it could, it doesn't matter if she concedes. Grassroots activism could force the colleges hand if its strong enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's likely to work, I was just answering the question that depending on what happens, there is a way Clinton could still win albeit a very, very small chance.

My flop country could shoot down a Russian fighter jet and got away with it. I am sure Russia would try to invade Turkey if they wanted to invade a NATO country On this field a Trump presidency helps: Russia wants to show that it is open for talks with the US and thus will not try to offend Trump or invade other countries. and Russia could never invade Turkey. Turkey is too nationalistic to be invaded (something like with the coup would happen), and the US has so much interest in having Turkey as NATO territory that it would drop nukes on Russia. If Russia is going to invade countries, it's going to be non-NATO territory like Ukraine and Georgia and possibly, if tensions rise a lot, Estonia or Latvia.

A chance so slim, it's not really worth discussing or mentioning. 5 minutes ago, malazam said: I'm not from the US but I think everyone needs to spread this.... More than 100k are protesting in New York See my first post; this is unethical. Obviously American people have cast their votes and the results have been fair. There is no room for disunity, close-mindedness, and false-hope. Trust the system. If you wish to use your voice (as you should), let it be in response to how President Trump has performed, not how he will hypothetically preform.

Shipper 13,114 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It's veterans day on friday. I wonder if they voted for Hillary or Trump... I feel like protesting is so futile right now but if there is a sliver of hope, I might actually participate. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
