American Election Day 2016: Apocalypse Now

So the Democrats should have been more racist or something? That's your diagnose of Clinton's performance?
I mean, it's not like they didn't go out and try to court white voters. They had people all over that shit at all sorts of types (from Biden to Sanders as an example).
Like, fundamentally, what do you think was the thing they should have said or done that would reach out to these people you are talking about? What was Clinton's campaign not giving them?

Yeah
Which sadly means nothing in the US election process
Hillary lost PA, MI, and WI most likely due to a surge in the white working class in those states.
This has been an exciting election. Looks like the next few years are going to entertaining.
Yes. That's EXACTLY fucking it. Give me a fucking break.
I've already said why I think they failed. You can parse it any way you like.

White people, being scared, blaming it on Browns and Gays.
So it is Democrats' fault for not realizing the system is still designed to put white men above minorities and sucked up to them more?
I guess.
Wait seriously? Shit.
I hope she told him "don't fuck this up, ok?"
That may be, but... I'm glad you're still here with us.
Stay, please.
That latino number has been circulating all night, but it's likely bogus: Nate Silver, here:
"The national exit poll shows Trump making bigger gains among black and Hispanic voters than among whites. But I’d urge at least a little caution. I know that exit polls aren’t supposed to be used for projecting results, but they did an awfully bad job tonight, initially showing what had looked like a near-landslide margin for Clinton. Furthermore, as compared with pre-election polls, Trump clearly overperformed the most in whiter states. So on second thought, maybe that’s a lot of caution and not just a little."
Yeah, I gotta say, the only bright side I can see to a Trump win here is we'll finally get to see what happens when you "burn it all down" as some smug silly geese have been calling for during this election and many times before it. The Stein voters and believers and others.
I suspect they will not like how it goes in reality.
Why would anyone ever bother? "Politics" do not matter.
Don't blame her for her weak opponents, she knew what to do to get where she needs to be and they don't have an excuse that she was the presumed nominee. She got there through strength, coalitions, partnerships etc to get the job done. She followed the rules, and did it admirably. Sadly, I can't say the same for her competition.
Losing to Trump doesn't make her weak. Her failing is not proof her rivals could do it better.
Fuck
Its possible to reach out to the struggling white working class while simultaneously helping minorities and special interest groups.
Just like its possible to help african americans while simultaneously helping hispanic americans
The non-racists are already Dem-leaning Independents or in the Democratic Party. There's no way to reach out to the racists without accepting racist dogma, so there's an impasse there. The root is that those remaining white folk are literally children: children who see others getting their hand-me-downs and crying "no, they can't have that!!" Children who think about themselves and themselves alone: the only things that change their minds on anything is when it affects them directly, be it their daughter being a lesbian or them having to go back to work a week after giving birth. Children who are happy to see bad things happen to others as long as they're not happening to them. This was their last gasp and they managed to pull the country under just to spite it.
Blue Dogs" AKA Republican Dixiecrats in disguise. Not to mention the special "Snowflakes" in the party who will be immune to Trumps Huntdown of Gays, non white American AND Foreign Citizens attain Citizenship alike, who basically became the image of the Dog in the Cafe in flames and totally;"I'm okay with this."
No shit You special "Snowflake" Dem dipshits, you are part of the "TRUE MERICA" class, so no big deal!
How in the FUCK? How?
I almost puked
We officially fucking suck
All that keeps going through my mind is "Holy shit, I'm glad we're upper middle class, white, and in a blue-as-fuck state." And I feel fucking horrible for it. But so many of our friends and loved ones... I feel like we've failed the world as a democracy and any kind of symbol of liberty and tolerance.
The only thing I can hope and pray on is that this unleashes every single scandal that NBC and whoever was too afraid to leak before and he's stuck battling those for his entire term, if not impeached and convicted within months. But with the full weight of the executive behind him...
Sleep's not going to come easy tonight.
I kind of want to die.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
And then someone else is gonna take the lead.
WoW
Dear Satan.....
