Don't know if it'll hold up over the next couple of weeks, but Hillary currently has a narrow lead in the popular vote.

Doesn't really change anything though ?
She also could have won with a mere 100k or so more votes in MI, WI and PA. I guess studies will tell soon enough, but a lot of those Trump votes up there probably came from people with solid records as blue voters in the past...

EDIT : Or maybe with higher turnouts elsewhere too :yeshrug still the fact remains that the "most advanced data driven campaign in history" either failed to secure their base or couldn't identify massive weaknesses.

anecdotal, but I knew a few registered Dems here in FL who voted for Trump

Maybe a wall isn't such a bad idea. We need the stimulus spending, construction jobs, etc.

Oh god.

 :lol :lol

But seriously, Trump is screwed if he doesn't "bring jobs back." He better goddamn hope Tech companies will listen to him strong-arming them into doing manufacturing the iPhone/whatevers here.

last night could not have gone more terribly. my girlfriend and i traded being the strong one and comforting each other. my girlfriend has a lot of friends who are going to be directly negatively affected by this and the realization that this is the world we live in for the next 4 years was honestly too much to handle. i don't know what to do, myself. it's a living nightmare, tbh.

Is Trump going to build an actual wall?

Or is he going to say that the wall is a metaphor for tightening immigration legislation?

Since lyte edge locked and, after a while, deleted my thread because he got triggered by it let me summarize this for you, SJWs only have themselves to blame.

Holier than thou morons like the neogaf hugbox brigade that turned many normal people into Trumptards with their hateful rhetoric, authoritarianism, divisive language and identity politics obsession are responsible for this mess. I watched live as reddit turned from an overwhelmingly liberal site to a Trump haven thanks to the site's mods and admins who heavily antagonized the userbase with their obnoxious hipster attitude that translated to censorship and manipulation of the site to shove down our throats their ideology. And reddit isn't some random site, it's the 8th most popular site in the country, it's a community that actually influences opinion in the country.

Corporate media also followed the SJW narrative for purely self serving reasons since a divided and distracted middle class is perfect for their rich bosses. The same of course applies for Hollywood and the rich pretentious fucks that live there. These two groups though only emboldened Trump because people were sick and tired of their hypocritical shit.

Being accused of having privilege when you're dirt poor must be fucking enraging, honestly I kind of understand the reaction of these people, even though I can't forgive it.

It's kind of dumb to make sweeping generalizations in an election that was won in the margins. Basically there were just enough people that didn't want to vote for Clinton because she represented everything they hated about D.C.

Either they stayed home or they voted for Trump/third party.

She lost in the same places in America where Obama beat her and Bernie beat her.

be an ambitious person who works their entire life building their career
have all of it thrown away by some rich white guy who decided to do it as a hobby.

that's not to say she deserved to win because she's a woman. but the message that simply being a women means you already are starting from behind has been strongly enforced.

Hasn't happened in America. And frankly, the person who beat her is a chronic sexual bully who spouted some European far-right populism. Right now Hillary is ahead by a little bit in popular vote but between the combination of a fucked up electoral college system and a culture of excusing sexual misconduct, American women didn't get shit in progress.

Hillary being a woman is the least of her issues. Yes there are a few out there that wouldn't vote for a woman, but those people are vastly outnumbered by the number of things that Clinton had as baggage.

Turnout for the presidential election in Wisconsin appears to be a 20-year low.

Turnout in Tuesday’s election was about 66 percent of the voting age population, based on unofficial results. Nearly all precincts were reporting Wednesday morning.

More than 2.9 million people voted in Wisconsin’s Senate race, about 3,000 more than did in the presidential. The Wisconsin Elections Commission predicted about 3.1 million would cast ballots, which would have been roughly a 69 percent turnout.

If that number holds, it will be the lowest since 1996 when turnout was 58 percent. The past two presidential elections turnout was at or near 70 percent.

-A dumb farm bill designed to help factory farms and hurt animal rights activists got shot down.
-A bill removing a law that kept the state from spending money on religions got shot down.
-Two laws dealing with bumping down certain drug offenses from felony to misdemeanor passed.
-Booze bill passed.

The referendum level seems to be good all over. NJ tied gas tax to transport funding. Florida rejected the bad solar bill.

People came out and voted left.

But they had no leftist candidate to vote for.

Maybe a wall isn't such a bad idea. We need the stimulus spending, construction jobs, etc.

Oh god.

 :lol :lol

But seriously, Trump is screwed if he doesn't "bring jobs back." He better goddamn hope Tech companies will listen to him strong-arming them into doing manufacturing the iPhone/whatevers here.

Cue them laughing and saying they will tell him to fuck off since they can relocate their global HQ's to Ireland/Netherlands/Wherever else in the EU they are currently based and getting tax breaks while continue to use Chinese and Mexican manufacturing facilities.   

He's fucked on that promise before he's even started. Who's going to invest in a country who elected someone with no economic plan? Every multinational will just put more jobs in the EU market instead.

Germany won, brehs.

who to blame? the fucking people who voted for trump. there's no one else to blame.
You should stop thinking about blame, find out why people voted for an obvious buffoon and in the next cycle try and come together with them and find a candidate that will both satiate their needs (where sane) and at the same time ride in on a progressive platform free of big money. Blame is just repeating the dumb cycle I feel

2016 really is the Hollywood remake of 2000 that no one wanted: A dull Democrat with Clinton baggage losing to a total buffoon, despite winning the popular vote.

But Bore told me there is no baggage
