The End is Nigh: US Presidential Election Thread Part XVI

[LemonMelon]

Because it's a disaster.

I get by.

 

[bono_212]

Forgot that.

He ran a campaign of racism and xenophobia after 8 years of an African American prrsident, and rural whites ate it up hook, line and sinker.

This is also a direct attack on race and on marriage equality... and by the end if these 5 years, if he wins, he could easily erase all of it. ALL of it.

This is so disheartening

And women's rights, because you best believe the dream of government mandated maternity leave is absolutely gone now.

Exit polls showing women and POC voted Trump 54 to 46%.

I'd just like to extend an early happy holidays and New Year to our Trump supporters before you take a coincidental sabbatical from the forum.

We'll see you guys in January

FYI, Pence is next in command.

It sunk in for me an hour ago.

What am I going to do? Move out of the country (where to? To what prospects?) Cry? Retreat to a far-left-progressive echo chamber and trade conspiracy theories until the next election cycle?

Nah, I'm going to make myself as irreplaceable as possible at work and hope Trump doesn't set us back 30 years.

That wasn't really directed at you. I just disagreeing with whomever said that Trump is not going to implement most of the horrible policies he's been talking about in the campaign.

 

[bono_212]

Pathetic. I'm sorry, but that's pathetic.

Yes.

I feel more unsafe now than I did 4 hours ago, but I'm not leaving. Not yet anyway.

I will say that I feel let down by my natural optimism. Things do tend to get better.

But not always. That's where we are now. So we'll fight to make it better.

It's just stunning how wrong the polls were. She's basically hit her numbers. He's over performed. Big data failed.

 

[bono_212]

Well, peef, can you believe it? Your vote mattered. 2000+ vote difference right now.


Edit: this reads sarcastic, I didn't mean for it to. I legit meant can you believe it came down to such a razor and for once an average Joe's vote really makes a difference.

 

[DaveC]

But the ACA isn't universal Healthcare.

i get that.

i'm saying there is no excuse these days for a country (certainly not one that claims to be a liberal western democracy in the 21st century) not to provide basic health care to everyone who lives there.

you guys both have space at my house in toronto if need be.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I have zero problem admitting that I underestimated the hatred still out there in the hearts of white America.

I call the couch

 

[DaveC]

can you at least give us a timeframe on how long you intend to shitpost so we can avoid this place until then?

 

[Irvine511]

Exit polls showing women and POC voted Trump 54 to 46%.

How? I mean that honestly. It's like Russian hackers or something.

I'll eat shit, if people want. Guess I was wrong. But everything was wrong. I won't apologize for reading and analyzing the information available and drawing conclusions.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Yep. A complete and total asshole is likely going to be our next president because way too many people brought into his BS. You must be so very proud.

 

[DaveC]

I call the couch

you and travis are about to get very close.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

oh please, yawn.

you have zero idea what just happened. Most of you don't. It will sink in eventually and then you will come back to the table and realize there is a place for you we have left sitting there.

In the meantime...0430 comes early for me so cheers folks...

This.

Let Mrs. G. Have his day, I guess. Doesn't change the reasoning I had for how I felt. I spent a lot of time in college studying statistics for audience research. I'm a big believer in polls. I feel betrayed by math.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

probably be relative as to what you guys did to me earlier today, actually im going to bed now so you are good. Cheers mate

It's fairly clear what happened.

Whites. Gary Johnson.

I don't want a seat at Trump's table. You can keep it.

 

[bono_212]

Whites. Gary Johnson.

And to think, we didn't even need him to get pot legalized all over the place today. YOU COULD HAVE HAD BOTH, PEOPLE.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

You have always been very nice to me...i am sorry if that offended you.

Hey Trav...

Nate Cohn put it best. Non college educated white people voted like a minority. And they are 40% of the population.

[bono_212]

18 votes holy shit. That's incredibly close in NH.

You can go ahead and turn that light off.

I really don't get that mindset, though. My family aren't college-educated, and we're white, and lower-class. And yet we still voted for Hillary. Clearly, I'm seriously disconnected from others within my economic/racial/educational status.

Edit: And I REALLY don't get women and people of color leaning towards Trump. How in the hell did that happen?

Blaming Russian hackers for your party's misfortunes isn't particularly reasonable, is it?
