People with kids, 529 plans for colleges, IRAs, 401ks, looking to buy a house. That's a lot of losses if Trump wins. And that's the least of the losses because a money can be replaced. Race relations would be sent back to pre Civil rights era. Countries like China will point to this race and say that democracy doesn't work. I can't believe third parties got >3% of FL vote as well either. The media definitely did not do its job by pushing false equivalency throughout this. Feels horrible right now
I'm truly baffled. Even if Trump loses this I don't even know what to think of this country. Everything is fucked.
Clinton is absurdly qualified. She is a better candidate than anyone else who decided to run in the Democratic primary. Clinton has been going on and on about working for the middle class. Her plans work towards that end.Trumps policies are cancer for the middle class. These workers will be worse off. They aren't voting for economics (of if they are then they are misinformed - thanks Media). They are voting for Racism/Sexism. What could she possibly say that is different?
Everything worked.. the lies, the fear mongering, the wall the fascism, reality TV wins the day. Sad to be an American right now.
You're basically saying everyone is fucking stupid then. That they saw those debates, and Trump barely able to form coherent sentences, and though "Hmm, this seems like a good idea!" That's all I'm getting, that everyone is fucking stupid.
Even if Hillary wins, the future looks bleak.
i consider this a near-death experience
Well, they just don't care. They want racism.They're also anti-intellectual.
Sucks but if she loses this. We need a popular charismatic white guy in 2020. I thought we'd moved past this, but America is still plenty racist I see.
My wife is looking into immigration attorney's as she has family in Europe. This is the worst.
I don't care slim the margin may be, so long as Hillary can pull out the victory.Like...there's a good chance millions of lives depend on this happening.I'd much rather have had Romney win 4 years ago...
QuoteHillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.Fuck NO. Dude, you assured us for weeks that that goddamn oppo was going to drop any moment, and now you're here all "oh, MI is in the bag guys." Fuck that. Sources or GTFO.
Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.
If Michigan really goes red after all the horrible shit that happened in Flint then this country is beyond redemption.
Push for these things. Work on rebuilding relationships with unions and strengthening them. Don't just give them lip service and say "Oh well that's gone and it was inevotable, sorry." It doesn't matter if they get things done so long as people believe that they're trying.STOP ever treating Republicans as colleagues. This is war.I'm not saying this fixes the problem. It doesn't stop racism. But it helps the Democrats PR problem, which is that they don't care about the Rust Belt.Whether we like to admit it or not the white part of the working class is still sizeable. People are always fine with Bill turning rightward due to Reagan, why can't any of you admit that the Dems have to adapt now?
If there were oppos and people decided to not use them because they felt the election was already won, I hope those people don't sleep another night for 4 years straight. So tired of Democrats playing soft ball with Republicans.
this is the worst time-linethis is not a drillunbelievable
It really won't. Even if he's only president for 4 years (and that's a big damn if, considering what he's going to do to the media that portrays him in a negative light), he's going to do a ton of damage home and abroad. All of the progress made under Obama will be erased and then some.
This is the saddest day of my life.
We won't survive the climate change Trump's going to do nothing to stop, though.
Seriously, how can we calm down? Regardless of what you think, Donald Fucking Trump is really fucking close to becoming the President of this country.Even if hillary barely pulls this out, He is THIS FUCKING CLOSE to running this nation.A bigoted buffoon sociopathic fascist.So yeah, stop telling people to calm down. People have every right to freak the fuck out.
I wonder how drugged up Amir0x is
A racist, pussy grabbing reality tv star is going to be president. With the portrait and everything. I knew things were awful, but had no clue at the sheer severity. Real Orwellian shit.
I feel like absolute shitI feel like a fool
Lol how the fuck are we actually losing right nowSomething wake me up if this is a nightmare because the everything is fucked.
Tonight, the multi-cultural experiment dies. Sad.
Abortion will basically be illegal in 2 to 4 years that's my big prediction.
Of course GAF could never see this coming.Everyone not vocally YASSS QUEEN had long been banned.It so shocking to them because they literally created the echo chamber they are banning people for saying GAF have become.
Democrats were idiots. Clintons are not likable.
Quote from: Rman on November 08, 2016, 10:35:24 PMDemocrats were idiots. Clintons are not likable. Also this. Obama rallied people with change, Clinton is a return to business as usual.
What a weird way to lose the Cold War.

I'm so just done..I never thought this would happen...we probably should just kill ourselves now and soon.
Please don't let this be the day this Grand Experiment died.
The world becoming hostile towards others once again. Back onto the road to conflict. Hey at least gun rights will be preserved for a bit, might actually need to look into one.
Really fucking sad right now. That this horrifying monster is in this position says a lot about an awful lot of Americans. And it's nothing good. Similar to how there's lots of soul-searching in the UK, post-Brexit. America is headed for the same thing in the wake of this potentially devastating result.
3 branches of government in Republican control once again. We are on the brink of utter disaster. God help us.
Trump will be impeached before he puts his hands on the bible, pence will be president and do everything congress wants. We're fucked.
And yea, given the way the evening has played out, I've given up hope.I tried my best and convinced as many to vote as possible in my community. But America's true colors are shining this election quite clearly.
You are way too calm in this situation, homedawg.
The executive branch being filled with absolutely horrible opportunistic people is the most disgusting thing about Trump winning.
I just... I can't believe it. I'm nauseous and scared. We've come so far in 8 years, and we're about to piss it all away. Don't Ask Don't Tell is probably going to get reinstated, gay marriage repealed, trade wars started, the economy is going to collapse, Global Warming will officially pass the point of no return, millions of people are going to die. 2 weeks ago, it all seemed so certain. Then Comey, And now, tonight, Trump massively overperforms. And here we are.
Might be the Darkest day in US history.
QuoteChickens coming home to roost big time.That feeling when you kill a candidate (Bernie) who had positive numbers with all the people Hillary has shit numbers with. Establishment democrats never cared that the majority of this country truly despises Hillary/ democrats for legitimate reasons that go beyond racism. Big fat I told you so from the leftist idealists who supposedly don't know what they're talking about.If trump wins (or loses slightly) I hope dems realize what the fuck went wrong and get some sense for the years to come, but I suspect they'll continue to be stupid and blame everyone but themselves.Anyone legit surprised by this result should start taking leftist critiques of democrats/clinton a lot more seriously.Any mods on right now?

please note that it's not like us dems have a plan b. Even in a midterm we can't take back anything due to unfavorable districts and a bad senate map. I'm honest in that there might not be legit elections as we know it in 2020.This was an existential election from Democrats, and when the cards were played we look to be down one.
Last post I'll make; I'm pretty much done here. I didn't realize that the U.S. would freak out that much about a black dude running the country for a little while. I thank you guys for posting, but after such a massive polling failure that indicates that a bunch of white people who hate me will run everything and destroy whatever of my rights that they can, I am pretty hopeless right now.
America has fallen.
ObamacareClimate ChangeSurpreme CourtVoting Rights Act.TaxesOh my god. This could end up being a fucking disaster.
America isn't what I thought it was.
I think... I think I have to move to Germany or something. I'm Jewish, and I don't feel safe in Trump's America.
And with this, America will enter into probably the worst 4 years of modern history.
They are all gone. Donald Fucking Trump can do whatever he wants
its over you pieces of shit. You did it. congrats. rapist is president now. fuck minorities. fuck the budget. nuke the foreigners.
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.
I'm going to bed.I'm going to try not to wake up.
Democracy is a mistake
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. :/
Prior to this, we all really thought we were the majority, you know? That there were actually enough cosmopolitan urbanites and minorities to overmatch the rural white vote. That the only reason we didn't have the House as well as the Senate was because of little tricks and lies like gerrymandering. We were wrong. There's more of them than us, and at the end of the day, this, this disgusting excuse for a man, is what they needed to make themselves known.
It really should have. What America really needed was the advent of a New New Deal.Instead you got the wanna be dictator placing blame on minorities and the educated.We have history as a guide for what happens when the latter wins.
Hate, lies, fear.....America will not survive this. Not in the long run. This is the descent for the planet really. Forget about climate change. Progressives can forget about everything for decades. The worst of us won.
My last post ended at the end of the page, but again, blaming Hillary or her team is ridiculous.Think about the race, and think about how you would design a perfect candidate to win this race. That perfect candidate would still be a demagogue and shit. How would you be proud of nation that elects a person like that is beyond me.
These shitheels have been energized by all this fucking hate and divisiveness. Who the fuck lives like this, honestly? How can anybody fucking live like that?
It really does feel like white america told me to **** myself. This shit hurts. I'm not going to lie.
I can't take this life is over as we know it.
What's the point of telling people to organize and shit?The turnout is up. The bigots in rural and suburban counties found their authoritarian bigot to follow.What could have been done to stop him?
If you are an innocent civilian in Syria, your chances of dying just went up a fuck load. This is terrifying.
And pence may not cow tow to Russia, but the supreme court judges, possibly 3 of them, will fuck America for the rest of our life time, which a candidate in 2020 will have to deal with. So global warming, Iraq deal, abortion, gay marriage, clean energy, are all gone.
My future is completely fucked. I am barely on my feet. My insurance is going to get ripped out from underneath me. Student loans are suffocating me and the Supreme Court is lost for the next several decades. It's over.
Guys I am sobbing right now; I can't fucking take this.I just want this to be a dream; I just want someone to wake me up and say that she won and that everything's going to be ok.
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.
Oh and Stump getting a new tag
They're about to see everything they've ever hoped for die. A Supreme Court against them for decades.Republicans in control of the federal government and a vast majority of state governments will gerrymander and suppress voting without hindrance. End of any environmental regulation. End of any shared wealth improvements.
This is going to be a generational disaster.I don't think we all fully appreciate how bad this will be going forward. Trump will get a lot of SCOTUS appointments. Health care and climate change is fucked. Income inequality is fucked.Also a good chance of a major recession if things go their way...Literally have friends with the means to move abroad thinking about it. One friend already told me he's looking in Singapore. And he isn't joking in the slightest.
This is so historic. This election is going to shape the nation more than every single election probably since lincoln.Republicans will get rid of the filibuster, and have an unabated path to pass all the legislation they've always wanted. Say goodbye to Obamacare and many other welfare programs. Say hello to privatized social security and medicaid, and huge tax cuts to the rich.Say goodbye to a liberal supreme court, or even a moderate supreme court if Kennedy or a liberal dies or steps down.
Screw you guys who think Hillary is the problem here. The voting populace is the problem.
3rd parties fucked us.
The world is fucked. Nowhere will be safe. I'm at a loss for words.
I have chest pain.
The country is sick, and as tonight proves... sicker than it has been since perhaps the Civil War.
Don't know of this went through earliest but had a panic attack earlier. Was pretty scary but eventually was able to recover. Going to stop looking at results now for my own sanity.
The media, the bigots, all of them...this is on all of them.I am in such a stunned position right now. He's a racist, misogynist, sexual predator, tax evader, know nothing.HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HOW OUR GOVERNMENT WORKS OR FOREIGN POLICY WORKS. HE'S A SOCIAPATHIC MORON. And he's likely our next President.What am I supposed to think. This is such a disaster.
If Trump wins, he's there for 8 years (if not longer). You'd better believe all of those voter ID laws will go into effect, and even if the white rural vote doesn't come out again in full force, the percentage of disenfranchised minorities will more than cover the difference.
this is it folks. Im already having the text conversations with my sister about what this means.you fucking pieces of shit

The polls were spectacularly off, what the hell happened.
We just elected a fascist who controls every branch of gpvernment. I don't feel like I'm exaggerating by saying there will not be an election in 2020. This is it. This is the end.
Sorry. Fuck half this country. Fucking hope their racist asses end up in fucking bread lines. I hope automation takes their fucking jobs so there is no fucking safety night. Fuck. Country is fucked for 30+ years.
