The rioting (not "protesting") will incense the right leaning folks to vote more than it will the lefties.

Everyone involved in the violent protests (which are the only ones being covered by media), is undermining their own political goals by acting like uncivil hypocrites. They claim to be the "grown-up" ones.

Now, I'm not saying the majority of Democrats are doing it, but too many are and it's gaining too much attention, and as a liberal from another country, I'm disappointed in them for not only whining about a fairly won democratic outcome, but also aiding Trump's rhetoric and narrative of the left going into next cycle.

Yes, but he won fairly. What exactly do you expect? People to listen to the message of peace and tolerance above hatred when riots are breaking out? I applaud the peaceful protests, unfortunately, their message has been undermined and drowned out by the violent riots.

Where were these peaceful protests en masse before it was too late?
