After this is over, I wonder if it'll dawn on the CNN staff that their desire for ratings and "balance" was a mistake. One more email story, for old times sake.
 
The official party platform is to ban me from the country.

Who the fuck is demonizing who

Yep. He ran a campaign of hate and possibly won because of that. These people have so much hatred for people like you and many others that aren't exactly like them or they just have so little empathy that human rights are just white noise to them. This has nothing to do with smugness on the left
 
Compilation of all the closet trump supporters, I couldn't be arsed to keep up with the thread. Thanks for supporting a bunch of repugnant shit. -_-

I'm not a Trump supporter at all, what the fuck are you interpreting into my post that just has a gif that is literally meant ironic.
 
Giuliani just said this was the biggest win for the American people since Andrew Jackson. Please take me on that first Space X rocket to Mars, Elon.
 
All those republicans senators, generals, and even Paul Ryan who was shitting on trump, and would barely support or not support him must be kicking themselves atm.

Crazy
 
John King in the background of cnn sadly poking at the election screen is what I will remember most from the coverage. He just does not stop poking at it.
 
This is terrifying. 2018 is a terrible map for the democrats, the republicans have the government for a minimum four years.

Our election system is so broken. This will be two in the last five elections the person who got the most votes didn't become president.
 
What I'm wondering now, is how can we have a meaningful progressive impact as far as politics go? Federally, we're fucked. But now I feel the urge to fight at the local level more than before.

The DNC should have focused on the states years ago. The state houses are too far gone. This is why Hilllary ran, the DNC has no up and comers because they have never built up state parties. Obama was a fluke. I mean who runs in 2020?

Are people actually crying or disgusted with people just because of Trump? I've seen posts about people being scared for any of their non-white / LBGT friends...the states arent going to turn into some crazy violent free for all place in the event he does win...

I mean I know, online overexaggeration as usual, but jeez.
Because shit already sucks for minorities and is unacceptable. Things are going to only get worse for us. Any amount is too much.
 
TRUMP JUST WON IOWA!! OMG IM SO FUCKING HAPPY!!!!

WE DID IT!!

You have to be a fucking sociopath to be happy about this. Literally everyone in the US will be worse off under Trump except for rich people.
His inaction on climate change will cause millions of deaths worldwide down the line.

What are you happy about, seriously?!
 
Nope! A major thing Trump has going for him is enthusiasm. People want to vote FOR him. That's something Bernie had. People here during the DNC were laughing and mocking those Bernie supporters in the audience who were crying when he endorsed Hillary. But that's because they loved him and believed he could create a better future for them. They wanted to vote FOR him. Not against Hillary or against anyone else. And that's Hillary's problem. So much of her platform was built up on why you shouldn't want to vote for Trump. The alt-right, deplorables, KKK, sexists, misogynistics etc. were pushed heavily by her and her supporters. There never was a lot of enthusiasm FOR her. But she and many others thought the hate that many have toward Trump would be enough. But that hate doesn't appear to be enough to overtake those that are actively going out to vote for someone.

This was an election that was going to mean the turning point for the party that lost. It's looking like that'll be Democrats. At the top of the lists for changes should be moving completely away from the Clinton family. You can be proud for what Bill and Hillary have done, but they need to be in the rearview of this party from now on. Not front and center.

You've made several great posts in the thread, along with this one. It's too bad the people that need to listen to this the most will just ignore you. Everyone is stuck in "us vs. them" mentality and no one wants to hear any criticism of their favored candidate, even when that criticism is actually helpful and constructive.

Polarization is the worst thing about U.S. politics. You're either a diehard lover of Hillary, or you're a (according to some posters in this thread) a racist piece of "human garbage".
 
Yeah, I could really see Le Pen getting the Presidency in France now. And AfD in Germany. Sigh.

And Florida goes to Trump. Fuck!
Unless something major happens until then, Le Pen has no chance of becoming president. She'll make the 2nd round easily though.
 
I pray for the future of my children. Normally, any given presidency under x would be survivable over time, even if a set back. I fear that Trump is a literal example of (possibly) biblical end times.

I didn't think this was realistically going to happen. What the fuck is going on?

Why are so many people unable to see, to understand?

I've had too much rum. May God have mercy on us all.
 
Yeah if Trump actually wins this all my hopes are on that Japan teaching job I was debating earlier; it's now full-on commitment, comfortable salary be damned.
 
First Brexit, now Trump... The right is undoubtly the biggest threat to world peace atm. Maybe it's time to use more radical methods to stop them. Because if nothing happens, innocent people will suffer and die. This has to stop, now.
