Support NeoGAF

[CrispyBoar]

Anyway I can get a Canadian Citizenship/Dual-Citizenship, anyone?

 

[Esiquio]

I'm glad he's banned now, but it happened two hours after he posted it (when most bans for racism, including at least one documented case in this thread, are dealt with immediately), and a lot of people had quoted it (so it doesn't seem like it just got "lost in the shuffle" of the thread, because it kept popping up).

Thank you for doing the deed, Lionel, but I find it hard to believe you were the first mod that saw the post. I'm sure almost every mod is invested in this election and following this thread closely, and it seems like as a rule racial hate speech against whites rarely get taken care of unless members first make noise about it.

This has been bothering me for a while on GAF - I'm one thousand percent for banning racists/homophobes/islamaphobes, but allowing racist comments for a majority group and hand-waving it away as no big deal is incredibly disheartening to see.

I hope it changes soon, because I really don't want to leave GAF - but the amount of anti-white sentiment that has gone unchecked here this election cycle has been a gigantic bummer.

Hard to believe that was missed, especially when the poster who sarcastically said "fuck brown people" was banned almost immediately.

 

[Psychoward]

Who's going to lead the dems after this?

Elizabeth Warren gonna rally these mothafuckas to a 2018 midterms win and a 2020 presidential win

[GSG Flash]

It's fucking adorable how everybody is going "Bernie bernie bernie!" now after, you know, he FUCKING GOT LESS VOTES BY A LARGE MARGIN IN THE PRIMARY WHICH IS WHY HE LOST.

But hey you know whatever that's just nothing I guess.

You do realize that Hillary also won the popular vote in the 2008 primaries too, right?

Hillary only appeals to establishment Democrats, because she literally is one of them. Nationally, she's unlikeable and unelectable, that's just the truth.

Bernie, Biden, Michelle, Warren, whoever would all have probably won tonight. Trump handed the election to Hillary on a silver platter and she still lost it.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Cannot believe this. An an outsider in the UK, I was hopeful for Clinton...but this is scary. Been awake since 3:30am and couldn't go back to sleep. I'm scared for the world.

 

[The Auxiliary]

The greatest potential casualty is the Supreme Court.

 

[confuziz]

Welp, this man with the nuclear codes

Was nice knowing you world..

 

[shoryukens]

That Van Jones CNN clip

https://twitter.com/THR/status/796228052288094208

Thank you. I was kinda feeling numb once he took Florida but this woke me up. Fuck how does this even happen?

 

[pelicansurf]

Welp, I welcome our new Russian overlords.

 

[MGrant]

South Korea very worried.

.

Where is this from?

 

[Cynar]

At least your people not get randomly shot by cop everyday.

Hate breeds hate. No need for racism against whites. Break the cycle, don't become part of it.

 

[RealityPales]

Does this outcome cement this year as the worst year of the last 20 years??

Cubs won, so no.

 

[MMarston]

Just got out of work.

Wtf is going on? Election isn't called yet but everyone believes its Trump's?

Look at the numbers man. It's a crapshoot.

 

[Alucrid]

Well, we lost. I'll vote again in 2 years and again in 4. We'll see what the America the majority wanted looks like then.

Is it racist when the overwhelming majority of a race voted for him? Gosh, the next four years is going to be this isn't it? "Don't hurt while people's feelings", those poor straight white men who won't be impacted by this election in the slightest. Us minorities should respect them and be nice to them, we shouldn't condone them for voting for a leader who could undo the years of progress we've been fighting for..

 

[MikeyB]

Okay, so racism is fine. Violence? Your argument doesn't draw lines. It eliminates them and destroys agency.

It is patently wrong.

 

[OraleeWey]

I'm just tunning in, what's going on? Did Trump win or what?

 

[Jobbs]

Serious question people smarter than me:

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois through my husbands work. I don't work currently because of my disability. He got the insurance four months ago.

I've had lupus for three years. Am I going to be dropped if the ACA is repealed and the preexisting condition clause is revoked? Cause if so, I'll have to discontinue all treatment in order to continue to feed and clothe my family. Which means I'll eventually die.

Reassure me, please. I'm still fucked as a Navajo that looks Mexican, but I'll be double fucked with this.

( That's so terrible. I'm sorry

We can only hope that the republicans will feel some political pressure in the face of taking a bunch of shit away from a bunch of people who already have it and it won't be quite as simple as everything being discontinued without anything to replace it or without the really popular parts being preserved.

 

[Syder]

Can a President be impeached before he's inaugurated?

 

[Ashodin]

WI is gone, Trump likely president elect

 

[allan-bh]

Sheriff Joe Arpaio lost, so isn't 100% terrible night for liberals.

 

[spazchicken]

They still overwhelmingly voted against Trump. This is us, white voters, and that's all there is to it.

62% is hardly over half. The Latino vote should have been much bigger with them being directly targeted and insulted by Trump.

 

[necrosis]

Trump is ahead 30k in PA at 97% reporting in.

Obamacare is done
Climate change legislation is done
The senate, house and SCOTUS will all be controlled by modern tea party supporting republicans

This is the most hellish political scenario I could imagine for this country. A rapist is about to reach the highest office in the land. I blame white republican voters, the DNC, Hillary and Debbie.

yeah

like, hellish to where i'm almost fucking longing for the days of GWB

i'm terrified and depressed

 

[Team Alucard]

.

 

[Minamu]

Swedish papers are saying Trump will win with 95% certainty, how would they know this number?!

 

[ghostofsparta]

Build that wall I guess, should be interesting.

I said it before, but honestly build it. I want to see this country crumble as I leave waving "bye bitches"!

 

[aerts1js]

Clinton's not going to regain PA, all of the blue counties pretty much have 100% of the vote in..

 

[Obliterator]

Never listening to these fuckin' pollsters again. Unbelievable.

Indeed major polling should never be trusted at face value again in terms of elections.

 

[SwolBro]

Something just dawned on me... Trump is surely an atheist.

We just got our first atheist President lol the fucking Irony

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

What a time to be alive. President Trump lol

 

[EatinOlives]

Nate Silver has not been.

You're right, except for Nate.

I shouldn't have doubted him.

 

[13ruce]

Because many people think Hillary is a terrible woman.

Trump is great right?/s

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Like it has been said, America deserves trump if they elect him, but the rest of the world doesn't.

You fucked up!

 

[Angry Fork]

Regardless of what happens, we can say that this was unexpected by almost everybody.

Except the crazy Marxists.

 

[Odrion]

i went to a bar

they were celebrating at trump's victory

they paid for all my drinks

they accepted me in their comradery

i felt gross and guilty

this is a realty i do not want to be a part of

 

[tearsintherain]

What happened to us Gaf? how is it possible that Trump is about to be our president.

GAF is in a huge bubble, anyone who disagrees with the very liberal progressive agenda learns quickly to not post in political threads if they want to keep their account. So it creates a huge bubble where everyone thinks the rest of the country thinks the same way.

 

[The_Dama]

What are the chances of pre existing conditions coming back? Fuck I'm screwed

 

[Kaji AF16]

What a rollercoaster ride... dawn of an era.

Sociological explanations aside, I think this will be one of the major historical milestones of our time.

We had our warnings. A comparable situation happened in my country, Argentina, last year. That, and Brexit, and the peace in Colombia...

 

[mozfan12]

I'm in tears. How can I feel safe as POC? What about my niece? What about my family? It's not a fucking game. I'm crying my eyes out.

Wow, just, wow.

 

[Touchdown]

He can't, repealing would require congressional approval which he won't get in that instance.

he just might with a republican house and senate

 

[Armadilo]

We should of known something was up when the fireworks were stopped

 

[Jarrod38]

There needs to be a better way to elect a President.

 

[Killer Queen]

well my fellow Canadians its time for us to band together and build a wall

I'm with it.
All jokes aside this is pretty depressing. Wouldve loved to see President Clinton but it is what it is. But Canadian dollar will be going up so my life here should be cozy.

I think it varied state by state, but I was able to get on my wife's employer-provided insurance with a preexisting condition/disability. That's why we got married in fact, and that was a thing that happened fairly often before the ACA was passed.

You might want to look into what the law said in your state before the ACA was passed. But even if it is repealed we don't know how it would actually play out. Hang in there.

 

[Gaylord Sweetwood]

Looking forward to those Congressional term limits!

 

[Frozenprince]

Hate breeds hate. No need for racism against whites. Break the cycle, don't become part of it.

 

[WillyFive]

Impossible for Hillary to win at this point isn't it.

If it wasn't for the fact that a whole bunch of states having only thousands of votes between each candidate, they would have called it hours ago.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

Wonder what are the chances of Trump actually building that wall are. I feel like if it actually happens, I'm gonna laugh uncontrollably just to keep from crying.

Prediction: He'll start it, and North Korea style, it'll sit unfinished for decades, a monument to his hideousness

 

[BahamutPT]

Actually, looking at the detailed PA picture on the NYT map, it seems most of those 2% missing votes are from D counties. I guess they can easily find some 50k difference there.
