Watching the news coverage tonight makes me wanna go heavy on the alcohol
Trump did this with no money and barely any staff compared to Clinton. She outspent him dramatically. The country strongly feels this way.
As a Bernie supporter...
I don't know wether to laugh or cry. I am now finding it amusing however how HillGAF condescendingly stated that they don't even need the Bernie people and that Bernie would have lost by YUGE margins.
Oh enough with all the Bernie shit.
HE SHOULD HAVE BEATEN HER BY GETTING MORE VOTES THEN.
NOBODY VOTED FOR HIM. IT'S HIS FAULT HE LOST.

BREAKING: Trump wins Florida. @AP race call at 10:50 p.m. EST. #Election2016 #APracecall
as I said for months, but better encapsulated by Carl Beijer: http://www.carlbeijer.com/2016/09/shunning-is-mostly-performative-and.html
Florida is Red
What's wrong with "fuck you racists" posts? They're fucking racists.
There are no winners. Half the country has openly voted for the oppression of LGBT's, minorities', and women's rights.
538 is a product of the polls. Nate Silver was the only one to point out the flaws (high uncertainty etc) and to take them into account.Not really, he still got Hillary as favorite before the election.
YesJust woke up, is Hillary losing the election?
Your post is probably going to fall on deaf ears. But you're right.I'm going to go on a long rant here and I'm sure in this fast moving thread no one will read it, but it's going to be at least a little cathartic. I'm also going to put this forum on blast a bit.
You know, I'm just going to take a moment to say that some of us tried to warn so many of you. The whole "social justice warrior" online movement or whatever you want to call it that this forum in particular has come to be dominated by. Shame and spite do not do anything to help one's cause.
Unrepentantly calling all white people racists and bigots and sexists and misogynists is what brought this on. I've joked on here about voting for and supporting Trump, but god knows I never actually did. But I've always been able to at least sympathize with those "deplorables" for the blatant hypocrisy on the left when it comes to all of those social issues that dominate social media these days.
too many people on the left, and on GAF especially, remind me of the conservatives in the years following 9/11 under Bush. Everything was viewed through a polarizing, black and white filter. You are either with us or with the terrorists. You are either a ____ist or you're not.
You can't demonize and shame people and expect they'll agree with you. They'll only dig their heels in further, especially if they feel attacked.
This is some real truth here, folks:
All the people who are very likely or even (ugh) probably going to put Donald fucking Trump in the White House tonight are not voting because they hate women or blacks or mexicans or whoever else. I'm also not saying that the hatred isn't a factor, because it's been shown repeatedly that at least on some level it's an animating force for all of this... but people are complex animals but you've turned them into cartoon villains and stereotypes without every trying to understand them or why they actually feel the way they do.
Polarization is bad. The right has been polarized for a long time, but now the left is too, and it's biting them back hard tonight. If Trump wins and has the House and Senate behind him, this is literally the end of America as we know it and the beginning of a new BRIC nation world alignment. That's really fucking bad.
America just elected a sexual predator, a racist, and a fascist as the president of the United States.
Be happy for Earth B where Bernie is tearing shit up
Well this is over.
Is Hillary the worst presidential candidate in the history of America? How do you lose to fucking Donald Trump?
Fucking worthless.No kidding. So far this election has proved Trump right in that you can't trust the media.
Is the EU accepting refugees from the United States yet?
She'll still win. She can lose NC, FL, NH even. She just needs WI, MI, and NV.
Very happy with the results thus far. Fingers crossed he pulls this off.
You probably also think racism is dead tooYou guys keep saying racism, but counties that voted for a black man are now voting for trump. Hillary is the problem, not racism.
Yep. HilGAF is the worstGAF. The worst people I've encountered on the internet.
Oh,okay.
I see.
This is how it's gonna be, huh?
Okay, that's fine.
I'm just learning some things about white people tonight.
Just woke up, is Hillary losing the election?
