Support NeoGAF

[Mahonay]

AP not messing around with the gravity of Trumps statement. The AP folks.

Time to make it clear to the public just how insane this really is.

 

[Psychoward]

The peaceful transition of power was arguably the biggest moment in US election history and this orange glazed whiny fuck is spitting in its face.

He needs to be absolutely roasted in electoral votes and the popular vote so there can be no doubting from any reasonable person that he didn't get his ass whooped.

My APUSH teacher is crying.

 

[massivekettle]

Just allegations from 10 Women, that's it.
for the "so-called" crime of Sexual Assault.

I've asked you to address this twice now and both times you didn't respond. I also pointed out facts in regards to what Obama got done despite an obstructionist Republican congress.

Considering he's literally on trial for raping a 13 year old and have had numerous women come forward with allegations and he literally is on tape saying he can use his position to just have his way with women, there's no defense for this. There really is not.

Then I stand corrected. Didn't know it got that serious. I haven't really been following recent news/scandals outside of debate nights.

Trump thinks he is bigger than anyone or anythjng

 

[Psychoward]

How is that a shitpost?
Have you seen the videos Trump mentioned.

They have been topping YouTube's trending list.

They've also been debunked and threads about them locked because they're made by a biased con artist.

sure sure

 

[Psychoward]

"yadda yadda yadda" I nearly stopped after your wonderful spin of the email situation but I continued out of respect.

Look, let's just agree to disagree. At the end of the day, the world is made up of very different people and you need to be able to respect everyone's free will - not everyone will share your opinions or views of the world. Let democracy decide the victor.

If you accepted free will and people's rights to diversity you wouldn't be voting Republican which actively seeks to strip the rights of people different than them.

Trump's running mate made it legal to discriminate against LGBT people. But ya know, both sides.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Has there ever been a candidate in USA history who refused to accept results of the election? I know it's a cornerstone of our politics, but I'm a little surprised there's not been at least one goober.

I guess my biggest concern isn't Trump blubbering about the lost election, but what his mass of followers might do.

 

[Einchy]

Then I stand corrected.

That's a first from you, Ksharp.

I like that as the conversation continues the "I'm not a fan of Trump, but" people always end up showing their true colors.

I mean, I hope they just stop voting, then.

 

[The Lamonster]

As soon as he said that, I looked at my wife and said, "this is bigger than the tapes."

Or multiple Oklahoma City type events. I hope everyone remembers this.

Ughhhh. Fuck this guy

No which is why it's sad. The peaceful transition of power was one of the defining moments of American democracy and Trump is the first chuckle fuck in over 2 centuries threatening to undermine it. He can go kick rocks.

 

[Mohonky]

Shocked....well actually no not really shocked at all. Hope you're ready for 4 years of legal debauchery over whose really in charge America.

I know its a serious matter but holy shit is Trump making these elections interesting. Trump making elections great again

 

[PopeReal]

With Clinton, it's a case of anything usually being "more than meets the eye". Don't think people believe Trump is more trustworthy, but he's got so much going against him, people are pouncing on various things at once. Trustworthiness and her lack of charisma/warmth have always been big issues for Hillary though.

I hope most people can see how fucking stupid these types of posts are.

"Warmth." LOL yes every president before Hillary was elected for their "warmth."

Sexist fucking garbage.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

I haven't seen much coverage of his claim that Hillary was inciting violence at HIS rallies and it's on tape. What is he talking about?

I'm assuming it's more projection garbage but just haven't seen much followup on it.

John Breckinridge, who after losing to Lincoln joined a terrorist organization known as the "Confederate Army".

Precious Little Voter Needs To Feel Inspired By Candidate

 

[CrispyBoar]

Guys, stop interacting with ksharp. Most of Canada Poli-GAF has already.

I don't know why people here keeps giving him attention/keeps feeding him.

I'd put him on ignore already.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

You'd hope.

John Breckinridge, who after losing to Lincoln joined a terrorist organization known as the "Confederate Army".

Does Breckinridge really count? I mean, I guess yes he did leave, but that had more to do with the issue of secession and the Union than the election results. Before he was declared a traitor, he remained in the Senate, worked on various (shitty) compromises to the secession crisis like Crittenden and dutifully swore in his successor to the office of vice-president.

Trump seems like he wouldn't concede the loss of the election results itself.

 

[Killthee]

One thing holds true though.

I agree to concede to my bet if Hillary wins.
I won't be able to post about political stuff anywhere on the internet for a year.

Can we limit it to just neogaf but bump it up 5 years?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

It's truly amazing how a woman that is nearly on the verge of death can:

-launder millions of money from terrorists through her charity
-murder her investigators
-pay off all of the media
-pay off SNL
-rig voting booths all across the country
-become the co founder of ISIS

How does she do it all?

Courage.

 

[Amir0x]

I don't know why people here keeps giving him attention/keeps feeding him.

I've never put a single person on ignore in all my years on neoGAF, over a decade. If I want to ignore someone, I just skip their posts

I first probe to see how serious someone is. And if they're not serious, well as I like to say a cat enjoys his yarn. Sometimes it is entertaining to see such intellectual bankruptcy attempt to defend their viewpoints. *shrug* Call it the same mechanism that can't look away from trainwrecks or car crashes or whatever.

if I see someone being racist, sexist, or generally a pig, I put them on my ignore list. Funnily enough, I don't run into many messages in topics saying "so and so is on your ignore list" because those people tend to get banned anyways. So it all works out. Really, I do it as a preventative measure to keep myself from going off on a post of theirs and getting banned.

I won't ignore someone just because I disagree with them.

 

[Sianos]

After the leaks this week I don't blame him for the wait and see approach.

i'll make sure to eat some slow-cooked risotto after the election is called in honor of john podesta

 

[Meowster]

Horrifying.

 

[Madrin]

I just saw someone on my Facebook feed say that if Hillary wins then he'll be convinced it's fraud, and that Trump won't accept the fraudulent results "like Bernie and the Bernouts did." I'm getting a little terrified seeing that there are people like this out there.

 

[DietRob]

It's incredibly depressing that innocent people will be harassed or god forbid die because Donnie has too big of an ego.

Must be all of the crack. Did you know she's on crack? Notorious crack addict, you have no idea.

I don't get it, he's behind by a significant amount in all the polls. If there was rigging, not only would the elections across many states (with Republican governors) have to be rigged, but all the independent pollsters would have to be in collusion as well. It's just plain fucking stupid.

 

[Monocle]

Sexist fucking garbage.

Let's be real though, she needs to smile more. Or less. Which one are we on again?

OK but for total realsies, she needs to find a way to smile without looking like Rumpelstiltskin at an orphanage. And she also needs to appear respectable and presidential. Like, say, a man.

 

[CrispyBoar]

Like I said earlier, I hope Obama or someone else will have the National Guard, police, etc. on every state, on every city on Election Day.

I'm sure there have been a fair number that AFTER the election and results have come in have been all "this is a bunch of BULLSHIT! FUCK IT! FUCK YOU! FUCK ALL YA'LL!!! IM THE BEST!!"

But doing it before the election and the results... seems like a dumb ass move no matter how you slice it.

Makes you look like a loser, a fucking lunatic, and shows your supporters "even I think I've lost already, so don't bother"

 

[Jing_Ke]

Thinly veiled attack on the American democratic institution.

This man is a fucking disgrace to everything the U.S.A. stands for.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Not that it excuses anything, but... grain of truth, right? Vote flipping for larger precincts is still (probably) a thing?

Given that, are we really surprised?

 

[TyrantII]

John Breckinridge, who after losing to Lincoln joined a terrorist organization known as the "Confederate Army".

Maybe, but you kinda ignored everything that happened between.

Lincoln took office peacefully. Later the south revolted and were put down in America's bloodiest war ever.

The legitimacy of the election was never at hand. The south tried to take their slaves and go home.

 

[MogCakes]

Like I said earlier, I hope Obama or someone else will have the National Guard, police, etc. on every state, on every city on Election Day.

Forget election day, it's the immediate aftermath of the election results.

 

[Breads]

Why even let this person continue running of the only results they will accept are the results in their favor.

 

[GSG Flash]

Don't think people believe Trump is more trustworthy, but he's got so much going against him, people are pouncing on various things at once. Trustworthiness and her lack of charisma/warmth have always been big issues for Hillary though.

Weren't you stanning hardcore for Stephen Harper, the coldest motherfucker on this planet, during the Canadian election? It's quite ironic that you're bringing up Hillary's lack of "warmth" as a negative considering that Hillary is a teddy bear compared to Harper.

 

[border]

The election isn't contingent on Trump accepting the results of the election, and Clinton will have a pretty convincing and undeniable victory. This isn't going to be like Gore v. Bush. Even Trump isn't really alleging voter fraud in the debate; he just seems to think that unfavorable media coverage means that the election is "rigged".

 

[duckroll]

Has there ever been a candidate in USA history who refused to accept results of the election? I know it's a cornerstone of our politics, but I'm a little surprised there's not been at least one goober.

I don't think so because as far as I know legit presidential candidates from the major parties have pretty much always been politicians first and foremost. I could be wrong though. Once you're a politician, it makes zero sense to say something like this because if you won't accept a result that is a loss, the logic is simple - why would you accept the result if you win?

 

[Glass Shark]

I can see this going very badly. If he decides he doesn't want to go away, he'll start gathering crowds however he can and attempt to lead a revolution.

 

[Byakuya769]

Probably. A lot of people are talking. We've gotta look into it.

Nah, he and his campaign have been big on the voter fraud stuff. He mentioned "millions of dead people registered to vote."

Not in modern times, but historically sort of.

Except of course the dozen or so times he has specifically referenced rigging of the polls and he mentioned busing dead people to the polls and a video that reportedly demonstrated the voter fraud you claim he never alleged?

Everyone else on his campaign is desperately trying to claim it's just about the media. Trump keeps undercutting that message at every turn.

 

[benjipwns]

Has Hillary committed to accept the results? Why was she allowed to avoid the question?

Why should we vote for someone who won't say whether or not she'll take office if she wins? And when she loses will she try to take office anyway? People are saying, I don't know, it's just what I've heard, a lot of people are talking.

Even worse, that fucker Tilden and the Democrats accepted a stolen election in order to end Reconstruction.

That'd be news to the states that seceded and formed the Confederate States before Buchanan ever left office.

We're talking about Donald Trump here, not a revolutionary.

He's too lazy to lead anything but an online witch hunt.
