Oh it should be. If it isnt it just plays into Trumps idealogies.
Only the 1st part tho...

Nate Silver vindicated.
The SCOTUS will be lost for a generation. We'll be set back decades. Please America, make the right decision.
Bingo.
Apparently I was able to look outside my bubble and see the potential damage that a Trump presidency would cause to minorities. It's a shame that so many could not.

Damn, I think GAF really had me convinced it was in the bag. Just dozens and dozens of threads. Trump can't possibly win, it's demographically impossible. Trump's campaign is garbage, while Clinton's campaign is a well-oiled machine. All the Republican strategists have already given up and jumped ship. Clinton has a million different paths to electoral victory. Anyone predicting Trump has a chance of winning is a moron. Nate Silver is an idiot for even giving Trump a 25% chance, here's an article by a guy who says Hillary has a 99% chance of winning where he explains that Silver is a moron.
All lies. I mean, in retrospect, getting smug about the results based on the word of a video game forum was dumb of me. I mean, really. But in retrospect, I believed. Welp, lesson learned.

Yes a lot of stuff is on the table. Say goodbye to a lot of things. Healthcare so if you had healthcare under obama its likely to disappear. Gay marriage will likely go as well with republicans controlling all three branches of government. Abortion is likely gone as well. If you liked data caps enjoy they will likely be sticking around for the foreseeable future. Gas prices will likely go up. All the work the Obama adminstration put in trying to fix the country is likely gone. Man I am so sad to see 8 years of progress disappear in 24 hours.

Don't even bother, they don't give a fuck. It's easier to pretend they're trying to do the right thing rather than admit to themselves that they don't give a fuck about anybody but themselves.

If this happens, who are we setting up for 2020?

I would curse you out right now, but I'd get banned, so I'll settle for "you goddamn moron."
You must a straight white male so you don't see how it impacts the rest of us, but for me a minority who happens to be brown, the world just got a lot scarier.
For the world, the future got a whole lot dimmer. Earth's dying, the Soviet Union is back, and the US spit in the face of the most qualified candidate for President for a populist who assaulted women, lied to the media, and happens to be a white nationalist.
So shut up, you goddamn moron, because you have no idea what you have just done.
So I have not asked my father who he voted for since he usually keeps that to himself but he was pro Bernie and was disappointed when he supported Clinton. The little bit we talked about today (not wasting my weekly visit on politics on election talk) under Bush they got tax rebates and under Obama their taxes have gone up and the rebates stopped. He does not trust her. Now I do also know he was talking to an old boss (a black man who was voting trump over Hillary) of his trying to convince him it was OK to vote for a third party over trump as a way to show distaste for both candidates. I also know several hardcore Republicans that were going to vote Bernie that refuse to vote Clinton.
The idea people need to get out of their head is a vote for trump is racist people have there reasons. Myself, I hate them both and think they will harm the county each in their own way. I think trumps way will breed hate between our fellow citizens and that's why I picked Clinton. Two things I hope for regardless of how tonight ends is we all stop pointing fingers at each other in hate and that the Democrats never run Clinton again as she is the person that almost/did loose to trump of all people.
Yep and people were saying "no never" LMAO
They have their head up their ass. It's been that way for years, I just thought it'd be different this time.

There's no path. It's gone. Trump won. Media is just dragging it on for ratings. She doesn't have the states. Period. Fuck.
Totally agree. Many on GAF have been absolutely blind, the Hillary lot so confident of their win. I can understand why, Trump is a fucking maniac, but I think everyone of them completely disregarded the same issues as Brexit surfaced. Xenophobia is sadly popular. We are not as good as we love to believe we are and far too many of our citizens are easily, EFFORTLESSLY turned into these hateful manipulative mobs.
AND FUCKING YES I AM ABOUT TO DO THAT GODWINS LAW THING...
But THIS is how Nazi Germany came into being. Don't fucking think, as you did about a clear cut Hillary win, that it simply cannot happen, or won't happen. The evidence that it is possible, that the hate and division is there to make it happen all over again, is right there with this result. You laughed at the thought of a Trump win being remotely possible, you were wrong and you can be wrong again. Americans are no greater than pre Nazi Germans were. Just people whipped into hatred and catastrophe.

Easiest path is marriage. It took years for a friend of mine from the UK just to get her residency.

Calm down people, in a few hours Hilary will be declared the winner.
This is all a trick.

Been watching this one all night. I think it'll be Trumps Virginia now and flip to him late - the big cities were called early. Mostly Republican areas left.

Yep we are worried... thankfully there is like a 60% probability that I get a job that pays me in dollars while living in Mexico. Border life.
Still really bad tho.
Bitch about white people all you want but the main reason trump is gonna win is because minroities didn't freaking come out and vote.
Minorities (especially Midwest) are dropping the ball.
At least it's reasonable for whites to vote for a candidate that favors them. It stupid as hell for minorities not to vote against the candidate that hates them.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
88% white.
I guess John Titor was the real deal?
There have been a number of "fuck you racists" posts now.
This is why politics should not be allowed to be discussed on forums.
