    " to say you won’t respect the results of the election, that is a direct threat to our democracy,” Clinton said to cheers
    --------------☆



    So are all of these Democrats a threat to democracy? Seems that way according to Hillary Clinton. Does she have a responsibility to come out and tell her voters to respect our democracy?

    Dumb question. No, Democrats are not a threat to democracy.

    But the head of the party and recent candidate Hillary Clinton says they are. I provided the quote above. So is she wrong?

    You really should offer something coherent, exactly what point are you trying to make?

    Progressives are a threat to democracy. The Democrats would do well to distance themselves from same.

    Democrats would like nothing more than time put white people on a plantation. The party of racism and hypocrisy.

    I am so relieved to see that people are seeing this and fighting back.

    She misspoke. No biggie. Democrats are allowed to say things they don't mean or lie. Republicans have no such luxury. Thank the MSM for not doing their jobs.

    It's fairly obvious the point he is making. Clinton, the head of the Democratic Party and most recent candidate for President, said that someone refusing to respect the results of the election are a threat to our democracy. She is, currently, not respecting the results of the election, so is she a threat to our democracy?

    They're no Democrats - there's people of all and no parties out there. They're just people whose common trait is their fear and loathing of president elect Trump. Stop being partisan - it's so petty.

    It's one of the few things she was accurate about. These radical leftists are a threat to democracy.

    No. Regressives are a threat to democracy. And to everything else.

    Democracy is a progressive idea to begin with, anyway.

    Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt were all progressives...Some times call for progressive actions. First the talk radio jocks made 'liberal' a dirty word, now they have made "progressive" a perjorative. Both liberals and progressives have been quite instrumental in forming and advancing this great nation. Get a dictionary and learn what words really mean instead of letting drug addled gas bags or corporate war profiteers define your world.

    Who's a regressive? How are they regressive?

    First we have to separate actual progressivism from the organised stupidity of America's current political left wing..

    "Democrats" and "democracy" may sound the same, but in todays world, the meaning of those two words is about as opposite as they could ever be.

    Republicans nominated and elected a guy that several members of his own party called a pathological liar. During his campaign he told one provable lie after another. He is clearly documented in film and print as being a liar. He won the election champ, so your statement is pure bull (*)(*)(*)(*). Politicians from both parties are known to be the biggest liars on earth and they all get away with it. What the planet have you been living on. Your lying sack of crap won and you are still whining about how the poor Republicans are being mistreated. That is pretty silly, wouldn't you say?

    Please provide a quote from Ms. Clinton saying she does not accept the results of this election.

    She's currently involved in the recount process in 3 states, correct? Why would she do that if she accepted the results of the election?

    Wait, you're a Hillary fan, and you're not out there telling her - no - demanding she go out and get recalls in as many states as possible?

    Clinton campaign will participate in Wisconsin recount, with an eye on ‘outside interference,’ lawyer says

    It's you who is stuck at that silly level of not understanding terms and calling names.

    Again, who is regressive and how are they regressive? How should we be progressing, exactly? How are we failing to progress right now?

    Ms. Clinton has nothing to do with the recount, this was initiated by Ms. Stein of the Green Party and the Dems will join in. Ms. Clinton hasn't uttered a word, that I'm aware of and even her campaign counsel has said they have no intention of contesting the election, it's over. So, I'll ask again, where is the quote(s) from Ms. Clinton saying she "doesn't respect the election result"?

    It's pretty easy to folow, you're the only one struggling to figure it out.

    Sorry, but you are incorrect. Hillary Clinton is, in fact, taking part in the recount process in 3 states.

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/26/politics/clinton-campaign-recount/

    So, I'll ask again, why would she do that if she accepted the results of the election? Clinton, the head of the Democratic Party and most recent candidate for President, said that someone refusing to respect the results of the election are a threat to our democracy. She is, currently, not respecting the results of the election, so is she a threat to our democracy?

    Has Clinton refused to accept the results? No?

    Trump said he wouldn't if he lost and his supporters threatened violence

    This all part of the Democratic process. Vote counts should be accurate and all votes should count.

    You disagree?
