What has always baffled me is this Electoral College thingy. Why is it a thing in the first place? So about a 500-600 people decide the president?
I know this sounds really damn stupid and it is, but I kind of blame Jon Stewart for having a small hand in all this. Talk about retiring at the worst time.
Republicans and even Donald Trump are still human beings. No one is irredeemable. The folks in suits on the Senate and House floors aren't the same as the lost souls on 8chan. Write your representatives. Call the hotlines. Protest. Let your voice be heard. We can't give up fighting for a more moral and ethical society just because people are ignorant about politics.I'm truly horrified. My sister, who has epilepsy, is freaking out because if Obamacare gets repealed she won't be able to afford the battery change in her brain implant. That brain implant is basically her only hope at having a life, because without it she has to be on so many pills it basically makes her a zombie/super depressed. I don't know what to say to her. I'm terrified for her.
The orange popsicle is doing well in the popular vote as well. So there is that.
Has the first "Downfall" edit surfaced on YouTube yet? You know it's over when that shows up.
I'm not convinced that Bernie would've won either.
Suspect Trump will talk about their success but not outright claim victory; play that hes giving them a bit of time to prepare a concession speech. Or something along those lines.

Democracy absolutely fails when it's used to elect a bigoted jackass that has no idea how to run a country and that will fuck up the country badly for decades. Terrible presidents are absolutely a failing of democracy.How is democracy failing? This result is literally democracy, the people voted for this guy. The only undemocratic thing here is not accepting the results as valid. Democracy doesn't mean "it's only ok when my candidate wins!!" no matter how despisable the other might be.
It's a classic election, we always get to choose between dumb and dumber, this time it was swindler vs warmonger.
In the end big companies win and everyone else's life essentially stays the same.
Wat?Thank god, Trump won.
Love wins, only loser is the left hate and bigotry.
The world is safer.
I waited well past my bedtime for history. I didnt even get a speech....what the fuck just happened....
...this is what was expected of trump wasnt it?
I still cannot believe they just told everyone to go home.
Has this ever happened before?

My condolences on people with stocks today. Ouch

Obama said the EXACT same thing.Moron. Never liked him.
Remember when the Hillary supporters were talking about her being the realistic candidate? I will always remember their arrogance.
Where are those "election pros" saying Hilldawg will win by blowout once west coast votes start rolling in 😞
Is Trump going to win the popular vote, too?
None.
They all have millions stashed in the bank living in their comfortable homes in Los Angeles.
1:23 AM here can't sleep
Also Bernie, as far as I know, just doesn't have the baggage she does. I wasn't a Bernie supporter but I can't imagine with all of the stuff that Trump has said and all of the stuff that has come out on him that the results would be the same.

Blaming this on "the media" is way easier than standing up to the fact that the US is a fundamentally racist country that now elected a fundamentally racist candidate, isn't it?
Man.
Democracy isn't failing. People are.
You people realize that President Obama literally said "The sun will rise tomorrow" in a video he released today?
Right?
I get if you don't agree with him but I keep seeing these responses and can't help but laugh.

Trump is gonna be on money one day. The Celebrity Apprentice guy.

I'm truly horrified. My sister, who has epilepsy, is freaking out because if Obamacare gets repealed she won't be able to afford the battery change in her brain implant. That brain implant is currently her only hope at having a life, because without it she has to be on so many pills it basically makes her a zombie. Not to mention the mental health side effects, which include depression and extreme mood swings. She can't work and can't drive without that brain implant, and without Obamacare she can't pay for the operation to replace the battery every ~2 years. I don't know what to say to her. I'm terrified for her.

Well, they're married to them. Man of the house, and all that.
