He also sounded like a completely, COMPLETELY different guy in his acceptance speech. No bombast, no self-promotion, no blustering swagger, nothing. It sounded like a generic boilerplate speech that could have been written for anyone.

How often do the emotions of unbridled, wonderous, childlike joy and soul-crushing disappointment fit into one gif?

Look out man. You’re pissing on Samer’s parade (literally) and he’s in a catty mood. With this many stars, you may get dismissed, too.

Sweet burn, brah.

I wonder how many of them voted Johnson, Stein or wrote Bernie in. Hmmm.

It’s over, though. Like, not over the way 2000 was “over.” It’s really over. He won.

You know you don’t have to discuss politics there, right?

And while we’re disposing of fictional narratives, can we do away with “Johnson/Stein siphoned votes off Trump, not Hillary?”

If Bernie ran against Trump, the race would have been different.

“The entire idea that he could is inherently untestable.”

Also, “socialist” would have cost him damn near every single voter over the age of 60.

Why not just abstain? I’m genuinely curious.
