A civil war sis? Really?

Hillary's odds were against her
- The medias talking 24/7 about her emails
- Wikileaks
- The investigations

The DNC really ****ed up by not forcing her to step down as a nominee in the midst of all the bad coverage.

Oh sweetie you act like a smartass butwhen the statistical evidence of a hate crimes rise comes in like it did with Brexit comes in

Lord Blackout

The democratic party has to go back to being the party of the little man. That's how Obama and Bill won.

No I mean it certainly did immediately post-Brexit but things died down quickly.

it would have been iconic if hillary won without focusing on the "struggles" of working class white men

oh well

Anyway, Elizabeth Warren seems like an okay-ish candidate. Her policies seem reasonable and pretty standard.

Well she had advantages or some sort.

-Mega PAC of internet trolls defending her and shading other candidates
-StarPower of Hollywood
-Almost a billion dollars of Campaign money
-Support of almost 75% of news outlet of America
-Support and vote of 5 former living presidents (both demo and repub)
-DNC

She is just so, dumb for not harnessing the power of the negative media unlike Trump (who has 65% less campaign money than Hillary yet won because of free negative news etc etc...)

Obviously I don't support violence, but they brought this on themselves.

Huh? Trump's comments make him relatable.
Who the hell would relates to constant reports about emails and foundation corruption?
The DNC shouldn't have let her run. She has strong support from lifelong democrats but you need more than that for the general election.

Bernie said he doesn't rule out a 2020 run

I really think he and Elizabeth are the future of the US politics

So if neither candidate hits 270, Trump just gets chosen by Congress right?

If the latinos are turning out as well as I've heard, she has Nevada and Arizona in the bag. Florida is iffy, I think Trump will get it. NC is also weird but seems to be trending Trump. I think Hillary will closely nab PA which will hand her a narrow 270+.

Praying this is the worst case scenario but its so hard to predict

mess this wasn't even the worst case scenario
at least I got 3/5

State of Grace.

I woke up today hoping yesterday's elections were a nightmare...

damn I still cannot believe that man was elected. I might not be american or even live there but I really cried watching / reading people's reactions and talking to some of my friends and family members from there. I'm so scared for the future of this world
Please stay safe everyone

The problem is that she ran a typical campaign. By the book. This probably would have led her to a victory against anyone who wasn't Trump, but her campaign decided not to adapt to his strategies.

I still think Tim Kaine was a terrible VP choice for her.
No one knew who tf he was and he didn't hold himself well in the VP debate either.

LuLuDrops

Looked at the full Nevada report, they were saved by early voting. Means the overconfidence there didn't blow it, luckily. Now more than ever, the liberal media has to stop hyping "shoe-ins".

Also, look at how some of the red state races for Senator were closer than swing state/Lake state races.

DNC has two years to get in formation and address this.

Kaine was a terrible choice. She should have picked someone that could have brought in Florida like a Latino or the more African American votes like Corey Booker. She needed someone that would energize voters to balance her out
