A question I've heard repeatedly on the news tonight

[cilla4progress]

Where were these crowds on 11/8?

I think Dems and party leadership have some soul-searching to do.

[tinrobot]

1. 3 million marchers... Hillary won by 3 million...

I think that accounts for it.

[still_one]

4. exactly.

[MFM008]

2. These are the crowds

I heard this shit on Gredas show.
65 million poeple voted against him/75 million total.
Even if there 10 million in the streets, still 55 million short.
Many of these people today were democratic voters.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Ironic. It is the media that has the soul searching to do.

[unblock]

5. Didn't a crowd of 65+ million vote for hillary?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Think it's a stupid question. No one...no one who didn't come out for her - supported her -

but didn't come out for her - would not change mind today. BUT - everyone thought she would win. period. paragraph.

[PoliticAverse]

7. "Where were these crowds on 11/8?". 65+ million people voted for Clinton on 11/8...

that crowd vastly out numbers today's crowd.

[cilla4progress]

8. It's not the exact number obviously.

The overwhelming show of support. Turnout. Enthusiasm. Untapped.

9. BULL FUCKIN SHIT !!! Comey, Voter suppression and Russia that's were the crowds were at

[ecstatic]

10. +1000! nt

[LuvLoogie]

11. the electorate has some soul searching to do.

Stop cutting your nose to spite your face

[Trust Buster]

12. I disagree. If a mad man on the campaign trail for 18 months spewing hate and lies didn't motivate

citizens to vote, I doubt the DNC could motivate these non-voters to care about their country. AMERICA needs to look in the mirror IMO.

[Princess Turandot]

13. Why would anyone assume that they did not vote?

The crowds were enormous for public protests, but obviously were nowhere near the number of votes cast. If people are engaged enough to gather and march this way, they probably were engaged enough to vote, a far less arduous task. And it doesn't seem likely that they would have voted for Trump.

[Glamrock]

14. I'm of the opinion

that it took this waste of space being elected to wake people the fuck up. And now, you know, that whole sleeping tiger thing.

[NanceGreggs]

15. Did you miss the fact ...

... that despite the millions on the march today, they are still just a fraction of the people who DID vote for Hillary?

[cilla4progress]

16. I don't think the DNC has been properly managed

For years.

[Caliman73]

19. That may be true...

However, that is a separate issue, unrelated to the protests held today.

[onecaliberal]

17. I'm sorry, but to assume these passionate people did not vote for Hillary is the height

Of ignorance. The election was clearly ripped off. 3 million more votes for Her than the pussygrabbing Russian puppet.

[Caliman73]

18. It is a question designed to distract and divide

Don't fall into that narrative. Remember that Trump's margins in the states that were in question, were very small. There was also indication in those states, many controlled by Republicans, that a great number of people were disenfranchised by Crosscheck, cut backs on voting, and other irregularities.

There was not a clear win, which the people today are just "sour grapes" about. Republicans won because they suppressed voting in every way they could. They know that more people agree with progressive policies so the way that they win is by limiting voter participation.

[cilla4progress]

20. Still...

The people did not hit the streets for Hillary before 11/8 as they did today.

[ProudLib72]

21. Hillary could not lose

That was the idea. That was why people didn't feel the need to march. Hillary was going to trounce tRump. That's what everyone (except those in the know in the RNC and Michael Moore) truly believed.
