This election shows that there are a bunch of closet racists in America. They came out and supported "their" candidate. Just looking at how divided this country is, this probably going to take America back before the Civil War.
 
I never thougt hilary was going to win GA I think people in her camp were to optimistic about getting swing states also

GAF tried to tell me all week she had a slim shot. I tried to tell people my state is a decade away. It's trending blue, but it probably won't happen till 2028 president wise.
 
These are confusing numbers.

Crazy that there's a large portion of us in literal fear. I'm sorry your family has to go through this.
I don't think white people (and I don't mean to be offensive) have any idea what minorities and immigrants are going through right now. It's widespread fear and panic. The results of this election doesn't matter to them as much as it does for the rest of us.
 
And now you know what a huge portion of this country's population is like. There's a reason why minorities generally only live in certain states of this country.

I've always known there was a significant minority who held these views, but they're not the whole of the electorate or even a majority. Unless it's only whites who are voting, there is a sizeable percentage from minority groups who are voting for someone who has flat out said he's going to treat them like criminals and outcasts.

Side note: if it really is only racist white shitheads voting, well, we deserve everything that's coming our way. It wasn't a secret what the choices were. Brexit is a very apt comparison here; no one thought it was going to happen, until it did.
 
Broward is still only at 63% in. There is enough votes left there for her to win Florida.

Shit 75%

New York Times said:
Florida: We think about 286,000 votes remain to be counted. We think Hillary Clinton leads in that vote by about 16.9 points, based on what we know about those counties and the votes counted so far.

Great page, gives a reason why they think the vote will go a certain way, based on historical data of precincts/counties.
 
You think this country hates you because they voted for someone you don't agree with? The "country" does not hate you because you're a black woman. There are 330 million people in this country, 28% of which are non-white. About 50% are women. Not every man, or white man, hates you. Of course there's assholes out there, but don't ignore that many people (very) begrudgingly voted for Trump, and actively dislike him. Part of the reason Trump got this far is because people also hate Clinton...Trump running against Al Gore or Obama would have turned out differently.

And single issue voters. It's hard to convince someone who has their mind made up on a candidate if that person is promising them jobs or whatever, regardless of their other positions. Like they say, its not personal, it's politics.

If Hunter S Thompson was alive, he'd kill with the analysis.
 
I've got a friend who is an immigrant along with her parents that is utterly terrified about all this. I keep trying to calm them down, but it's rather hard right now.

This should have been an open and shut case. But I guess I'm not surprised it isn't. Just disappointed.
