A network said Hillary has won 3 out of 4 EVs in Maine. Does that mean the fourth goes to Trump, or is that just not yet determined?
Apparently all polling methodology needs to be reinvented.
Do you think the [del]coronation[/del] inauguration will have showgirls and gold-plated everything?
Well, if you don’t care about definitions (which apparently* americans don’t) then I’d agree with you. Are you aware of what the definitions behind democracy and universal suffrage mean, and/or that Direct-Democracy is not the only form of democracy?
Edit: * based on how this election is going
There is absolutely no way I’m going to consider Trump the leader of the free world. This truly will be a new era for the world if Trump wins, and I’m seeing a new Dark Age. Maybe it is best to be back inside the borders if that’s the case.
This is what terrifies me. People talk about leaving the USA, but… to where? This shit is everywhere now.
Nuclear war with whom? Russians give him money and China makes all his cheap shit. There will be no nuclear war. He’ll want to nuke ISIS, but he has no idea where they are and his handlers won’t let him.
Yeah. Exactly. I think some people on this very board warned to be careful what you wish for.
I don’t think we will know anything for a few days. Or weeks.
There may be some hanging chads in Florida.
Yep, and he’ll refuse to pay for it afterwards.
Well, I think the Democrats are going to spend a lot of time over the next 4 years thinking about the Constitution, Separation of Powers, States’ Rights, and the limitations on the power of the Executive Branch…
It’s not that close. I think Hillary will concede tonight. She was crushed.
I hope you’re right.
I was never worried that Bush was going to nuke somebody. I never feared the McCain was going to nuke somebody. I never feared that Romney (had he won) was going to nuke somebody. I fear that there is some small chance that Trump will, at a minimum, give an order to nuke somebody.
That’s really scary.
The truly horrifying thing is that even if Clinton by some miracle wins, Trump has been vindicated. It’s the end of rationality, an anti-renaissance. We now live in a world where facts and science don’t matter, rhetoric and anecdote are what the world is going to be guided by.
That is more terrifying than Trump and far more dangerous.
Indeed, I know I was telling people they’d have only themselves to blame. The problem is that even when you get your preferred opponent you still have to go vote!
Well OK already… she lost the national election. But is Clinton really going to lose MI, WI, and PA too??? Holy shit.
Yup. Stupidity, selfishness, and irrational fear of The Other have won the day. Welcome to the twilight of America.
Well put.
That’s my hope, but then I thought that common sense would win out in this election and that obviously didn’t happen. It’s hard to rule out anything at this point.
It’s cool. We just have to take the temperature of the room, and play to it. Here’s the next Democratic party candidate.
Some swearing:
To the contrary, the election of Donald Trump demonstrates that we are indeed ruled by the masses, not by their “enlightened” representatives.
Everybody likes to quote Winston Churchill’s witticism about “worst form of government.” It’s now turned into a very sick joke.
