Unsurprising. The level of apathy towards the government has never been higher.
I'm not American, so I'm most probably wrong on this but, isn't Obama an atheist?

Much worse. Brexit was at around 27%.
Obama IMO is most likely agnostic. As other Presidents may have been. They'll never admit it though as it's American political suicide.
Sounds like it's pretty perfect then.

Uh no, he's a practicing Christian.
Wow, this is giving me some Biff Tannen Pleasure Paradise vibes
But the economy if it becomes a holiday though
canadian here so perhaps I can't relate as much, but for me considering the situation 46.9% of non voter actually make sense.
Probably a whole lots of them assumed that Clinton would win and that no subsequent effort where needed for her win, while most trump fans voted because they knew that trumps was on the brink of behing defeated.
to compare (maybe not a good comparison but still). if you assume that you woould do poorly on your next school exam, you will go on and study hours for trying to rectify the problem, while if you assume that you will ace the exam no problem, you probably won't make much efforts to study that much.
Perhaps I am completly wrong however, but here is my opinion anyway.
Real shame that it had to go that way however.

Well, yeah it is, but it's so fucking on the nose it's actually kind of hilarious, like self-parody.

Damn...
Thanks. I stand corrected then.
Biff Tannen at least looked like he was having a good time.
I mean, I think most politicians are behind closed doors, but Obama seems less likely to be atheist than Trump. He certainly goes to church and stuff. Trump didn't even really pretend he wasn't until halfway through the primaries.

There's an alternate universe where Hillary won, and no one was surprised.

So does this mean there won't be any Spirit Cooking in the White House?
This is literally the cesspool of the internet. This is the comments section of Liveleak
Yeah, America deserves this L.
My goodness.
How did you guys let this happen?
I'm an American in the sense that I've lived here almost all my life, but I've never been able to vote just because I happened to be born south of the border. Few years ago I was granted a work visa and it felt great not living in fear of being deported to a country you hardly know. I still couldn't vote, however, so I and many others were trusting liberals, fellow Latinos, and Americans in general with our votes. After busting ass working, doing well in school, and staying out of trouble, now there's a very real chance I might get deported for the heinous crime of not being born here. I don't even get angry about this anymore, just completely disappointed. You let me down America.
And the thing is I actually quite love this country. I mean I grew up here, this is my country. It has many glaring flaws no doubt, but there's still potential for it to be even better. It's sad that politics has been boiled down to soundbites and zingers. There's very little incentive for actual discourse when mainstream media is focused on ratings, and with the advent of social media people can digest news from sources that tell them what they want to hear. I really was hoping the country wouldn't further devolve to reality tv politics with no substance, yet here we are.

In practice he's not.
Fuck every non-voter and fuck whoever voted for Johnson.

I didn't deal with it, just reading the replies was eye opening. Don't know what to think, this election is a disaster, I don't like Hillary, I loathe at the idea of more guys like Trump running for office and having their VP run he show. This sets a dangerous precedent that we should worry about in future elections.
Hillary fucked up, she doubled down on minority groups and ignored blue collar America.

Did Gus Johnson prepped a concession speech?

This is why our democracy is a joke. Some countries have like 80% turnout. Most Americans think of politics as a weird game that doesn't affect the world.
Why are people focusing on 46.9% not voting as opposed to Hillary being such a goddamn awful candidate that she can't even hold on to blue states? She's the reason that this racist, misogynistic idiot is in office.
For fucks sake Democrats, pick a likable candidate in 4 years.

Johnson voters weren't going to Clinton.
But then so did the rest of the world. I'm from Canada and at work we're just livid over the stupidity of americans.

I don't think it's fair to say Pence will be running America. There is no doubt Trump is going to need help with foreign affairs, but when it comes to the economy I think he will be able to call the shots.
I love that guy.

Gracious and professional as always.
You know what. He's out of office in months and no danger to you anymore.
These fucking made up false narrative nonsense has to fucking stop I can't take it.
No one knows what Trump stands for because his entire election path was pandering and flipping on a dime to pander more.
What is actually worrying is the people he puts in charge: Pence, SCOTUS, the Cabinet, other positions and agencies put at risk, and so on.

I must have missed the part of the Bible that said one should accumulate as much money and power as possible no matter the expense.

Damn near half of America not voting for the president is pretty objectively fucked up, while people not liking Clinton is subjective.

The biggest problem with democracy is how stupid the average voter is.
I'm not in the US but I feel sad this man is going to leave the White House
I feel America took him for granted
