The election is over! Trump won! No one has the energy for a long OP today!
Keep it cool guys. I know everyone is hurting but let's try to be excellent to each other.

Mandate is a purely theoretical construct that assumes elected representatives actually represent the will of their constituents
Which is a really quaint and optimistic idea
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Oh boy
I look forward to dealing with this in the classic British way, by watching a very clever person complain about it in a funny way
Look for volunteer opportunities.
Look after your own, especially the marginalized.
Grieve how you need to, for how long you need to, but the work is waiting for you.
It's rough.
This is rough.
fuck
I wish
Talking about peaceful transfer of of power and we owe the president a chance to lead. Then straight to come out in 2 years. Goddammit, she would have been great. Fuck
Just over here being teary eyed at work.
I didn't even have the resolve to watch. I will probably get around to watching it tomorrow or the day after.

This picture from there sums it up, I think.

You had a good run and even a somewhat high note at the end there with Obama.
A lot of individuals along the way won't though
Frexit is the last domino left. If it falls, the EU is done, the west is done. Everyone go home.
"Orkses never lose a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!".
The only resistance towards it is internal, how much of the system itself resists the man.
Given that the Republicans control the entire government, I'm gonna go with "not much"
I am so afraid right now.
It was quite beautiful. And painful.
They're going to be helmed by Trump's SC Justice
So....they aren't

France has a real problem because they have absolutely not done enough to integrate minorities.
They would have to straight up elect elect the "national front" TotallyNotNazis for a Frexit though, I think? France are still not fans of Nazis as a whole for some reason
Trump's inflammatory rhetoric not reducing his support or boosting opposition as much as expected
Low voter turnout overall, but particularly among minorities when compared to their support for Obama
Trump's populist, "everything is broken and I am the only one who can fix it," message strongly resonated with older, whiter, and richer demographics
How do the Democrats get together and combat this in the next two to four years? Because it seems like one of the strongest options is to find a charismatic individual who can channel the energy of Obama into another "Hope and Change" message. I don't know if strong policy can help a candidate anymore; the only thing that matters is how strongly they can sell their message.

It's called adiEU.
Maybe I'm wrong in this but it seems to me that puts us pretty much where we were when Scalia died.
I know Scalia may have reached across the ail once or twice but he wasn't the only one.
And also forgive me if I'm wrong but I know that there are Republicans in the house who are more moderate. Maybe not as many as we'd like because of the tea party but some. There have been congressmen who won't vote down Obamacare unless it can be replaced by something the deem good enough. Maybe none of thats good enough but I don't see the point in throwing in the towel.

No way it actually passes, but...I'd be ok with giving a large swath of the US (including most of my in-laws) the middle finger. Also, I'd totally let ya'll crash at my place.
I know this was probably a joke but I bet he could win.
Man, if you thought the attacks on Hillary were bad...
I cannot even begin to imagine.
This feels relevant to marco rogers' twitter thread about how white liberals form enclaves
