It seems to me like we're in a spot where clearly something went way wrong and the US cornered itself into electing one of two candidates that is hated by a large proportion of the electorate. At this point I have to assume that if his presidency is as obscene as his campaign, the Democrats just have to find some random schmuck with a minimum of credibility and they'll take it in 2020.
Surely we can't get 8 years of this fucking mistake.
Trump might not go for re-election, and if life is good, they could win with someone like Paul Ryan.

My thoughts exactly.
Exactly fucking this. I remember early on during the primaries how god damn stuck up the Hillary4President crowd were, talking shit and saying how they didn't want "BernieBros" to vote for their candidate.
There you fucking had it DNC. Stealing the primary ~ rigging it against Bernie, having superdelegates commit before any debating happened, having NewYorks need to register 6 months before debates started to vote in the primary..
Donna Brazil colluding with clinton. Their camp should have told Donna to get fucked and said "We are too proud to try and steal this."
Taking Wasserman Schultz onto the clinton camp. FUCK YOU.
God i'm so angry right now I'm not even speaking straight. Smug clinton assholes have fucked the people for months and now they are about to reap the damn consequences, and we are all going to suffer because of it.
Exactly. All I hear is if you don't vote for Clinton and allow trump to win, you're to blame for a trump presidency. How bout not? How bout fuck yourself? Hillary supporters and the DNC did nothing but make every effort possible yo exclude bernie voters because "she doesn't even need you." Yeah? How's your smug pride of "it's her turn" look now? You all fucking deserve trump, but those that actually didn't put the blinders on and actually tried to make objective change happen in this country do not. Fuck you Hillary supporters. Fuck the DNC.

Turnout overall looks pretty low. Possibly lower than 2012.

Im looking forward to Plansix and BiffTheUnderstudy speech as much as I'm looking forward to Trump speech.

Well, as it turns out, white people can't be marginalized politically in America quite yet.
I don't see what the big deal is, Trump's not gonna get re-elected. Neither would Hillary. And the United States of America is too large and strong and rich a country and a people to get completely wrekt by either of them. Most people are super dramatic about these kind of things. For the majority of the population, their day to day lives will not change at all. And yeah, this election sets up anyone to easily take the 2020 election. You know, I wonder how many times throughout history have said, "This won't really change anything", only to have their country/empire/whatever collapse as a consequence of who comes into power. I'm sure we can think of at least one example where this happened after a certain person/party gained power. It seems astoundingly ignorant for people to think "Oh, NBD, Trump won't get away with shit" when history have proven time and time and time and time and time and time and time again that this is incredibly short-sighted. The only upside for me is that, since I'm white, male, and in the military, my way of life is pretty fucking safe with Republicans in charge unless Trump stays Trump and gets us into a stupid war and I get killed. Assuming I don't, I'm young enough to be around in 4 years and get some sweet "I told you so's" in when America tries to lift itself off of it's ass after its economy tanks again and we become an international laughingstock. Yeah. Tell me, how many democratic countries were that, and of those, how many were still a democracy after it. None? Well shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weimar_RepublicToo easy.
Cute. Except, wrong. Because clearly, after Hitler was "elected", we're not talking a Democracy anymore, do we now. Sidenote: please don't try to lecture me in german history.
PS: you should feel safe as a soldier under republican lead. It's not like they ever, ever started wars.
That doesn't make it less stupid of a statement.
edit: 6am, quoting too hard

You mean like get rid of the Voting Rights Act, implement voter ID laws, gerrymander the districts, deny territories a say in their government, and restrict voting hours/early voting?
It's a little late for that concern.

My point if it's that's the shit they come up with during a democrat presidency it seems like it could get a whole lot worse under a government that doesn't bother with checks and balances and just does whatever the fuck it wants to promote its own interests.

Plansix needs to see this.

Hillary was the only candidate Trump actually had a chance against, imo. So far, about everything's going as expected.

I think those exits are unlikely to hold up. You just have to look at the racial makeup of the places where Trump out-performed the most to see that. Here, Nate Silver said it better than I did:
"The national exit poll shows Trump making bigger gains among black and Hispanic voters than among whites. But I’d urge at least a little caution. I know that exit polls aren’t supposed to be used for projecting results, but they did an awfully bad job tonight, initially showing what had looked like a near-landslide margin for Clinton. Furthermore, as compared with pre-election polls, Trump clearly overperformed the most in whiter states. So on second thought, maybe that’s a lot of caution and not just a little."

So, what's the hold up? It's been at least an hour and Michigan isn't confirmed yet? Nothing on the other states too?
PA would be the state that makes the call here. Michigan is possible for Clinton, NH is within 0.1% but once PA is called (even if she wins PA it's still just the 269 scenario and she loses that) it's over.
So just wait for the last 2% from PA.
