I got sucked in by the electoral college level polls and now I am depressed. This sort of thing is going to enter popular use the same way "they can't even predict the weather next week" always comes up during climate change discussions. OTOH, cinematographer and life-long professional troll Michael Moore called it a couple of weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29xpn94_CL4 edit: Is marijuana legal yet?

There is always alcohol. I tried to go clean but gently caress it, might as well meet an end that's from my own hands.

You guys he won! Trump won! This is gonna be great! America is so hosed! How are you not excited? Sure the people that live there are screwed, but what about the millions of brown people across the ocean who's lives were just saved by not letting Clinton into the white house? And we're all hosed either way, we live in Canada! This is gonna be hilarious. I haven't been this excited for a long time.

Just go to Mass or Maine, this is one of things that we started but the US is beating us to complete. More Americans gained access to legal weed tonight then there are Canadians, period. Can't wait to see how this doesn't affect the planned inquiries and town halls.

One of Trudeau's best qualities as a politician is that he is very, very aware of his own limitations and he listens to expertise. Let's not go pretending he's even a little bit like Trump.

They made it through 8 years of dubya with only one major city getting destroyed, I'm sure they'll manage to survive Trump too. e: i really did not think I would think back fondly on the days of George W though. Weird.

It's not just Trump, though. It's the demonstration that there's a blueprint for the weakening of the norms of liberal democracy, and that blueprint can be exported easily (easily!) to other countries. A lot of the European far-right figured it out a long time ago, but we thought (for whatever reason) it was a European phenomenon. It's not, and we haven't figured out how to fight back against it yet. People ignored this the first time I posted it, but this is Kellie Leitch's (and Rob Ford's, and John Tory's) campaign manager, giving us fair warning that Leitch is going to go full Trump. It might not work this time around, but he and people like him, and Leitch and people like her, are going to keep trying and keep gnawing away at our norms. https://twitter.com/NickKouvalis/status/796215424090152960

It won't work because she's not a man running against a woman. The fact Hillary is a woman is not inconsequential here. The rest of what you're saying is bang on though. The left is garbo politically.

The very same Bernie Sanders who repeatedly stated how crucial it was to vote for Hillary, after his defeat in the primary? Yeah, judging by the way people obviously responded to that one, he would've been a shoe-in

Actually I agree that Bernie would have most likely beat Trump. But haha nope now an orange troll is about to be POTUS and the GOP controls the House, Senate and is going to stack the Supreme Court with right wingers. All because Hillary Clinton is a monster who refused to accept that she wasn't meant to be President.

I mean how the gently caress did she think she'd get away with so blatantly running roughshod over the entire political process and using every dirty trick in the crooked politician handbook in this day and age and then turn around and campaign as the moral choice?

more like dICK posted:Yes the demographics last night clearly point to an easy win for a Jewish socialist. They do though? The only reason that Trump won was because Democrats hated Clinton and didn't turn up to vote. If Bernie was there running a populist 'hope' campaign you don't think some of those 7m Obama supporters that didn't vote this time around would have come out?
