Trump can’t possibly win. This can’t possibly be like Brexit. Refusing to vote or voting for a third party won’t make any difference!

I feel so naive because if I’m being completely honest with myself I never actually thought he could win. Also, I’ve been fortunate enough to grow up in a progressive bubble so now, speaking as someone who is a female and brown, seeing these numbers is like a giant slap in the face. This is how the majority of my…

It’s like, “Whelp, there goes the progress we made since 2008.”

I’m not gonna lie, I never actually mentally prepared for Trump to win. I am having trouble adjusting.

I teach in a classroom that is mostly comprised of English language learners. Many from Mexico, several from Syria and Afghanistan, a couple from the Congo. What do I tell them tomorrow? “Sorry, but a bunch of scared white assholes decided that you don’t deserve to go to school without being called names, and maybe…

I feel like I’m in an alternate universe. What the fuck is even happening? Is this real?

WTF is this shit? We’re looking down the barrel of a Trump presidency. FOUR YEARS OF TRUMP.

As I’m comforting my Muslim spouse as she sobs about what this means for her, I don’t have time for nausea. I just want her to be okay. I want to live in a place where an interfaith lesbian couple with disabilities aren’t seen as the enemy. I’m tired of our lives hanging in the balance every goddamn election because…

I am literally sick to my stomach. No matter,NO MATTER your views on Clinton, there is NO REASON! that a piece of fucking garbage like Trump should be president. He is concerned with one thing, making Donald Trump better.He dosen’t give a fuck about his little cult, and he dosen’t give a fuck about this country. I…

Even if Clinton wins the answer is a resounding yes.

I am speechless with rage at all the idiots who thought it wasn’t worth going to the polls this election. I want to cry.

Can’t sleep, clowns will grab my pussy.

I didn’t think it would be this close. Not in a million years. I’ve basically lost all faith in humanity. Is this country really this racist, homophobic, misogynistic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, decency-phobic?

Thank you! In the other post, I ranted about why I’ve had enough of the entitled white male schtick. Just shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. This is not your election. This is mine.

they’re openly shitting on Deadspin, and it’s great

OK there is no way you guys aren’t shading the bro-chads over at Deadspin. And I agree with the shade. Few things more obnoxious than aloof white boys whose aloofness is courtesy of them having no skin in a game that could end with a white supremacist in the oval office.

Yeah, I’m all about policy wonks at this point. I’m still irritated at Bernie Sanders for his own cult of personality, to the point where I don’t know if I want him running for Senate again. I’m from Vermont, have been voting for him for decades, and have every reason to believe he’s a policy wonk in addition to being…

People can be so infantile when it comes to how they view their leaders. Why do we feel the need to want a president who we can hang out with?

Could not agree more. I am so over the “I need to be inspired!” moaning. I mean, it’s nice, I suppose, to be drawn in by a candidate’s warm, dream-filled glow, but as you said, it can also be really fucking dangerous.

Agree!
