 You know what, you're right.   
Let me flog myself for insulting those who couldn't be bothered to research what the **** they were actually voting for and put the future of millions at risk as a result of their stupidity.

 Because we've been doing that for like what? Decades? And here we are still. Unless liberals get their **** together and become the political force they can easily be, I won't be singing their praises.

Definitely from the left wing but I think Warren just has a bit too much baggage and pre-formed opinions of her by the GP.

 I like Warren but I would worry with her up against Trump tbh.

 I'm still so mad at those people who though it's edgy not to vote any of them or voting Harambe just for the fun.  
 
Those 14,000 votes could change the tide. I'm really disgusted.

 How about you insult the people who  didn't vote instead? You know, the minorities that were supposed to carry Hillary to victory. 
 
The problem is always those who don't vote - never those who do.

 Okay but you literally said that white people voted Trump because they only care about themselves which was the basis of my point

 And the rhetoric of Sanders being the hero is meh. He probably would have lost too, just with higher likeability. The US is not ready to go as far left as he is. All Trump had to do would be to hammer on "socialism" and "Venezuela", over and over. He'd have done better with the working class though. That's about it.

 Hillary will most likely win the popular vote. Blame the process. MORE people voted for her!

 You have no point? Mexicans voting for Hillary are not voting for someone threatening white rights. Like, what kinda false equivalency?

Gay people, get ready to be oppressed and harassed Russia style, bye to your marriage certificates, bye to equality, hello to religious freedom bills. Latinos, hilarious, Florida, which is one of the state with most Latinos gave it to Trump, so whats to say? The Latino biggest enemy is another Latino. Hope your family and friends get all deported, so America can be great again, oh, and BUILD THAT ****ING WALLL!!! Black people, you go along with the gays when it comes to oppression, get ready to take a huge step back, and send everything that was worked so hard for, more racism, more bigotry, making that America, "White" again. The rest congratulations, the worst president ever was just elected .. 
 
I can't believe last year I became a citizen here and was excited to cast my vote, now I can't wait to finish school and go back home!

 Yeah, seems like every time gays get rights, the Pres. election swings far right. I'm not kidding either.  Gavin Newsome, former mayor of San Francisco was letting gays marry back in 04'.  The decision energized the conservative base for Bush' reelection.

 My mother said that she doesn't like her for sticking by Bill after the sex scandal; my dad cheated on her once and she stuck with him, wyd

 Nah, he doesn't deserves to go down as a martyr. 
 
Plus then we would have President Pence, actually worse.

 But my point was that a) threatening Mexican rights isn't in the interest of whites b) voting in your own interest is valid

 Now is the time to keep faith in the system of checks and balances, be a positive force in the world, and do everything we can to go forward from this.
