In a hindsight it's not that surprising. Barely anyone cared for Clinton. There was no enthusiasm for her. Most of her support was just "better her than Trump". You could see it during rallies, where Clinton struggled to get big crowds or how few retweets she got. Meanwhile Trump's base loves him. Add the mess with Bernie and polls that all shown Clinton winning and the ridiculous articles like "Clinton has 200 ways to win, Trump has none" and democratig electorate wasn't hugely motivated to go out and vote.

In countries where a lot of people don't bother to vote, the candidates with enthusiasm on their side tend to win, because their supporters show up at the polls in bigger numbers.
 
The deplorable statement by Hilary at the alt-right may be true but Trump was able to extend that to anyone of supported him.

People in the middle may not have liked having people they personally knew called deplorable for voting Trump (even though it was applied to a select group).
 
USA is done. The country has been going down hill since 2008. Obama tried but seeing the people voted for trump which will turn back everything he did it it has been for nothing.

- rich will continue to get richer.
- climate change deal will be thrown in the trash can
- blacks, Muslims and other minorities will keep being treated as second hand civilians.

Right, so why would Obama drop a nuke in the Middle East a few hours from now? The joke works if you say January but "a few hours," that's Obama still.

We need you next election man. Those of you feeling like shit, I can't tell you to feel otherwise but don't do anything rash. We need you.

Hindsight is 20/20. Your post is wrong on many levels.
 
I imagine that a lot of people are going to be moving north of the border; I wonder if that could result in the US becoming even more conservative.

Hoping he manages to get himself impeached fast though.
 
Congrats America. You did it.

You took a near impossible situation and made it reality.

No one thought it possible, but you achieve the impossible. Because you're America.

I thought for once we had this in the bag, but no. It wasn't to be.


Brexit is no longer the most embarrassing political blunder of 2016. Smh.


But I'm nothing if not gracious in defeat so a tip of the hat to my American bros. You beat us again. Well played.

Yours sincerely, UK.

Congratulations, United States. You are as gullible as the rest of the world has been saying you are since forever.

Gonna go to bed. I have no delusions this is some nightmare. I am worried I might find some neonazi tomorrow who tries to stop me from going about my day because I am brown and have a funny accent.
 
Progressive politics are dead in the United States. Try again in 30 years I guess.
 
Looking forward to being discriminated against and treated as a parasite because of the color of my skin, something totally out of my control!
 
What really pisses me off is that the Republican's are going to get that vacant Supreme Court seat now. Will there ever only be a SC assignment when either party has full control over all levels of government?
 
From a black president to a quasi white supremacist president. that's how much americans hate clinton.

fucking memes

Has anyone checked on Bill Mahar?

If GAF is freaking out this bad then that motherfucker has collapsed and needs CPR.

dude he was sued by Donald Trump a few years ago. Now imagine what kind of shit commander-in-chief power (from a man so vindictive) can bring.

I'm no fan of Maher but this Friday is the most curious I've ever been about an episode of his show. Seeing it immediately.

Anyways I have little ground to stand on since I don't live there but fuck your country. This is an absolutely disgraceful decision. And fuck the DNC for pushing Clinton as well, very idiotic move on their part.
 
Try nominating Bernie next time, you guys asked for this. Millions of working class Americans have gotten poorer under Obama's "nominally left wing but actually status quo" policies, why would they vote for more of the same or worse from Hillary the Wall Street shill? They want and deserve change but Democrat voters ensured their only option for change was a right wing racist nut job.
