i'm guessing a lot
This election seems to be rural white people who voted for Trump are like the Mob in The Dark Knight hiring the Joker in desperation.
Yes the rural white voted for Trump, but it was blue collar whites in the rust belt, that usually votes democrat, that put him over the edge for the win.
This is surprisingly accurate.This election seems to be rural white people who voted for Trump are like the Mob in The Dark Knight hiring the Joker in desperation.

I was one of them. I thought she had it in the bag so didn't bother. :-/
Sounds like the UK with FTTP.

It's not like this is an off year. Seems like there's always a challenge to get younger adults to actually vote.

Look at the number of eligible voters in America. Then look at the number of them that are even registered. Less than half are. Surge of rural white voters and most of the country just not giving a fuck is how this happened.

Still can't believe that's the "You're fired" guy up there, this is surreal.

You + a few million others thought the same thing
Well, stupidity ruled the day... So why not get some more from disinterested faux-intellectuals who actually thought Trump and Clinton were two sides of the same coin?
You know what? Maybe we need him to completely fuck up the country.

I'm in shock, just kinda going through the motions and trying not to think too much about it.
Yes.

Obama to make a statement soon. I know he won't, but I hope he takes the gloves off.
You took that post a bit too literally, Mr. Tomorrow Children

Well some of you did
Shameful shit.
Here in the Netherlands it's consistently a 75-80% turnout, and our elections are not even close to as hotly contested as yours.
Is this the electoral college fucking things up? I guess your archaic voter registration systems aren't helping either.
Surprise, Half-Life 3 is real, but it's not a video game.

I don't think I've ever been this ashamed of the USA in my life. I'm beyond disappointed in the nation as a whole.
Nothing more I can say.
Nothing more I can say.
That number is absurd.
Shit.
Hope the non-voters never ever complain then. Damn.
They should have made it for VR instead of R.
Being willfully ignorant. Welcome to America.
The many are lunatics too.
Holding their heads up high! Because by abstaining, they can't take the blame for having a shitty candidate.
I've actually heard this a few times today already.
Faking it
Sitting on their ass like the dimwits during Brexit.
And all who holds position of power are republicans. I certainly won't "chill" until I know that my rights wont be trampled on because Im not a straight white male.
Is this real?

Wow.
Wow.

It's already being passed around on GAF now. I stand by my words that at least as a protest putting Johnson or Stein gives the statistical evidence there was x millions of voters lost by both campaigns. Not 46.9% that just didn't give any shits at all about American politics. It also gets you to vote on other important matters on the ballot and lastly, while optimistic, every person you get in a booth CAN change their mind at the last second.
Nearly 50% not turning out for this vote is absolutely depressing.

Yes.
They could've at least chosen a picture where he's smiling. That photo looks nightmarish, like an angry devil/tyrant looking down on his new empire.

They didn't care. Political apathy
Some don't like the candidates so why bother
Some may also be voter suppression
Some were protesting to stick it to the man!
Some thought she had it in the bag

Wait, did America just get its first atheist president?
I am unsure on the fate of the filibuster but it will take a long time for anything to change on that front, it won't be his few few months in office at least. There will be a lot of push and pull, and the fact that Dems will hold Speaker gives them a break point to gridlock. Moreover, I expect parts of the elected will actually filibuster the attempt to break the filibuster.
Mind I don't think the country is about to explode or anything, and this election is actually an eye-opening commentary on the systemic problems under everything. But it will have long-term repercussions even if nothing actually happens.
Also I fully expect the current moderate or only-partially leaning SCOTUS members to stay on their seats and dance with death for four years if they have to given the current political landscape. And I also expect Trump is going to do some weird shit with whomever he nominates anyway.
