"Mainstream media propaganda" is just lol and shows you both haven't been following the election and are just yourself buying into the objectively false propaganda presented to you. You've naively swallowed without thinking- the exact thing you're accusing others of- which is more than a little ironic. I mean, it's fairly well known that the leave campaign in brexit was pumped up on lies for the majority of the time, and most of them were dumped with their main paddlers trying to escape from them as soon as the result went through? |
I’ve grown so sick of this election, I just want it over with already. Both candidates are bad, and it’s not easy for one to choose between “bad” and “worse”
I mean, you have Donald Trump, who’s a successful, yet controversial businessman who wants to build a wall on the southern border, potentially ban Muslims from entering the US, and has been accused of being sexist. On the other hand, you have Hillary Clinton, who has been involved in countless scandals, performed actions that have gotten people killed (most notably Benghazi), and supports totalitarian regimes that violate human rights all while being under investigation by the FBI. When both candidates are extremely controversial and dangerous, it’s hard to tell who is worse, especially when I can’t believe either is really qualified to be the president. Personally, I just want this election over with. I mean really, several sites have projected that Hillary has a 91% chance of winning for several months, which just seems really unreasonable and unrealistic for her to have THAT high of a chance of winning, especially given that these sites tend to be extremely biased and overly liberal. Tumblr SJWs are even worse, they only want Clinton simply because she's female, they don't even care about any of the things she's done, pretend the email scandal never happened, and continuously demonize Trump while worshiping Clinton like a god. I mean, this election has become so ridiculous that it's hard to tell what's real and what's not, who's really the more popular candidate and who's really ahead in the polls. Major and mainstream news sources claim that Hillary will win, while minor news sources and alternative media claim that it will be Trump who wins. The truth is almost impossible to pinpoint. Trump may say some stupid things, but Hillary's actions have been extremely horrific, and everyone knows that actions speak louder than words. Let's be honest here, people are over-exaggerating almost everything about both candidates, especially Trump, to the point where they act like he's some kind of ultimate evil. I've actually heard people say that if he wins, the movie "The Purge" is going to become a reality, but let's be realistic here, even if he does win, I highly doubt that The Purge is going to be a reality (or the Hunger Games for that matter, I've seen people bring that up as well). I mean, people are just so nonsensical, like how Hillary claimed that Pepe, an innocent internet meme was a symbol of white supremacy even though Pepe was only depicted as Trump as a joke and not seriously. The problem is just that people will believe anything the media tells them and is so biased it's painful. |
IT'S ALMOST OVER!!
Please, please, please no recounts. Quote:

What especially gets me about the latter candidate is her continuous call for a no-fly zone over Syria, even though she herself acknowledged in 2013 that such a zone "would kill a lot of Syrians". On top of that, several former US-military members advise against her plan and even go as far as to say that imposing a no-fly zone in Syria could potentially lead to war with Russia. Now read that again. RUSSIA. The largest nuclear power on earth. It gets all the more alarming when you consider that Clinton was, among others, funded by an Ex-NRA lobbyist. Now, I really hope that I'm just reading too much into this, because honestly, a nuclear war between the US and Russia is the last thing this planet needs at the moment. So yes, I can fully understand that many Americans are fed up with this election and the candidates, and I'm glad that I'm not in the position of having to vote for one of them. I'd probably vote for a third-party candidate or outright make a blank vote, because as you said, neither of the two is qualified to hold the most powerful office in the world. |
Why do i keep seeing things that show that Trump actually has a chance of winning?
interesting how this has suddenly grown a lot closer |
Any idea when we'll hear the results? Obviously won't be today or tomorrow, but man I wanna know.....
|
Results may actually come as early as tomorrow, if our new tech can handle the tallies.
I can't believe this is really happening! I never had a girl fall in love with me yet! I dun wanna die without someone to love emotionally nor physically! ; ^; |
We'll know who will win in about 2 hours.
Anyway Kentucky and Indiana has been called for Trump. Vermont goes to Clinton. |
Trump is winning New Hampshire, but not very much has been released.
|
Once again, Indiana doesn't go one day without being a national embarrassment. I'm so disappointed in my state's love for punishment.

I hate you posers acting like people can't choose what they want. If people want Trump in Florida, so be it. Don't pretend like my state is somehow bad or whatever shit you're pretending. Secede Florida from the USA? My ass, looks like you want a war with whoever disagrees with you, and a war is what will happen with attitudes like that. We tried that in the 1800's, tell me how that went, eh? Anyways, it looks like Trump is indeed going to win here, so you should all just suck it up and take it in stride. |
I have a message to everyone regardless of whichever candidate wins...
DO IT. MOVE. LIKE YOU SAID YOU WILL. |

Welp.
We're fucked. |
trump is doing much better than expected, but Clinton is retaking Virginia.

Bernie would have been winning by a large margin. The Democratic party was too corporatist going into the election, too arrogant about this, and now they've got a very slight chance.

This is stressing me out a lot, a Trump presidency would be awful for america sure (You don't have to be a legal genius to see all his awful policies, and the way they're inferior to Clinton's in every possible way for what they are)
But... his election would be directly effect people abroad, too. It empowers people who listen to his derogatory, regressive rhetoric both citizen and politician alike. That doesn't just stunt social progress, it quite literally puts people in danger. An anti-lgbt, anti-migrant, anti-non-white government that Trump presents spreads his own views and justifies them elsewhere, here in australia the fringe right controlling our prime minister and his party will only get bolder, louder and more powerful with the election of Trump and that makes me genuinely upset for the future of my own country |
Polls showed that Bernie would have beaten Trump, and its possible he could have; however, Bernie may have been too far left for the US. Despite the polls displaying those numbers, they were before the primaries even ended (too early), so I would bet my money on a Trump win against Bernie.
I think it would come down to people not wanting to pay Bernie's absurdly high tax rates. He even admitted his taxes would have risen taxes on the lower taxes. It would have been very interesting: a left-wing populist vs. a right-wing populist |

While looking at the list of states for where it is too early to call, I was very surprised that my home state of Washington is one of them.
|
I think its coming down to Michigan. If Clinton wins Michigan, she wins it all.
