I meant your voting/vote counting were democratic, no?

Depends on who you ask. Currently our liberals are whining so loudly they get mistaken for runway engine tests on Atlas missiles. See, they lost. The system's corrupt!

If you mean, was this vote conducted under what most people would consider honest election rules? Yes. Republicans lose sometimes also but don't snivel over Electoral College "rigging." That's a Demo-gogue's trick.

Public marches are being organized in every major city to protest Trump's inauguration, don't these people have jobs? I actually got invited to some sort of women's march on Friday morning, just because I'm a woman.
This is all ridiculous to me, Trump won, your democracy still works, time to move on and go to work.

Protesting is there're part time jobs.  But they don't always get paid for it.

YES! Thank you, this is what I meant to say

You just snagged an opinion piece from a leftist rag hell bent on destroying our Republic.
We are a Representative Republic, meaning we have laws governing our election process where the smaller states and counties get an equal say in the process.
Had we been a Democracy, Clinton would have won because the East and West coasts carried the popular vote.

Honestly, no disrespect, please remember I'm not American or even North American, I have no way of knowing whether the news source is left or right.. I'm slowly learning.

It takes some time. Some of the MSM are pretty clever at covering their true intentions.

Ok, thank you

No big, I knew what happened, so try phrasing it differently, like "Why did the Founders go with a Republic over that of Democracies?"

I'm so glad you posted that, I was searching diligently to find it.
is this even in our library yet?

Let's see;  alleged Trump collaboration with Julian Assange/Wikileaks... bad.
Chesea Un-man ning's proven collaboration with Julian Assange/Wikileaks... good.

'Commuted' mean still guilty, but just doesn't have to serve-out the 28 years of prison-time left.

I guess manning's sex-change worked.   -Played right into obama's sweet spot.

The pressures on Bo Bergdahl to become 'Brenda'.

What a disgrace.

I saw this and my first thought was, the message they're sending traitors, is, they receive a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

Why don't they ask b o?

It's probably wrong to even ask, but here goes:

Given two Prison Inmates, who were convicted of the same crime, and given similar sentences, is there any evidence that Obama is more inclined to Pardon an American of African Ancestry than an American of European Ancestry ?

Similarly, is he giving preference to Inmates who hold to any particular Religion ?

I've googled and have found no answer.

And I'd hate to accuse the current POTUS of Racial or Religious Prejudice with no data or facts.

I think the one underlying factor that links all of his pardons, is most likely "Death To America".
If it injures the nation, then it deserves a pardon.

Here in Boston, we are waiting patiently for Obama to pardon Muslim Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Although it would be a repulsive act, such a high-profile pardon would elicit such outrage, even among the most ardent Democrats, that it would taint Obama's sad legacy forever.

Which is why he will resist doing so
