Eating my dinner, noticed a ton of noise and theirs a huge protest walking through traffic in NYC towards Trump tower on fifth avenue, its insanity.

I was annoyed earlier since they had barricaded the area around Trump Tower so my walk home was terrible.

The only problem is the ambulances and firetrucks can't get through the traffic.

That's not unity

 

[hidys]

That's not unity

Unity is overrated.

 

[ColdPizza]

Oh boy. Stay safe everyone.

 

[Sectorseven]

What are they protesting?

 

[Lois_Lane]

I wish I could join them.

What are they protesting?

What do you think?

A lying, racist, sex-assaulting, demagogue is in power having lost the popular vote.

 

[anaron]

holy fuck at the amount


GO IN

 

[yanipheonu]

I mean, I don't really what they're protesting. But displaying discontent is probably a good idea. Show up front that there's another 50% of the country who isn't exactly thrilled, even if there's nothing they can do after the vote.

 

[.JayZii]

What are they protesting?

Did something happen recently?

 

[teruterubozu]

Occupy Trump Tower?

 

[ZZMitch]

That's not unity

If you think a Trump presidency is going to bring any sort of unity (especially in the cities)... you are delusional and naive.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better and frankly we deserve it.

 

[Cidd]

Why even bother doing this?

This will only energize his supporters smh.

[Darryl M R]

Protest. But remember to also vote.

Why even bother doing this?

This will only energize his supporters smh.

Energize them to do what? Threaten minorities? Prove everyone's point that this is white supremacy lashing out? Vote? Hell they already did that--now it's our turn to step up.

 

[RPGCrazied]

That's not unity

Unity with Trump? LOL

...Sorry, that's rich.

And I'm all for protesting if they keep it civil. I would be too if I lived near.

#NotMyPresident

 

[Kill3r7]

Good on them but where were these protests over the last 6 weeks or so? Protesting is not going to change shit now. Midterms is our next shot.

 

[ValkyrUser]

I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier. I wish I could join them.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

It means nothing.

It will accomplish nothing.

The protests should be at the homes and places of people who didn't fucking vote. Any and all liberal/democrat protest from here on should hold signs that read 2018 midterms, that's our only hope for anything right now.

 

[George Washington]

Protesting the results of an election? Good luck changing anything. People had the chance but they didn't turn out.

 

[vwnut13]

Could you just accept the results of the election already?

 

[Costa Kid]

Can someone tell me the point of protesting? Trump legitimately won the election did he not?

 

[BoboBrazil]

How long until they take the Tower and get to Trump?

 

[maquiladora]

 

[Lamel]

Good for them for protesting what they believe in. Not sure what they are trying to accomplish right now though.

 

[reKon]

same thing in Chicago

 

[Codeblue]

Could you just accept the results of the election already?

Yeah, it's been a couple of hours, I don't see why people haven't just accepted that our country is about to get flung into the past.

 

[mercenar1e]

what do they hope to accomplish here? he isn't going anywhere.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

There was some in LA too, though I don't have a link.

Not going to be the last time this happens, either.

 

[Rentahamster]

Same one from last night from The Young Turks?

 

[forgrim]

I have no idea where these people appeared from, I literally looked out my window and saw them walking north up fifth avenue, thought it was a minor disturbance...than saw EVERYBODY COME POURING OUT

 

[R3TRO]

But...What is protesting going to do in this case.

 

[GKSilKamina]

Don't boo, vote!

...oh wait.

 

[EMT0]

That's not unity

Unity only matters when a Republican is president, huh?

 

[Wowfunhappy]

And I'm all for protesting if they keep it civil. I would be too if I lived near.

I'm not. Why the heck are you protesting AFTER the election? It's done. He's president. You're wasting your energy.

 

[HeySeuss]

This makes the left look like spoiled children that didn't get their way. Reinforcing the stereotypes we already have.

You are literally protesting democracy and the will of the public. I mean, I get it, and it sucks we're stuck with him for at least 4 years. But shit like this will guarantee a second term.

 

[steveovig]

Yea, and how many of them voted for Hillary? There has to be some who didn't.

 

[RBH]

What are they protesting?

.............

 

[faisal233]

Over/under on how many of those protesters didn't show up yesterday.

 

[DarkKyo]

Time to start the US over from scratch.

 

[mercenar1e]

Yea, and how many of them actually voted for Hillary? There has to be some who didn't.

NY went to Hillary so it doesn't matter there.

 

[Vestal]

I'm not. Why the heck are you protesting AFTER the election. It's done. He's president. You're wasting your energy.

No they are not. They are exercising their right to protest. Nothing more American than that.

 

[CHC]

Yea, and how many of them actually voted for Hillary? There has to be some who didn't.

I'm sure most of them did, but.... these are cities. That was never the problem.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Yea, and how many of them voted for Hillary? There has to be some who didn't.

She won Illinois and New York.

 

[NateDrake]

There's a protest going on in Providence right now.

 

[steveovig]

NY went to Hillary so it doesn't matter there.

Yea I know. I'm just sick of people complaining about Trump even though you may not have voted for her. I have people on my FB feed who have done that.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

i don't see anything wrong with people going out to let of some steam and heal together. as long as they are respectful and peaceful which this appears to be.

this is a hurtful experience for many americans, and they're simply exercising their rights.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Keep it up. Fuck this administration.

 

[forgrim]

i actually feel bad for the people stuck in their cars, they are just honking all pissed off to hell

 

[Lois_Lane]

This makes the left look like spoiled children that didn't get their way. Reinforcing the stereotypes we already have.

This is ridiculous. Republicans obstructed us for eight FREAKING years and we're just supposed to rollover when they tell us too? Fuck them. Acting like adults got us Trump so let's drop to the Republican level. See if that gets us anywhere.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

All those people complaining about Trump not saying he would accept the results of the election and this happens.
