Can we blame this on millennials yet?

53% of millennials voted for Clinton, so no. Blame the Boomers if you have to pin it on one generation.

Meanwhile in the real world, a combination of issues resulted in this outcome, and we can only pray the DNC will learn from it.
 
This is going to do horrible things for my depression. Going to work tomorrow, to see people dancing down the aisles is going to make me want to quit my job.

I'm not angry. I just don't know how to feel anymore. Never has being black made me feel so small, and so unrepresented. To what world do I awaken, tomorrow?

I can't even sleep. I'm just laying here in my bed, wondering how to explain the future to my kids.
seriously, as a minority i feel so little and unwanted.

Racism requires a power structure. Whites have the power. PoC calling whites names do not. It's easy to understand. People who don't understand that are why Trump won. Cool logic right?
Intersectionalism is not reality. No power is needed to be racist.

So what do you call a heel turn when a heel turns even more heel? I wouldn't be surprised if Donald Trump promptly turns around and destroys the entire middle class that elected him.
 
ARE WHITE PEOPLE'S FEELINGS HURT?

WHO GIVES A SHIT

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Many people on this forum said it was IMPOSSIBLE for Trump to win. I think they are disconnected with what the majority of Americans want.

Y'all are being assholes talking about white people. So what if white people voted for Trump? I'm a huge Hillary supporter and it's her job to win people over.

I disagree with this.

When you vote for someone, you are endorsing them and what they stand for.

If they gets elected, it's on you.
 
Does US election live commentary (watching CNN) always have action movie soundtrack playing when talking about the numbers?

I kinda like it lol. So weird.
 
People vote for Trump because their privilege blinds what little empathy they may have.

If you vote Trump because a few people pissed you off, you are damning an entire group based on the actions of 1 or 2. If this is enough for you to say "fuck them" then you were never going to be an ally.

That boondocks picture is so extremely true. We as minorities have done nothing but fight, act better and push for equal rights and what do we have to show for it? Trump leading.
Conversative talk heads paint a picture of minorities gaining power at the expense of whites, and whites being marginalized. When posts like that are made, they legitimize that perspective for some people, and that has real consequences like we are seeing tonight. That's all I'm saying. I'm not unsympathetic to the plight of minorities - I am on your side in that regard.

Fuck this!

Seriously fuck this.

Fuck. Fuck.

Time to blame groups...

- GOP for voter suppression
- Media for legitimising Trump & giving airtime to his surrogates
- DNC for choosing a weak candidate
- GOP for letting Trump win...

Nah man. Americans wanted this, just like how Brits wanted Brexit. More people voting would mean just as many more votes for Trump as Hillary. Wouldn't change a thing.
 
Live in a southern state and vote for a candidate that wants to screw up trade agreements with the country that's the #1 supplier of produce for the United States.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you....

You realize white people are the main culprits of that divide right? Minorities have done nothing but take the punches, so to say they helped the divide is ridiculous.

Look, if black people would stop getting upset every time a cop shot an unarmed black person, we wouldn't have a divide. If trans people would just shut up and stop reminding us they exist and deserve to be recognized for who they were, we wouldn't be divided. If environmentalists would stop talking about rising tides, eroding coast lines, abnormally dangerous weather, we wouldn't be divided AND we would have all this sweet coal and gas, don't drink the water.
 
Just when I'd gotten comfortable feeling good about being American, we go and Brexit ourselves.

Back to the Bush years. Back to the darkest timeline. Back to the future.

The Democrats will have a new secret weapon in 4 years.

Given that Trump is winning, and Schwarzenegger won in California a few years ago, maybe the democrats should just run with a celebrity. Kanye would probably inspire more people to come out and vote than Hillary.

White man checking in. I voted for Hillary in Florida. I am so sorry for all of us as citizens, but I am not giving up yet. I feel like too many people are. FUCK this election result. It does not invalidate us, at all. If this is what is happening, then we just have to step it up. All of us.
