After the election - will Americans accept the result?

There seems to be so much anger in this election, do you think that Americans will quietly accept the result? At least half of them will be dissapointed with the result. How will the losers take it?

"At least half of them will be dissapointed with the result."

How do you reckon?

It will boil down to D's 6000 volunteer lawyers plus top guns vs R's vote blockers.

How do you get that idea?

If the polls are any indication, there will be a lot fewer people supporting the losing candidate than in the last two elections. So there is really no legitimate reason for anyone to be angry.

But yes, there will be a group of people who will be very angry about Obama winning (as seems most likely). But these people (Angry White Males, etc) are already angry about a lot of things.

I predict that American plutocracy will be in firm control regardless of which arm of the big business party wins. But don't quote me. I think fewer and fewer Americans believe they have a real choice in the matter.
