I really hope that, after the election, America helps to protect its vulnerable people and minority groups from the surge of xenophobic, racist and sexist behaviour from those who will feel emboldened by this election, just like in the UK after Brexit.

You do this with a better candidate than hillary clinton.

Well... that's terrifying.

Absolutely beautiful.
 
*one week after Trump wins*
"You guys seriously need to calm down. This is normal. Just wait for him to be impeached. And then wait for Pence to be sent to the shadow realm. Stop freaking out over nothing."
 
ouch, Michigan looks grim

With 17 percent of precincts reporting in Michigan, Trump is ahead by more than 4 percentage points statewide. One county’s early returns look particularly surprising: Trump leads Wayne County, which includes Detroit, by about 3 percentage points with 11 percent of precincts reporting. That result would be wildly different from those in the past two presidential elections, when Barack Obama won the county with more than 70 percent of the vote.

btw, if Clinton loses this, it's due to Johnson voters...

As a reminder, the odds you see on the right-hand side of this page are based only on pre-election projections and called states. Clinton isn’t really a 73 percent favorite right now — Trump holds narrow leads in many swing states, some of which are likely to be called for him eventually, so her actual odds are probably lower.

Say it ain't so, Nate.

Looks like they took it down. Stop confusion.
 
According to NYT, Trump leads 50-47 in NC with 60% percent of precincts reporting.

However, over half of Mecklenburg County (almost a tenth of the state's population, heavy D lean) is yet to report.
 
These aren't all racists. People hate the establishment.
Never understood why some rich authoritarian businessman is some Robin Hood against the system. Because he's rude to the establishment? Please, he's rude to everyone. The man is going to enrich himself and entrench corporate influence as Pres.
 
you keep fucking saying that. stop trying to defend the racist cunts who voted for Trump. This country is racist. It was founded on racism and will continue to be racist until the fucking end of time.

people like you handwaving it away saying "oh it's people hating the establishment" are part of the fucking problem

I agree here, but the Dems are to blame for not fielding a better candidate.

We've been discussing Donald Trump's bigotry for a while here, but he's still competitive. People just don't care, by and large.

It's sad, but also should give the Democrats clues on providing a more progressive agenda that entices the blue collar segment that Trump is winning.

Bernie did a better job connecting with that segment and Clinton didn't really learn from that playbook.
 
Even if Trump doesn't win, tonight has made me even more legitimately sad about the people of the US than I already was. My country is full of not only self-serving racist, sexist fucks, but it also venerates base stupidity and ignorance. Yeah! Awesome!
I just told my friend in my room this same thing. Either way, I'm deeply saddened.
