Political Posts Week 9

    There is many people talking about protesting the electoral college vote because of the winning majority vote. Progressive groups are actively organizing and supporting protests in attempt of a switch in vote on December 19th. There was an overwhelming amount of votes in favor of electors challenging Trump. About 91 percent of respondents were in favor of the push. This being said, these people are still in doubt of this change actually happening.

Political Posts Week 9

  Many cities and communities continue on the Trump protests. This includes the city of Chicago who has definitely not given up. City workers, earlier this week, removed honorary street signage near the Chicago Trump International Hotel and Tower. This was aimed at his comment calling Chicago a "war-torn country." They have also began brainstorming ideas on how to block the sign in the sky. Exhibiting the passion going with this issue, “To suggest that Chicago is more like an Aleppo or a Baghdad is unfair,” Alderman Brendan Reilly told reporters after the council voted to strip Trump of the honorary signage. “Yes, Chicago is struggling with some big issues right now like most major cities are. But, that doesn’t mean you paint this city with such a broad brush.”
