There’s been a lot of talk about Clinton trailing in Michigan and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania may be a far bigger problem. Clinton is up by just 4 percentage points, and that lead is slipping as more of the vote comes in from outside the Philadelphia media market. Clinton cannot lose Pennsylvania and win the election.

About what? I'm excited to tell my 10 month old in the morning that we elected the first woman president. Glad that by the time she's old enough to understand that, it won't seem remarkable at all.

I hope you're right. Because right now, you are just going to be hugging her and trying to tell her its going to be all right.

Speaking as a white leftist, the problem with white leftists, is that they live with other white leftists. I voted for Hilary but that doesn't do poo poo for Texas.

Nobody let poo poo happen. Nobody was lax. The point is that white people responded to the message of bigotry and hatred and there are too many of them to beat.

They aren't going to "die out". It's plenty of 18 year old racists still running around excited to vote to oppress everyone not white males.

Yeah, it's an interesting book and I'd say anyone shocked by this election or struggling to understand what/how it happened give it a read. It also won't cheer you up because if he is right then regardless of who wins things don't look good for America in the long term because it is so utterly polarized down party lines.

I don't think any "smart books" are cheerful lately. Oh well.

Well, this sure is stressful.

I burned through Denial and Anger in record time, skipped Bargaining and Depression, and am now at Acceptance. Trump is not going to end the world - he will be a GOP puppet, and if we survived Bush we'll survive Trump. And maybe the fact that he owes his presidency to Putin will stop us from heading towards a full blown Cold War/WW3 situation.

The Supreme Court is hosed for the foreseeable future though. RIP right to choose.

God damn it, you've got to be kind.
I'm so glad I voted for Clinton. I want to be able to look back on this and say "Goddammit I tried to keep that shitstain out of the White House." With all the amendments and propositions that are on California ballots I've been suffering from voter fatigue.

Not anymore! I'll make drat sure to use my vote every chance I get to help redirect my country away from this idiotic extreme.

If you click on PA, you can see that the remaining votes are, by NYT predictions, likely to bring in a lot more Trump votes.

You are exactly unskewing poo poo. She's lost. It is over. Our 45th president is Donald Trump. We're the smug-rear end motherfuckers who were so confident in our victory that we let it slip away. We've ruined any chance this country has for progress or recovery and have probably lost abortion, the supreme court, health insurance and anything else. We are irrevocably hosed and you're clinging to a non-existant win because you are too afraid to admit that your smug "she won't lose' predictions had no merit at all.

Lol that you don't know the difference between unskewing polls and waiting until votes come in from cities. I am saying wait til the vote is in before declaring a loss.

FYI, Trump up in MI by 40k, with half of Wayne county (where Clinton has 100k lead), 90% of Washtenaw left to come in (where she's already up 30k). She can still lose MI but she hasn't yet.
