yo you guys fucked up

EDIT: fuck off ele

We lost either way

No you didn't. Anyone who thinks Clinton is as bad as trump needs to do their research. Clinton was bad. Trump was disgusting. I didn't bother posting in this thread because I didn't think it was even possible for Trump to actually win.
The office of the presidency, the most powerful position in the world, is now a joke.

TBH out of clinton and Trump, Trump is better. But obviously a 3rd party candidate would be the best since they aren't as retarded as them two.

I shouldn't have to remind everyone (least of all you Erth), that this is a fancy place and therefore these short shitposts aren't allowed.

I'd say this election shows that democracy still works sometimes. Trump represents the opposite of the establishment. The mainstream media and the rest of the establishment trivialised and mocked him, and now they're all eating shit. Why? Because the American public wants them to eat shit. They're sick of the same old bullshit.

This election was never about the policies, it was a cultural war. The anti-establishment, anti-authority crowd won. I think we've just entered a new cultural era like the 60s. There are going to be a lot of very fun and interesting cultural happenings in the next decade. Expect some good music.

Advice to the mopey whiners:
Try to look on the bright side and not be all lonely and depressed while everyone else is out having fun.

On the contrary, this election showed just how much democracy can fail. Clinton and Trump were the two most hated presidential candidates. Ever. Nobody wanted to need to make the choice between them, but still voted for them in direct rebellion against the candidate they hated. Thats not how democracy should work.

It also showed just how easily manipulated a lot of people are. Trump was only represented as anti-establishment and anti-authority, he's never actually been those things. Even prominent people like Milo, who you'd think should look at the ways Trump has tried to silence and censor people who make fun of/critisize him and rail against the clear disdain for free speech, was easily taken with him purely on the grounds of believing Trump represented free speech at his core.

The only good thing to come out of this is Bernie got liberals fired up and then wikileaks showed them how awful the DNC was, so we may hopefully see a strong progressve movement to really revolutionize the DNC and the liberal movement in the United States. It's just too bad we have to fight and suffer a Trump presidency with republican control of congress in the meantime.

Everyone who thinks that the US elections are a classic example of failed democracy are off track. The mathematics of a system in which not a majority but a majority of won districts allows candidates to be succesful despite being not as popular as others.

The video should be well understandable for everyone here.



Congratulation Trump supporters, I guess.

ooh, I love cgp grey, and 1 person is useless in voting (unless it's only 1 person choosing) but a group you can do what you want really.

You say that, but Hillary Clinton was far more involved in politics than Donald Trump AND outspent Donald in this election. My vote mattered.

What luckily wasn't the decider was a very corrupt and bias media. It's blatantly obvious that the democratic party truly wanted Bernie Sanders, who polled far better against Donald than Hillary did. Likewise, the republicans REALLY didn't want Donald Trump.

Neither party got what they wanted, because what they wanted wasn't in line with the American people. To me, that's democracy kicking ass.

Very excited for our new president to take office.

I'm glad you guys elected Trump.
At least Merkel now gets off our arse about our border fence, and in general. I can only hope this will start the dominoes, and we can get rid of all these migrant-huggers in power all over Europe.
