Everyone on gaf likes to say racism and shit, but counties in Ohio that were overwhelmingly Obama seemed to have switched to Trump. The alienation of blue collar workers cannot be entirely blamed on racism. I really think a populist like Bernie would have slaughtered Trump based on these results.
 
How could some of the state polls be so wrong as of yesterday? this is crazy

Because they were trying to push the narrative that Clinton would blowout so people would want to be on the winning side.

This just exposes how the media are major establishment shills.

House still holds for Repubs.



Not the only state she needs tho...She needs to take at least one major battleground state to keep Trump out. How close it is now is just panic-inducing, mainly because it's Trump.

She needs New Hampshire which is possible and she can also get mitchigan still. But, fuck, this is not how I wanted the night to go.
 
I can't eat

I already called out of work tomorrow because I'm going to the city but if trump wins I won't go

I'll call out for a few more days

I feel sick to my stomach

So glad i don't live in America right now. Being black, bi and having mental health issues i would be fucked.
 
It absolutely is, there's no debating this, period.

It is, but Im more disappointed in the minorities. Why are they voting Trump? Why are women voting Trump? Why are muslims voting Trump?

The don subreddit has a bunch of people uploading selfies of themselves voting trump, and the racial makeup is astounding

Im sure they are boosted to the front page, but the fact that they are even voting is blowing my mind

Im seeing muslims, gays, black people, white women.



Also, I think people are overlooking that white racists REALLY are motivated to vote. If minorities arent, then that really sucks.

Also, outside gaf, hillarys emails must make her look very bad.
 
Clinton was always a crappy candidate. She's experienced, but she just was not likable.

That matter in Presidential elections. Trump is proving that Big Issues largely don't matter. Perception does.

And this is even after the Access Hollywood leak....

Yep democracy is a reality show. No one cares about what they do, just how tall they are or whether their voice is the right octave.
 
Well, if nothing else this election should be a real eye opener for those middle-of-the-road whites who always say "racism is overblown". Tonight they should all be saying, "well, whaddya know, those minorities were right all along"
 
ITT:

Media: Clinton is underperforming, like really badly
90% of thread: omfg we're screwed
10% of thread: pfft, my smug complacency has gotten us this far, dont worry Trump cant win lol is this your first election

Same damn people who sat on their high horse and said it was in the bag, we need to push Clinton, she is the best choice.

Fuck em now. I'm going to start stocking up on essentials like Popeyes
 
Why is everyone surprised? You've been told for months this was Brexit 2.0. Hillary's rallies were bringing in the high hundreds / low thousands without free concerts. Turnout was huge for Trump in the primaries. The only reason you had to believe Hillary had a chance was from left-leaning political polls that didn't take into account Trump's lead with independents.
Left leaning polls? Breitbart had her ahead, this isn't like Brexit
 
Very condescending tone you've got there. Just ignore the posts you don't like.

nah, not condescending, realistic. The sky isn't falling. Just drink and let it wash over you. You did your part.

and you can't ignore what is everywhere. so better to go right for it.
 
As a native American woman living in a super wHite part of Illinois I'm terrified hate is going to win. Please please please don't make hate the new motto of the us.
 
I'm pretty close to panicking, but i'm still not seeing a clear path for trump to reach 270. Pretty sure he still won't sweep NH, NC, VA, and FL, though he might win a couple.
 
I am 100% inclined to agree. Neither candidate seems liked by the majority of the population at all and I've been saying it for a while. Its pissed some people off but its true. The majority of this country doesn't want Trump and they don't want Hilary.

I'm praying Hilary wins this but unless she gains a lot of ground during her term I see a Republican beating her in 2020 or vice versa for Trump.

Yep - I've been saying the same. And it's pretty clear that the GOP could run Hitler or Stalin or Satan himself and have a chance, especially vs. her.
