I'm actually cool with it if it's voted on. Or they get an interest free loan with "The money put back into the economy because of the stadium and the community involvement" being declared the interest.

Then again, I'm a Packers fan, so things are a bit skewed for me.

I said this during the Primary and I'll say it now


This election is about Agency.
This is what happens when you ignore people's Agency

They use it to oppose you.


While Trump may not actually be offering net + in Agency, he is offering the illusion of agency so the voters believe they will get more Agency.


People are scared and want to have control of their life.
This is a generalization but overlaps with the common human condition and reasons, this does not mean many of the votes were not racially/gender motivated, but the fear people feel is a major factor to solidify their decision. 'Tis being human.

Except for deregulation of Wall Street, ignoring climate change, people with pre-existing conditions being denied health insurance, and large tax cuts for the wealthy.

You mean the same cuts Obama extended?

Obama was too little too late on climate change. Hillary was even worse than him. You need a president to declare war on climate change if you want any hope of that not loving us.

Also Obama care has a literal poor tax if you can't afford health care. gently caress Obamacare.

So wait, did Clinton send out her campaign manager to tell everyone to go home before calling Trump to concede? She didn't even give a concession speech? What a loving cowardly thing to do, especially after making so much hay about how Trump was going to rewrite the decorum rule book.

It's okay, we were all reading the same info deriving the same general conclusions from what we saw and got totally blindsided.

How a $1bn presidential campaign misread all the same information though is fascinating or at least would be had it not led to a Trump presidency.

Well her legacy has been destroyed overnight and her lifelong dream to be President was crushed so I can't blame her. If you or I feel bad about this how do you think she feels :(.

I mean, I am sad Trump won but the fact that the democrats made sure she was the nominee and thought they could pundit there way to a win is why we have president Trump. I don't feel bad for her. The #1 reason we have a President Trump is Hillary Clinton.

There will be some fighting and finger pointing but my hope is that as democrats or leftists or progressives that we can come together and keep fighting the good fight.

At least Oklahoma got most of their ballot initiatives right. :( I'm not looking forward to this new paradigm of executing prisoners by boiling them alive, but at least they're not sending people to prison for felony drug possession anymore, and at least we're not going to have a twelve cent sales tax.

Oh hey I saw this earlier but didnt comment. The sales tax defeat is actually really loving bad because the school systems in Oklahoma are on their last legs as is. They needed that money, because that dumb loving state has run itself into the ground with Republican fiscal policies. Kansas may get all the press for being a Brownback shithole, but Oklahoma has been on the decline for far longer and the damage is far deeper. Especially since the oil industry was dealt the double whammy of fracking becoming unprofitable *and* the state shaking itself apart as the Earth itself rises up to register some complaints. Losing that money means the lower performing (black and hispanic) schools are going to get shafted even harder to preserve the (white) successful schools.
