And with this, America will enter into probably the worst 4 years of modern history.

Godspeed brothers, we're thinking of you from north of the border.

Clinton was a shitty candidate. Yes, she beat Bernie. Doesn't change that she ran a shitty campaign that was far to complacent. She outspent Trump like mad, and she bailed out on states that she thought were locks.

She's a fucking idiot, and now we're going to have to deal with a literal racist as President. A literal racist party in control of the House, and the SCOTUS is gone for another generation.

Thanks for nothing, lady.

How is she and idiot? No one predicted this kind of turn out. No one. How can something so unprecedented be held against her? None of the pollsters or anyone saw this coming, so I don't get how that's against her when it was impossible to see the "hidden white voter" wasn't pure nonsense after all.

Oh my god. This could end up being a fucking disaster.

He'd have the entire Congress.

This wasn't ever a joke. But again, we will get what we deserve. The people who voted for Obama have now decided to erase what they voted for if Trump ends up winning.

Trump is literally, the polar opposite of what Obama represents.

Unbelievable and truly unpredictable....

I had joked about doing graduate school in Europe before, but tomorrow morning I'll probably be filling out applications... I can't believe that "moving to Canada" legitimately feels like the only rational option....

Yeah I absolutely hate thinking just what Bernie could have done.

Nothing.

A blank slate isn't going to change the echo chamber or reality distortion field that these deep red counties are providing voters from. A Commie Socialist from VT would play just as bad as Emailgazi.

Plus that's really the point. People are voting because of Trumps lies and propaganda, not despite them. Bernie isn't going to fare any better when the numbers outside of democratic strongholds are run up this much.

The "deplorables" ain't voting for anyone in government. They're voting for the guy who promised to blow it up.

We on the far left have literally been warning you guys for decades that hollowing out the Rust Belt would lead to reactionaries. It does not give us pleasure to say this. This is our worst nightmare too.

All this Hillary blaming is ridiculous. The way that a candidate like Trump can win mean competency means nothing. Why would you want to win a race where the way to win is to be a demagogue. The western world has to take a real hard look at democracy.

Well, perhaps there were red flags. It should be easy to see if the base and grass roots of your political foe is riled up. In that case, with those signs, they should have started some countermeasures in some states.

I wouldn't assume that any of Trump's actual policy priorities will be the first up in the Republican congress. I mean sure, they'll repeal Obamacare, but the party elite still controls the majority of house and senate members and will at least focus on policies we are familiar with, even if they are still bad ones.

I just turned my TV off. I can't take this anymore.

I've lost all faith in this country. Tomorrow, I have to go to work, putting a uniform that represents the country that I used to love.

I can't do it anymore. I'm in tears as I type this.

I wanted Bernie, I really did. But I'm not going to blame this on Hillary being a bad candidate or anything. As much as I wanted to feel the Bern, Hilldawg was a strong candidate too. This is on the fucking media. The media created this monster. They let blatant lies hold equal importance to the truth.

I'm white, so I don't know how bad this will get for me. I'm Portuguese though, with dark hair and kinda tan skin, so I dunno if I'm white enough for Trump's America. I'm just so scared for the future. I kinda wanted to have kids, but I don't know if I can in good conscience with Trump as president. I'm in California, so maybe state's rights will prevail. I don't know. I'm so ashamed of the white people in this fucking country.

How the hell can we break this grip the right has on rural white voters?

I can't see how the country can move forward when massive swathes of the electorate is brainwashed on right-wing media that tells them that their ghost-town of a town and their lost manufacturing jobs will return magically.


Until that situation breaks, I don't see how America moves forward.

It's not like it's going to be entertaining to make fun of the Trump admin for the next four years since he's going to make comedy against him illegal. :/

Bernie Sanders lost the primary by million of votes. If there was some mythical better candidate, I don't believe he was the one.

He lost the Democratic primary. We don't really know to be honest how he'd have done in the general election where the electorate is whiter.

This election had been so crazy he might have won.
