This isn't some game or both sides or "next election" bullshit, this is real and will have severe consequences for the human race in the face of climate change, white supremacy, inequality, bigotry, and all the other shit that need to be addressed immediately in the 21st century.

How the fuck are you going to meet the challenge of climate change with such a fascist government?

As if Clinton would've done so much more against climate change. Nobody's gonna do shit against that until the first natural catastrophies hit the western world. It's the way of mankind unfortunatly.

YOU NEED TO CONCEDE. NOT FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR THE FREAKING COUNTRY. TRUMP ISN'T JUST GOING TO SLINK HOME.

We need someone sane speaking.

I really feel like Sanders would have won this easily.

With Hiliary, for most people, it was a "two of the lesser evils" choice. With Bernie, it would have been a clear "good vs evil" choice.

A shame what the super delegates and the DNC did to Bernie.
 
In Germany we have elections next year, and all across Europe far-right has been growing and right now leaders such as Le Pen congratulating and enthusiastic about Trump's victory, far-right growth has knock-on effects across the world in their own ambitions.

A person with no political experience and platform based on populism has won the U.S presidency.

In terms of effect it'll have on the world that is of credible consequence is the integrity of NATO and countries such as Ukraine with Trump's views on Russia's aggression in Eastern Europe such as recognising "Crimea is part of Russia".

I can see in terms of foreign visits etc that Trump will be the Yeltsin of the U.S that other leaders would want to avoid.

So that's it? No possible way for Hillary? I'very just woken up to this news and I feel just like I did on the 24th of June, God knows how US minorities feel. Much love to you guys.

I get that Hillary was heartily disliked and seemingly dropped a bollock in regard to assuming certain states were locked in but how the living hell could people voted for someone with no real policies beyond the trickle down rubbish that failed so many times before?

Iran deal. Gone.
Climate deal. Gone.
ACA. Gone.
SC. Gone.

This & brexit show a worrying trend in western/Anglo nations towards toxic populism. I look at my 12 week old son and wonder what kind of world he'll grow up in...
 
In recent elections has a presumptive losing candidate had the campaign rally closed and not give a concession speech on the night of the election?
