Someone posted it on twitter, quick, spread it!!

It's not just tied to this election. It's internet news culture in general. It can be pretty dangerous and people who foster it have to at least take a very small part of the blame for spreading bullshit. Just look at the response here. With absolutely no investigating at all many were lining up to believe an image of a tweet.

Needed this.

 

[Friend of Sonic]

This dude on CNN dropping truth.

Whitelash.

 

[v1lla21]

I wonder what Barack Obama is thinking right now.

Probably trying to figure out how to become a dictator.

 

[Fantastical]

When will we get a concession/victory speech? Only reason I'm still up.

Yeah I wanna see that, but it's approaching midnight.

This tweet says it best.

日本「面白そうだから民主党に入れた」
Japan "Sounds like fun so ill vote democratic party"
イギリス「面白そうだからEU離脱に入れた」
England "Sounds like fun so i voted to leave eu"
アメリカ「面白そうだからトランプに入れた」
US "Sounds like fun so i voted trump"

People just vote out of curiosity of what will happen of the unknown. thrill seekers by nature. I see alot of people not voting trump for his policies or anything like that besides that he is an entertainer.

To all those thinking of leaving:

Please stay. We need you. We have to fight this.

Nothing short of a revolution is going to lead to radical change for us.

 

[Majine]

Trump leads in Pennsylvania and I think there are only rural areas left.

It's... over.

 

[helloresolven]

The Trump-isn't-racist argument: "Let's vote a billionaire to fight the elite!"

 

[Chmpocalypse]

War is bad for business and stock markets.

I expect isolationalism.

What are you talking about? War is great for business. Just ask the Bush family, which has been involved in arms trading and war profiteering since the Civil War.

 

[letmetrythisname]

To all those thinking of leaving:

Please stay. We need you. We have to fight this.

I said the same thing. We can't just leave the country with him and his establishment in power. We need to turn this back over.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Yep, including the people who genuinely believe concentration camps will come back and minorities will be shot in the streets.

Like I get the disappointment, the disgust, the worry that the country will be run by an idiot who's all talk and all bluster.

But speaking as someone who did not vote for Trump but who does advocate rationalism, I'm pretty sure that genocide isn't going to get legalized.

Just a feeling.

Depends on if you're wearing a badge or not.

 

[Reckheim]

CNN breh being too real

Imma cry.

Yeh ... he is laying it down. Smart dude.

 

[Escape Goat]

On a serious note how bad is it for Clinton?

Shes circling the drain.

 

[newjeruse]

I can't sleep. I can't speak. I feel like shit about Hillary losing, but I feel even worse that everything we did to get Obama in the White House is all for not. It now feels like one step forward and two steps back.

I hate myself for getting cocky about this election, when all the indicators from the GOP primary said not to.

I'm mad at big data, which I put so much faith into, completely letting us down. Podcasts like Keepin' It 1600 sound so smug in hindsight.

Ugh. I'm a mess of emotions. At least I'm lucky to have a support system in a super liberal part of the country to commiserate with. I can't imagine what it feels like to be a minority or immigrant right now.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

How the heck is voting for Donald Trump a vote for the little guys and against the elites? He is a god damn billionaire and part of the elites. Why would he care more about the little guys than other billionaires? I don't understand the mentality.

rednecks are fucking stupid

 

[Kusagari]

That exit poll posted above is possibly the scariest thing I've seen tonight. The most Trump friendly, and biggest, portion of the electorate wasn't old white fucks. It was 45-64 white fucks that still have decades to live.

 

[Wishmaster92]

fuck you white people
fuck you racists
fuck you sexists
fuck you 2016

What the fuck is this? How is this tolerated.

 

[cornerman]

The environment is the real loser. Just hope we don't get a war out of Trump....I can weather the other stuff.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

Bill Maher on Sunday

This moment really struck me at the time. Only now do I understand the full weight.

 

[The Auxiliary]

Wow VanJones... Truly this is the series finale.

 

[Inspector Jones]

I can't say if Bernie would have won; but I'm confident he had a better chance at winning the Hillary. Polls during the primaries showed this, more Hillary supporters would have voted for Bernie then Bernie supporters for Hillary, and most of all you would have had the excitement of millennials backing him on social media.

I know it's anecdotal, but no one I know in my age range (26) was excited to vote for Hillarly...assuming they voted for her at all. Sorry Dems, you backed the wrong horse.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Wait, the risk of Trump winning is real?

He already won

 

[Ambient80]

So Nate Silver's career is over right?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

I mean, their model was closer than almost every single other one

 

[BasicMath]

Any chances of Bernie running again in 2020? Seems very likely.

If the Dems have any sort of brains or organization left after this, they'll push out a replacement or the man can run for it but that's unlikely.

I think this result actually gives Bernie more standing power within the party but the party is going to be a lot weaker than it would have been under Clinton.

 

[bobbychalkers]

We don't deserve black women...

 

[MThanded]

PA is just astounding. Clinton basically got exactly what Obama did 4 years ago in Philly & the Burbs when he won by 300K & may still lose

[Surfinn]

Can Van Jones run please?

 

[Kayhan]

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

His career will be over when all the other pollsters are flipping burgers because they were even more wrong.

 

[Steel]

On a serious note how bad is it for Clinton?

Bad. It's not impossible for her to win, but it's getting difficult to see now.

 

[MUnited83]

"We can vote in a dangerously unhinged bigot who waffles on what he believes literally every 15 minutes, but don't you DARE say anything about white people"

Mmmmmhm.

Yeaaaaap.

 

[Extollere]

Saying on NBC that the NRA just bought a Supreme Court seat. :/

 

[megarockexe]

Man, this CNN bit. Everything is going to get so much worse. Who knows if it will ever even get better.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Ok, can't watch this bullshit CNN panel pretend that Donald Trump isn't a fucking bigot

Yup they just ignored the fuck out of Van Jones. He's only person to mention race on there for hours

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Trump is going to go after the women who accused him of sexual assault isn't he? With the power of the presidency at his disposal. How horrifying.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Stay. We need you more than ever, now. Don't abandon the people who lack the means to emigrate.

I wasn't serious, I just feel both helpless and sick and I don't drink. Drinking would probably help right now, but I'm not going to head down that road with my family history.

 

[SpartanN92]

fuck you white people
fuck you racists
fuck you sexists
fuck you 2016

Mods what the fuck?

How's this allowed to fly?

 

[poodaddy]

Our new future. Trump winning give the deplorables a voice.

I've always considered myself a patriot but today I feel genuinely disgusted. For the first time in my life I genuinely wish I wasn't here; I wish I wasn't raising my child here. I'm ashamed.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Hillary spent near 2 billion on her campaign? Jesus christ.

 

[Damaniel]

So Nate Silver's career is over right?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

Nah - he was wrong, but closer than any of his competitors.

Polling as we know it is probably over though. We're doing something fundamentally wrong if Brexit and Trump can both win even though the polls almost universally said otherwise.

 

[GSG Flash]

Van Jones throwing out truth bombs

Honestly, Van Jones 2020 on the Dems ticket, that would be perfect

No, but Sam Wang's might be.

 

[PodcastFips]

On a serious note how bad is it for Clinton?

Really bad.

 

[samn]

Be like not my problem.

It is his problem. I bet he's scrambling trying to think of what he can do to limit the damage Trump can do in the months he has left.

I wonder if he now regrets giving the NSA free reign over the surveillance of the entire planet.

[Graphics Horse]

BBC are now telling us what happens if there's a draw.

I just want it over-over so I can go to sleep.

Who's bright idea was it to have an even number of EC votes instead of an odd one anyway?

 

[m_shortpants]

I remember a year ago when Trump was running, I saw people in this very forum cheering on Trump because they thought it was hilarious. And I remember back then thinking that this was dangerous. And here we are.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Can Van Jones run please?

Nope.

 

[gabbo]

Could she not demand recounts in some of these states?

 

[Fox Mulder]

To all those thinking of leaving:

Please stay. We need you. We have to fight this.

It's time to say fuck America. Get yours while you can and fuck your neighbors. This shit is too divided.
