Given the results in PA, Michigan and Wisconsin I don't even think the emails were relevant at all. There is some deep, substantial resentment going on in the white American working class.

People laughed at me but i seriously think that #spiritcooking thing changed a few minds, especially among more religious minorities.

If Bernie won, there would be no FBI investigation, no "my enemy belongs in prison," no DNC rigging, and probably no leaks. He would have been hammered for socialism and for being a hippie who supported dictators, but in contrast to Hillary fewer people would have such a strong visceral reaction to voting against him. I am quite sure he would have won.


My argument to the contrary. I think it would have been enough.

For me, this was always going to be a Trump victory; he invoked the greatest fear, the greatest money and the greatest publicity, i.e. the three realms that are key to the heart of Americality...
Some of my American friends even decided to vote for Trump just to bring the idiocy in America (capital above people, possessions against rights, freedom against social responsibility) to a head, a great white pustulous head that is going to explode during his incumbency. After Trump is impeached America will be great again - but a post Hilary America would just be the same bloody stool it is today.

Of course Bernie would have fared better. Hillary has way too much political baggage. On top of that, Bernie had momentum.

I'll say it again. The reality is that people's lives will change very little if at all. It's been great entertainment and should continue to be but it's not the end of the world. Not even close.


You can say it all you want, but it's an ignorant and privileged position to just off-handedly say this so easily. Electing such a bigoted, hateful individual to the presidential office isn't something normal. This isn't just another hand-off of the reigns of power from D->R or vis versa.


Well...we did elect Nixon. Just saying.

Trump ahead at the 1% level right now makes it likely the west coast Democratic strongholds put Clinton above in the popular vote.

So for the second time in two decades, the democrats lose the white house while winning a majority of the country's votes. Very likely.

The Nixon comparison will only be fair if Trump turns out to be very flexible and pragmatic in office and does actually not follow up on his ideological promises. Which is doubtful.

So, will Trump give a speech tonight or is it likely in at least several hours before he does it (5 hours or so)?

Yea, that's the scary part.

Nearly 50 years ago.

Do we want to take a walk back in time and discuss the state of human rights back then?
