Like, a Trump presidency would be survivable if Democrats won Congress. He would have just ended up unable to do anything without congress It's not looking like even that will happen. He won't be a do-nothing president. He will trash the economy, he will roll back all progressive policy from the last 20 years, he will roll back enviornmental protections, he will go totally crazy ass free market capitalist, cut taxes to ultra rich and strip Welfare to do it. Is this worth it? i dont think he will strip welfare. trump distinguished himself during the republican primary by his support for government social programs. he often attacked his opponents on wanting to cut social security, etc. and said that he wouldn't cut programs. he's less "free market" oriented than most republicans. it's clear that any republican would have beaten clinton, and they all would have been worse than trump. And if you believe a single word that comes out of his mouth, I've got a casino to sell you. He's gonna hyper invigorate the free trade shit, he's gonna do what he has always done his whole life, and thats look out for Trump. Of course he attacked his opponents on that, it's part of his "scamming the stupid, uneducated rednecks" part of his master plan. I dunno, I think it would have been pretty by the numbers if it was any other Republican. She would have had a massive advantage against Jeb, and Ted Cruz is probably the only baffoon in the world bigger than Trump, but without the populist wave behind him. |

Can't wait for 4-8 years of a world superpower not progressing towards clean energy and being the cause of over 100 million deaths in the future.

I wonder if Hillary is suprised that she didn't get the Independant vote, given that she blatently fuckin screwed the Independant guy.
The Democrats were HANDED a PERFECT populist candidate. They took that guy, the guy who people were super invigorated about and actually liked, and fucking screwed him Bret Hart style in front of everyone, blatently. Did she really think Bernie people were gonna get behind her. Because it was her year?

AZ did not pass legal marijuana but we got the minimum wage increase so I guess there's a tiny white light of "yay" tonight.

Whats fucking crazy about Utah is that that third party guy should have been syphoning away votes from TRUMP, not Hillary, so the fact that he did so well DESPITE that is just true insanity.
Looking at the map, even if Hillary wins PA, New Hamshire, and Michagan, she still can't win, because she has no hope for AZ and Wissconsin

The fact that this is even possible is fucking insane.
You know what else fucking drives me crazy?
The news people trying to justify this by saying "people stayed home because they assumed Hillary would win."
What a fucking stupid argument. Thats not how it works.
God they are bullshitting.

It's not just our country
Japan's stock market has dropped over 5% in the last few hours.
They literally won't let the Dow Futures drop any further.

Trump alienated his own party and still won. This is BS. Heres the thing though, that was the right play Bernie would have probably done the same thing if he won the nomination. The parties are why we are in this mess. The party fucking screwed our populist candidate. On one side, I want to say America deserve it, but I'm fucking stuck here, so we will suffer with everyone else. There is nowhere to go to hide from this either. |

The conservatives wanted people to believe that Obama was going to crown himself God-Emperor of America.
Trump is way less predictable.
