What a fucking disaster

  • Maybe the DNC could have choose a better candidate? Someone who was not anointed to be the next POTUS. Someone who came with a ton of baggage. She even admitted in her speech today that the country was more divided then she thought. Perhaps if she had people who would tell her the truth instead of Yes Ma'ams this would have been different too.

HOPE and CHANGE, HOPE and CHANGE. I sure like the sound of that NOW.

    I'd love to talk to the hamster that is running on the wheel inside your head.
    A promise is a promise.
    I didn't see any people packing like they said they would when Obama was elected. Twice.
    Maybe not, but it was nowhere near as vocal. I guess of the few positives I see as a result of this election...

    1. SJW tears.
    2. No more Hillary Clinton...ever.
    3. Possibly an audit of the Federal Reserve.
    4. Repeal of bad laws.
    Let's hope for the best, but I'll keep my expectations extremely low.
    Maybe we're entering a part of our nation's history that historians will refer to as the "low expectations phase".

    Socially I think it could degrade, but Russia just reached out and wants to be friends again.

    That is yuge, YUGE!

    No, seriously, that makes me very happy.

    Well, this is what symbolically voting for hopeless 3rd parties when there is an obvious candidate to stop gets you America. Enjoy the biggest mistake you ever collectively made. I am revolted by your choice along with the rest of the world. How shameful. I am also very sad for those who knew better but are stuck in this mess anyhow.

    I voted 3rd party. My vote was inconsequential, as predicted. My state was/is solidly blue, and neither my vote nor my state contributed to this.

    The real problem is that both the DNC and RNC tried hard to subvert their own populist candidates. The DNC was more organized and successfully colluded with the Clinton campaign to make sure she got the nomination. The RNC was completely disorganized, and no matter how much they tried, they couldn't get someone other than Trump nominated. So in the end you had a populist candidate running against an establishment candidate, and the populist won. Had the DNC not worked so tirelessly against their party's populist choice, perhaps the results would have been different. The partisans, and the parties were the problem in this race. The two party system doesn't represent us, and doesn't work. I'm completely shocked, angered and disheartened by the result of this election, but it isn't the 3rd party voters who fucked us.

    We have just become the biggest joke on earth. Those of us who aren't laughing will dust ourselves off and work harder than ever to make things better again.

    And yes, I voted third party but in a state where doing so had no affect on the outcome. As I said elsewhere, no way would I do that in another state. But elsewhere enough people did. Electing Trump was a temper tantrum that will bite his supporters in the ass so hard they won't know what hit them... at first. And then that orange man will become their fucking nightmare. Meanwhile, hopefully, the rest of us will be busy picking up the pieces.
    The third party vote had no impact. It was the people who did not vote at all who were the problem. "My vote just doesn't count" they say. "They're both awful" they say. "She's not the first woman I want" they say. Fuck all those people.

    I am so pissed. My swing state delivered. We worked our asses off and did what we were supposed to do by a hair. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida . . . They're dumb ass failures. No wonder those states are so damned backwards in every way. We have a president who won an election by appealing to the dumbest among them, and I hope those states tank first before all the test of us -- except they're already shitty places to live so I guess those voters figured they have nothing to lose.
    From what I heard, the number of ballots cast for Gary Johnson in PA would have won Clinton the state if they had gone to her instead.... not sure about the other swing states. I am actually still too disgusted to read any of the post-election coverage. Everyone in my office feels the same way. Many are saying that they aren't going to travel to the US anymore and won't buy anything from the US either. They are simply too disgusted by the stupidity and irresponsibility to want anything to do with the US now, and by Trump himself and the Republican party in general that is now running the whole show, that they have decided to boycott. Not kidding, six different people have said that to me today, and it's only noon.

    It confirms the profound under-reaction much of America is having to Trump, which is one of the things that is confounding and worrying people everywhere else.

    Let's get one thing straight: this is NOT the fault of third party voters. Not in any way, shape, or form. That finger pointing blame game needs to stop. It will only create more division, which is exactly the opposite of what we need. While I understand people are upset, angry, disgusted at Donald Trump being elected, the blame for that can only be pointed at one group of people - those who voted for Trump. No one who voted for a third party candidate wanted to see Trump elected, either. Unity, positivity, and creativity are the only things that can triumph over what transpired last night. Pointing fingers at others does not help, it only fuels the Trump fire.
    I see both sides. There were several other options I would have preferred. And if I was voting just on who I wanted to win that would have changed my vote. But many people vote based on who is likely to win and knowing a third party does not have a realistic chance.
    But with half the country voting Trump, that speaks as much to how much the people don't trust her. People fear her being president more than they fear Trump.
    Don't blame Trump, or those who voted for him. Blame the corruption within the parties, and the vote was to stop the corruption.

    its like any other wednesday at my work. the above post confirms the ridiculous level of paranoia to the north.

    How long did it take America to accept that black people were more than property (and then that they weren't all thieves and murderers)? That Mexicans weren't all illegal aliens and members of drug cartels? That Muslims weren't all terrorists? That women could do more than cook or clean? Donald Trump's rhetoric could be (by design) construed as accepting these old-world notions, and racists, sexists and xenophobes happily hide behind that ambiguity. This is a tremendous social regression.
