It looks like it'll take a while, I see there's still major protests happening.

I do remember something about a pipeline protest, I thought that was the native indians protesting though, maybe I'm wrong..

Wasn't that in Nebraska? I head about a protest where the native Indians were involved, I'm not sure if that's it or not.

Wasn't that over an oil pipeline? I seem to remember catching part of a news story about one.

I think the oil pipeline was a different protest, it's a pity I always get interrupted during the news, I always end up missing most of any significant news stories.. (r) :#

It seems there's always protests about something these days, it gets hard keeping up with which is where and for whatever reason.

There does seem to have been quite a few this year, maybe there's just been more happening than usual..

There has, Trump getting elected hasn't helped. I wouldn't mind betting at least some of the anti Trump protesters didn't vote either.

I always say if we don't vote we lose the right to complain if the wrong person or party gets in, one vote mightn't be much, but they all count, get say 1000no votes and that could well be the difference between who you want winning or losing eh..

Nope, IMO if you choose not to vote you lose your right to complain about the outcome..

I wonder after all Trumps saying the system is rigged whether he'll try changing it now, or rather once he's in office?

I guess we'll find out in due course, no doubt seeing he won nothing will change.

IMHO the voting system should be changed, it seems to be a bit biased in some ways..

At best you can please most of the people most of the time, but what fun would life be if everyone thought the same?
