this exactly. I knew they were out there. it is the people who didn’t show up for Hillary when Obama begged them to. they just didn’t seem to care.

I wish America success. I won’t be stupid enough to assume that Trump’s success and America’s success are even close to being the same. Lord knows America needs it at this point.

Either he will buckle under the weight of his incompetence and look to them to dictate policy, or his massive ego will force him to stick to his guns and muddle through.

I have an 84 year old Jewish Grandmother who lived through WW2, went and got her Master’s degree, worked on both of Adlai Stevenson’s campaigns and managed to raise three pretty solid kids including my awesome Dad.

Yes. This is the bargaining stage. You called it. Trump’s gotta’ Trump. There will be no pivot. Hasn’t been. Won’t be.

I have no doubt Trump was bullshitting the base. The problem is Pence, Ryan and the rest of the Republican elite. The nightmare isn’t Trump, it’s that they now have free reign.

I have heard quite a few people express the hope today that trump will become less abhorrent after the inauguration and he was just putting on an act to get elected. Is this bargaining stage of the five stages of grief?

Yup. Their feelings were hurt that no candidate was specifically speaking to them as white people. One candidate joined them in othering himself from the rest of America and they responded to it. I grew up in the rust belt. Those ppl care about unions and financial security. And only as long as that was being…

The gap between Trump and Clinton in Wisconsin is just under 27,000 votes. Nearly 31,000 people in Wisconsin voted for Jill Stein.

While I find stein and the other one stupid as fuck and while I am sure that republican “voter suppression” had a marginal effect on the outcome the only conclusion that I can draw from what Happened is exactly what you have written. Americans voted for him if their own volition. I dont even believe that the Comey…

Something like over 800 polling locations were closed. And that number might just have been for the south.

We need the Voting Rights Act now more than ever.

It’s because we don’t have popular vote. The Electoral College is a form of voter suppression.

Bernie Sanders owes the world an apology today. Not for running, which is anyone’s right, but for not stopping the irrational hate and conspiracy theories earlier on and for insisting on fighting to the convention even after it was clear he had lost. I hope he will never forgive himself for what he has done.

Hillary would have lost even if all 3rd party voters had voted for her. Majority of white voters voting Trump and the gutting of the of the Voting Rights Act, that probably took away votes that she could have used to swing a couple states, is the reason.

Well, well, well, here I go again: since I posted at the Gary Johnson one, it’s only fair to post it here too...

Jill Stein is nothing more than a vanity candidate. She has no relevant experience, and her policy positions are dangerously incoherent and irrational. Anyone who voted for her should be ashamed of themselves.

To be fair, pretty sure voter suppression was at play.

AND FUCK YOU to all of the Bernie supporters who started the cycle of Hillary hate, revved it up, warmed up that engine and then passed it right on to Trump.Fuck you for that. This means you “The Slot.” Your dumb ass is guilty as charged.
