Except the popular vote is also for trump, Sooo i don’t know, what the fuck ever
- The popular vote is for nobody if you count the people who didn't vote.
  
  Not voting is the decision that you are fine with tyranny, bigotry, or what ever. So the non voter May as well believe in what ever the winner believes and be treated as such.
I don't want to upset anyone, but both can be true.
- if the first one is true then the second explanation is moot
Probably too soon, but I'll give it an upvote anyway.
- I think everything in that tone deserves an upvote today.
Too soon was yesterday and earlier. The race is over - it's time to rub our own representatives noses in their bullshit and hope our country limps along well enough to give them a chance to apply the lesson. ...I'm not confident that opportunity will be on the table going forward.
- If you're still putting your trust and faith in anyone to represent you and your interests within this system, you might have some lessons to learn yourself..
  
  You can't keep playing their game over and over expecting a different result.
  
  Direct action, mutual aid, dual power, horizontal governing. Those are the ways forward, not yet another cycle of electoral theatre.
  
  I voted for the frying pan in hopes of avoiding the fire. I don't have faith in any of them, but there's a spectrum of awful they all fall on and I'd prefer to at least hang out on the less severe end of it.
  
  But you're right, we absolutely cannot rely on this shit.
- stole
  
  Don't make me tap the sign!
  
  I'm just happy that it gets upvoted somewhere
The Democrats failed by trying to find common ground with the GOP - the electorate is more divided than ever, and if they want Trump, they're not going to vote for Trump-lite - they'll vote for Dorito Mussolini himself... and here we are.
It's just the right time actually
Any analysis that gives agency to individual voters and not the campaign is blockheaded

The people who didn't vote for Blue Hitler aren't the ones who forced Blue Hitler on the ballot.
One of my friends probably just killed themselves.

Fuck you. You are part of the reason she's dead.
- I think you need to deal with your grief offline, mate.
- I'm sorry. I have family that I'm really worried about, myself and an dreading the news.
