The most annoying thing to me is the hypocrisy. When Trump said he MIGHT not concede if he has reason to suspect the election was rigged (I do believe this is ridiculous), people (Hillary supporters) were flipping shit. Now Trump wins, and the supporters of Hillary DON'T CONCEDE, even when Hillary did, and they go out and riot and whatever else they're doing. They have a right to protest, so I don't mind them standing up for whatever they believe in, peacefully of course, but the hypocrisy is just annoying.

It would be the same if Hilary Clinton won. At the end of the day what it comes down to is the idiots rioting and crap are the same people who wanted Bernie Sanders to win because they want everything handed to them. Sorry not sorry, that's what it is.

It's just plain sad people think the president has all these powers when it's really your congress you need to worry about, the president is just the face of the US and that's it.

Not at all, let's look at what Bernie wanted.


$15 minimum wage:
This will DESTROY the economy. That is over a 50% increase to some of the highest paid states (and close to 3x the lowest). Small businesses can't survive with that minimum wage, but here's the kicker. I'm in Washington state, for easy numbers the min wage is $10 here (it's $9 something). I make $24.55 per hour as a finish carpenter. Now these people with no skill at Mcdonalds get a 50% wage increase and I'm already above that so I won't get any wage increase but you can bet that since the min wage came up, so will the cost of living. A lot of skilled trades, especially ones outside of a union, make $15 an hour or less. Why in the hell would I have a skilled trade and work my ass off for $15 an hour when I could run over to Mcdonalds and work the same pay? It doesn't work. All prices of say a gallon of milk, a carton of eggs, a car, what ever, it's just a percentage out of your paycheck. If your minimum wage goes up 50%, so does the price of that new car.

Free / reduced College Tuition:
Really? Total expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools in the United States amounted to $620 billion in 201213, or $12,296 per public school student enrolled in the fall. We already have to keep raising taxes for the cost of education, we're already $19.8 trillion in debt, how in the hell do you propose we have free / reduced college tuition? You go to college so you can make more money (if you're smart). It takes money to make money, that's the fact of life.

Free medicare for all:
Oh come on, that's another $1.38 TRILLION annually. Where is this money coming from? Should we borrow more money so we are $50 trillion in debt?

Equal pay for equal work:
This will never work and can never work. Men and women are built differently, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. As a carpenter, I don't see many women in the field but when I do they physically can't lift what I or the other men on the job can lift yet they are still a carpenter, should they still get the same pay as us? You can't classify pay on how much you can lift, it's all in strengths and weaknesses. As soon as you try to broaden the spectrum, things get a lot worse. Now I see a girl who is just puttying over the nail holes making the same money as me busting my ass lifting, centering, and leveling the cabinets. We both have the same job title of carpenter so technically it's equal work, but she get's the easy stuff and the same pay as me doing the normal / hard stuff.

Opposing international trade:
I understand where he's coming from on this one, but this is EXACTLY how you end up like Cuba being stuck in the 50's. The idea is cool, but it just won't work.

Yes, Sanders wanted some things that would do good, but the people rioting wanted Sanders to win so they could get free college, free medicare, and a lot of money for no work. They want free hand outs, they didn't get it because thank god most Americans could see through that BS and struck it down. Now they're mad and any other candidate that won, it don't matter if it was Trump, Clinton, Johnson, or your neighbor across the street, these rioters didn't get free stuff so they're mad. I know, not all of them are rioting because of this, but there are a lot of Sanders supporters rioting because he didn't win.

If I get stopped on the highway I am not stopping. Bullshit for them to be doing stuff like that.
