How is democracy failing? This result is literally democracy, the people voted for this guy.
Shit man I'm sorry to hear that. My sister has epilepsy so I can understand what you're saying about the meds. I hope everything works out though. Fingers crossed it doesn't turn out as bleak as it seems.I have no idea, since it was covered by insurance. She's had 3 brain operations since Obamacare enabled her to get health insurance (by getting rid of preexisting conditions), which undoubtedly saved my family hundreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps even over a million.
Don't do this...!
Same was said for Brexit.
Same was said for US presidency.
Noooooooooooo
I've had no sleep. British middle class white guy here, wondering what kind of awful world his son is growing up in.
2016 has basically drained every shred of faith I had in mankind.
People are way too emotional and dramatic right now. The world isnt going to end because your candidate of
choice didnt want. There are 3 branches in government, it's not a dictatorship.
Is it fair to expect Hillary to concede right now? Is it essentially 100% over?
Yup. The thread title is ridiculous. Hate trumps love? Don't be fooled. Theres plenty of hate on both sides.
She will be too old to realistically run after this. She's done.

Is this the biggest GAF thread ever?
I've never seen a 500 page thread here before.
Lets see if we can make it to a 1000.
I disagree about the US being fundamentally a racist country. Sure there are pockets of the country that are, but the same holds true for any country.
Now, the media got this all wrong, completely off base. Most publications had Hillary winning by a landslide. If the data being presented to the public were more akin to 538 then maybe people would be more galvanized to vote. I, like many other folks, thought this election was in the bag. Boy were we wrong.
"Technically speaking, Hitler was too," would be have been a more effective response.No, they are not.

I'm going to be sick
What does this represent?Yes.
RIP, boys.
Don't be a cynical fuck. Come back and vote again in the mid-terms. Fuck the cult of personality bullshit that drives the presidential elections, and take some power back when it matters.
Those conservatives you look down on so much did exactly that to Obama. Let's do the same.
