U.S. Presidential Election Day Megathread [Official]

[BuckSparkles]

I'm sad for the country. I'm a Canadian who's lived here since I was 7. I still don't have my citizenship cause of how expensive it is to get, so I didn't have a voice in this election.

As a gay man, who is an immigrant. This election was about the worst thing that could happen to me.

If you are a legal citizen that concern has no validity.

And gay? At worse, the states might decide gay marriage again. At best, -nothing will happen to you-.

liberals calling everyone who voted trump a/an <insert word here>

how very tolerant of the left. interesting that people would throw insults are voters in a democracy and claim more than 50% of a nation is a/an <insert word here>

guess liberals are less tolerant than conservatives lol

Tolerance aside (won't even go there), 48 million is not 50% of the nation.

[Aquinan]

What the hell did you guys do? /facepalm

[drakonblayde]

God, the media doesn't want to let Wi, MI, AZ go. Like...what more votes are being counted?

I get MI and AZ. Fox declared WI for Trump hours ago. Don't know why they're holding off on PA though. 97% in and Trump with a big lead, the networks might as well call it. Of course, that effectively declares Trump the winner, and I'm not sure which network wants to be the first to pull that trigger

Is it just me or are most of the people in this thread who are dissatisfied not even American citizens?

[Synadrasa]

LMFAO this shit is too funny. Only 2 weeks ago CNN was asking dumb questions like, "will you concede if Hillary wins". The media has been so bias this election it's unprecedented.

You do realize and understand that Trump is much more pro gay and minorities than Hillary right?

[Mgann-Morzz]

Pollsters are really gonna have to rethink things for next 4 years.

[Icecat]

I must say I've been quite impressed with the New York Times. Their coverage has been top notch.

If anyone wants to tinker with it. Can go county by county and all that jazz.

I also had a lot of fun with this website as it was going down. Also, I almost never watch anything aside from C-SPAN, and I know MSNBC has a liberal bias, but I quite liked their coverage, discussion, and people they got in to talk about what a Trump presidency might look like. Even if it's the last time I watch a major news source, hey it wasn't all that bad to me.

[BuckSparkles]

he hasn't won yet.

Bread, comeon man. He won. He is at 266, will win Arizona and Alaska. Your state and Michigan are looking pro trump too.

[paralleluniverse]

Dear liberals: enjoy being "on the wrong side of history", like you're wont to say.

We're not on the wrong side of history.

Enjoy the economic and environment disaster of President Trump.

[Dextroden]

The real MVP. Mother fucking Gary Johnson.

Even though the libs couldn't get 5%, they certainly fucked shit up this time.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

The Supreme Court made it legal nation-wide to gay marry, they can (and most likely will) take that away nation-wide.

Also, they said they don't have citizenship.

You do realize and understand that Trump is much more pro gay and minorities than Hillary right?

You do realize Pence will be the main one making the decisions and guiding Trump along? The same Pence that believes, supports, and has been pushing gay conversion therapy for years. You do also realize this means the liklihood of multiple Scalia level conservatives on the bench that could overturn gay marriage and defer it back to state rights?

It was done hours ago, just call it ffs. Media is trying to ease this into the rest of the country.

[Zyster]

I think most of the world (except Russia, you won Russia) thinks just that.

I'll be waiting for any evidence to support this claim. Sadly the planet will probably of been consumed into the sun before you can prove such things.

[drakonblayde]

The problem is that everything Trump put out about actual policy was proven to be ridiculous by actual data, former presidents and Republican congressmen, and every major economist.

You mean like those polls, which were also based on 'actual data', predicting a landslide Clinton victory?

C'mon man, don't fall for stats criticizing the plans of a presidential candidate in the run up to an election. grain of salt hehe

Donald hires all the smartest people but doesn't listen to them, pence is a hood ornament because trump doesn't play second fiddle.

[Kasierith]

What's with all the pence fearmongering? Surely he can't be worse than Bush.

While running for governor, he stated that he publicly supported certain groups and organizations that were known known to engage in shock therapy and other extreme methods of "curing gayness" and the like. His overall policies as governor demonstrated that this kind of mentality and direction is something he carried from the election into his actual governance.

He's 277. Penn is his.
