Well bohoo, the gas price up to tolerable price levels...
In scandinavia its at approx $6 a gallon, and they just increased taxes on it

It took years for the gas prices to go down here. Don't come for me about this. I don't live in Scandinavia. When the gas prices go up, everybody suffers. We do a lot of driving here.

Still can't believe how Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin ****ed America up!

Yup. Outside of big cities, public transportation is a mess. Most places aren't even bike-friendly.

In the US, if you don't have a car and you live outside a city, good luck.

In scandinavia they also have tree healthcare, high education and benefits for everyone.

Where are your tax dollars going?

Yeah but the quality of that education is questionable and getting worse, and the healthcare system in sweden has huge challenges because of growing pop., fewer doctors and nurses and especially the rural areas are affected by more and more community services shutting down, yet they keep increasing taxes.
Actually Sweden is for the first time really becoming a divided country, kinda like US, with all the riches and services concentrating to big cities and countryside more and more left vehind despite all the natural resources comes from there.
I myself live in stockholm, but i can 100% understand the anger, and the solution to that is NOT increasing gas prices and just go on...

Why do people vote for third parties though? Seriously now. Like, what's the point of it??

Superiority complex to "make a statement"
Knowing you're voting for someone with no chance means you're deliberately wasting your vote. AKA you're fine with whoever wins and you supported their victory by not voting for the only candidate that stood a chance against them. THAT is the reality.

[St. Charles]

I agree. It's politically irresponsible to vote for a 3rd party candidate who obviously won't win (in the case that a similar, more popular candidate could have been chosen instead).

[Ezekiel]

Democrats are so passive overall. I hope they try to fillabuster every little thing because that's what Republicans did. (But they probably won't because they like being screwed.) Whoever tries to run next election needs to be so aggressive with their campaign, never alienate thier base (ex. Tim Caine as VP... wut?, and don't accept corporate money.

Get rid of the electoral college and make every vote count!

That's right, but you know very damn well they're not gonna win. There's not even a chance a third party is going to win. Why do you choose to waste your vote when you could vote for the option you think will be better or at least less bad for your country?

1% of that 1,7% which voted for a third party candidate would have made the difference for a Clinton win.

Let me not with the troll Harambe or Bernie votes. You guys really did mess this up.

Why focus on the 1.7% voting for third parties.
johnson probably took votes off Trump.

Why not focus on the 46.9% that didn't vote.

Or what about this:

Turnout
2012 Obama: 65.9m
2016 Clinton: 59.1m = -6.8m
2012 Romney: 60.9m
2016 Trump: 59m = -1.9m

Those might not be the final figures, but it seems pretty clear what happened.
The republican vote dropped with Trump, but the dems dropped even further.

Blame has to go to Hillary and the DNC - no one else.

At least Democrats and GOP agree on one thing: getting rid of the filibuster

[St. Charles]

The fact that Dems aren't even trying and still managed to snag the popular vote.

You are totally right. By "you" I meant all the ignorant Americans who didn't even support Trump, but gave him the White House.

These people in other threads saying we're overreacting

Sorry for CARING

Listening to this relevant Pink Floyd song. from 1977

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry

I can't wait for poverty levels to sky-rocket in the rural white pockets that voted for Trump.

What sucks is that it wasn't even really poor rural whites.
It was middle class rural whites who hate black people.

Like we all gotta suffer cause Kayleigh Ann voted for Trump cause she thinks she's oppressed cause she can only take one vacation a year instead of two under Obama and "those evil black women" with more impressive degrees at her office are getting promotions before her.

I can't wait for the rural towns of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to burn.

All of this!

Haha, I'm not eligible to vote in American elections, but feel sad to see this happen.

But no, the people that gave him the White House are those deluded Hillary supporters - some still too dumb to see that the real problem was within the democratic party. Some are out there on the streets protesting, but they should really be calling for heads to roll at the DNC.
