With all due respect, that's an absolutely cretinous attitude. You have kids, right? Don't you care about the state of the world they live in? Well it just got a whole lot worse. Just as well it's "funny", right? Hahaha.
I think it will be a wait and see. I hope he won't be as bad as some think

And obviously America doesn't agree which you have to accept. Having your attitude is one of the reasons there was such a significant amount of silent trump fans

Only thing is the result hasn't been announced yet. Think people are making a mountain out of a molehill here.
He is up about 100,000 in Wisconsin and 50,000 in Michigan. Pennsylvania has been called and he will almost surely win Alaska..

It's pretty obvious who is going to win. She should have waited for one more state and given her concession. I'm not happy about a Trump presidency, but she has to accept reality like every other candidate who has given their concession speech relatively quickly after defeat. She obviously is going to use every trick in the book for legal challenges/recounts, but I just don't see any chance of her winning this now. She's gonna have to accept it eventually.

I feel sorry for Hillary as a person, it must be a type of awful that few ever experience in life. All that time and effort wasted and now you have to grovel before a man who has been denigrating you for months and who boasts about sexually assaulting women. I wouldn't wish that on anybody, absolutely mortifying.

Her campaign team and the DNC on the other hand can go feck themselves.

Neither is a lie. I'm an atheist from a Hindu family . I know Americans are pretty religious, so they might not like an atheist. I didnt know if Trump had a problem with Hindus.

Looks like he doesnt.
Ah fair enough. I'm sure you'd have been fine eitherway and if he does have issues with ahtiests then I'll be seeing more of the world whilst the US fence themselves in.

The only positive about all this is that surely now it's time to reconsider this ancient 2 party system that's in place?

Trump isnt part of the political establishment though.

Hillary has been in politics for 30 years.
He's donated to politicians though. He's definitely part of the same elite that Hilary 'represents'

People having the attitude that him getting in is not a joke and actually a very serious threat to the world is why some people vote for him.

It's as good as any other I suppose.

No sympathy at all for Hillary. But I do feel really bad for Obama. For such a great guy to have what I would say is a pretty poor presidency, all things considered. A fair amount of which wasn't his fault. But this ending is such a low note for him to go out on. He deserved a better successor.

No, I'm just recognising that she's human. I'm sure she'll make a very gracious speech tomorrow and urge her supporters to get behind Trump.
Right, this is not normal behaviour
Would she have been too tired had she won too?
:lol:

Haven't you heard? racist people are saying being called racist is the reason they are racist or whatever. It's some weeeird logic we're hearing.

My attitude that he's unfit to lead?
In his defense, he has managed to create and lead a successful business empire, but the positives stop there. My biggest concern is his apparent lack of any moral fiber closely followed by his non existing political platform.

DNC must feel pretty fecking stupid now, seeing as they ostracized Bernie and basically rigged the primaries in favor of Hillary

On the plus side he'll be sandwiched between two unintelligible presidents which will do wonders for his historical standing.

The problem with that is one can pick out any group of people from a hat and say the election was won based on that group. Why racists? Why older people? Why the white male? because those groups youre allowed to pick on in this climate. You could say it was won because of left-handed people on the same merit. It just shows a prejudice against all people who voted for the opposite of you. I'm sure there are plenty of racists who vote the other way too.
People have to at least own up to the fact they are will to vote for somebody with racist beliefs as long as he agrees with what they want for the country.
That they can except racism to get what they want.

Roe v Wade could be overturned, Gay Marriage repealed, Voting Rights Act completely gutted. It is all on the table.
Not necessarily. We've had a conservative majority on the court for decades and Roe v Wade is still here, as are the others. If the Dems play it smart, Trump will be in for one term and the remaining justices will stick around for four more years before retiring (or dying).

Thing is there is no law that says we can only have two parties. In fact we have many political parties. Just the other ones don't get support. And what support they get people usually complain about since it "takes away from one of the major party candidates".
