America is the laughing stock of the world.

Fixed.

not like this

Trump is winning because of record Republican turnout. That isn't Hilary's fault. That is Trump finally giving the rural white racist fucks exactly what they wanted all along in a political candidate.

Honestly its more the anti establishment thing along with the "anyone but Hillary" movement than race. Many of the folks here in NH that I saw switch to Trump where part of the Bernie or Trump group. They really just did not want another traditional politician.

 

[excelsiorlef]

people keep saying that

But the young generation has racists just like the older generation. People have been saying 'Wait until the old people die' for the past 40 years or here.

That's why I said if we're lucky.

 

[Black Mamba]

This is fucking beyond the pale at this point. It is always the responsibility of the losing candidate that they lost. We *knew* that Trump was giving rural white racist fucks what they wanted. We've known that for ages. So why did we run a milquetoast candidate who most Democrats aren't enthused by and doesn't connect to the labour movement?

Seriously, look at yourselves.

Or maybe Democrats maxxed out and Republicans simply didn't?

She's still going to win the popular vote, FWIW. The electoral college screws urban cities once again.

 

[jonjonaug]

What's sad is that I'll be fine.

I'm white, straight, married, work in a growing job market, and I have a white kid with a white name.

It's everyone else who is fucked.

That's the tragedy. Everyone who isn't me or who looks like me.

Don't worry, with Trump in charge of the economy I'm sure that growing job market thing won't last.

The guy who publicly praised numerous dictators is the president of the US, after everyone told him he was a farce. If you think he won't run along the lines of those he praised, you're fooling yourselves. Republicans are going to be scared of losing their seats, so it's extremely unlikely that they wouldn't support him. Most they'll do is quit and Trump's folks will run and win instead.

When Obama leaves, Trump starts to pick his people to replace everyone in every branches and departments. The Republicans pretty much have to approve every one of them.

There are limits to what he could do, but the situation is tilted heavily in his favors, and anything that can allow him to be more like Putin, he'll go with it.

Whatever you do, do not fall into trap of hate and anger. You can't fight anger and hate with more anger and hate. The only way to make someone a better person is to teach them how to be. We are not born to be good or evil, racist or tolerant. It's all learned behavior, and thus can be unlearned if you can be convincing enough and given enough time.

Good luck in coming years, do not break.

 

[Syder]

He really is Mr. Brexit huh. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone shoots him.

SMH

 

[JetBlackPanda]

So, we've got record turnout on both sides, but is it still even a majority of the whole eligible population? I mean don't national elections still clock in less than 50% of the voting-age public in actual votes?

If so, I gotta wonder how everyone who didn't bother to even register is going to feel tomorrow.

Check brexit.

We really are fucking idiots

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I might go sucidal because of this now. There is so many things that will destroy this country that will never be repaired for decades.

Good thing I'm already in Canada.

So you wanted to run a Jewish socialist against a hyped racist electorate....yep makes sense

 

[Ac30]

Geeze, I wonder how this is going to impact Canada

Warmer summers every year from now on, baby!

 

[Electric Eye]

immediately speaking everyone one of those poor rural people that voted for trump are the first to be affected by the financial consequences of his policies. They will feel it the worst and be right back during the Bush years x10. Its gonna get real bad real quick.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

So is Trump going to lock her up?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Hillary is projected to win the popular vote pretty handily though.

(That doesn't mean anything).

 

[MThanded]

Chuck Todd just said we are heading for 269/269

I refuse to believe this. Just let him get the real electoral victory. . This would be the worst possible outcome honestly.

 

[Fragamemnon]

This was always going to to be my last vote in NC. I always looked it as relocation for a better job outlook in the company, now I see it as a flight to safety.

 

[Stinkles]

The tolerant left everyone

Already had to have this conversation with grieving nice people. Guess I understand how partiots fans handle the cognitive dissonance now.

Also this is on Bellicheck.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Rurals came up together and overthrew the suburbans.

Kinda like the barbarians overthrew the romans.

Texas is the template. Dallas is blue, every fucking where else is red.

 

[The Technomancer]

I get people are crushed, but shut the fuck up with this "he's going to turn dictator" bullshit. You guys are fucking loony conspiracy theorists. There's plenty to be upset about and real damage that can be done without freaking out on November 8 that he's gonna blow up the goddamn Reichstag.

Donald Trump wants to imprison his political opponent and bring lawsuits against news agencies that report unfavorably on him

No I don't consider anything too outlandish at this point

 

[Chezzymann]

What the fuck is happening.

The same thing that happened in the primaries. People underestimated him.

 

[TyrantII]

"Don't blame Clinton."

Obama has sky high approval and generic D and generic R are neck and neck. It's obviously Clinton's fault. Like, don't pretend it isn't.

You don't seem to grasp whats actually happening. Hillary is losing GOP counties by double due to GOP turnout. Bernie wasn't going to get those votes either. Those voters are voting based on what Trump says.

For example the panhandle in FL was able to completely wipe out a Hispanic Wave in the cities. This is a massive uprising of uneducated, white folks voting in block for what Trump campaigned on and overcoming the gains any Dem candidate had in the metro areas with women, minorities, and educated folks.

That's not going to help Bernie, or anyone. Democrat turnout is up over 2012, and it means jack shit.

Had my first Jill Stein supporter tell me he regrets his vote. Anyone else?

When are people going to wake the fuck up. THIS ISN'T A FUCKING GAME.

 

[rjinaz]

Where do democrats go from here?

That's a good question. Republicans will have complete control of this country for the next several years most likely.

I'm not sure there is much we can do but wait for that inevitable point where the people get tired of the same old and want to vote in a change.

 

[Goodstyle]

You wanna know what the worst part is? I'm going to have to hear about this fuckwit president for the next 4-8 years. That's going to be painful every fucking time.

 

[Kusagari]

Biden was the only Democrat that could have countered Trump's movement.

He should have been the nominee.

 

[Rentahamster]

Where do democrats go from here?

Vote for progressives who don't look like they have conflicts of interest popping out of their ears.

[streetsahead123]

Well, we did it.

We ruined America.

Way to go, white people.

 

[shinra-bansho]

This fucking sucks.

(That doesn't mean anything).

It's amazing how this is a thing. It's like reverse brexit in a way.

 

[Macadinho94]

the "shy tory" / "shy trump" phenomenon is v interesting. imagine being so ashamed of your political views that you couldn't admit them

 

[Joeytj]

Now what guys? What will the Democrats do? Hillary might win the popular vote, but fuck.

The Supreme Court, the EPA, Obamacare, everything. My god.

 

[Tranqueris]

I can only hope that the blueness of California can help mitigate some of this fucking damage for me.

 

[Makai]

Christie is attorney general. doesn't even matter if he gets indicted. Pardoned

[Fedelias]

Our months of glee and gloating is going to be incredibly embarrassing.

 

[Crosseyes]

He really is Mr. Brexit huh. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone shoots him.

We can only hope.

The country wanted a wider political revolution and the facist was the one who was promising it.

What happens with 269/269?

 

[Barzul]

If it ends up 269/269 I'd take Paul Ryan over Trump

I mean Trump would have all 3 branches of government at his disposal if he wins and has shown he values revenge above all else. The campaign has shown him to be somewhat unhinged. I don't think the gestapo is going to come out tomorrow but this man could do SERIOUS damage to the USA and the world.

Could you spread that message in Europe itself while you're at it? Because in the next few years far right fascism will take hold here as well.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Yep. Same here.

Though maybe this will speed up a potential move to Mexico City with my wife.

 

[Jeels]

Now what guys? What will the Democrats do? Hillary might win the popular vote, but fuck.

The Supreme Court, the EPA, Obamacare, everything. My god.

The senate, the house, state legislatures, governorships. The republicans control the entire country.

 

[witness]

Good thing I'm already in Canada.

Do you have a spare bedroom that I can claim asylum in?

 

[Suikoguy]

Where do democrats go from here?

The only counter for Racial Pandering, that is not countered by people who typically vote for said canidate sitting things out, is Racial Pandering. So I don't know.

Those people who disagreed with Trump yet still voted for him are the problem, they make it so Dems have no real options but to move to the right and start blaming immigrants and foreigners.

Clinton's turnout numbers leave me with no other suggestions...

They have to adapt. If they were smart they would flock to Bernie.

Instead we are probably going to get a bunch of diet racists who no longer openly favor social progress

How would a self proclaimed socialist have gotten more rural votes?
Keep in mind, he would have pushed the same message of diversity, gay rights, etc.
