Taken from another forum:

Just want people to know how close this election really was.
These expected blue states flipped, all surprisingly, and their 46 EC votes gave us the result we have now. They stay blue and it's a competely different result.

Pennsylvania

Dem vote fell 145,000 from 2,990,000 to 2,844,000
Rep vote rose 232,000 from 2,680,000 to 2,912,000

If Democrats halve those losses they retain PA


Michigan

Dem vote fell 297,000 from 2,564,000 to 2,267,000
Rep vote rose 164,000 from 2,115,000 to 2,279,000

If Democrats could retain 1 out of 20 lost votes they retain MI


Wisconsin

Dem vote fell 239,000 from 1,621,000 to 1,382,000
Rep vote rose 1,500 from 1,408,000 to 1,409,500

If Democrats could retain 1 out of 8 lost votes they retain WI


This election was decided by a margin of less than 110,000 votes across these three states.
Never let it go un-repeated.
EVERY VOTE COUNTS.

Yeah don't vote guys smh. I hope Kaepernick and the his ilk feel stupid after this.

I know Obama is a world wonder but how couldn't Clinton hold up at least half of the 2012 numbers. She actually lost votes :x

So much **** I want to say
Democrats clinging to their graphics showing uneducated while males vote Republican, meanwhile their voter turnout dropped
Trump didn't win because of racism
Democrats ****** them selves over they way they ****** Bernie over
Democrats have nobody to blame but themselves.
Fwiw no I didn't vote Trump. I voted Johnson

Anybody notice how serious Melania looked? Like she never wanted this. Never stood beside Donald. Even the kid looked sad. Is there any meaning to this?

 

[atlsfinest]

Yes. They are in it of themselves. Carsons is probably gonna be Attorney General and Amorosa is gonna be some communications director type.

Cliffs: Bruh was bored and decided to run for president. He didn't think he'd win, but poor whites came out in droves and got his *** in the office. Now he and his wife have to come up with a plan.

He won a lot of people on this alone.

In a week where the unemployment rate was 4.9%. 4.9%!!
What's the matter with those people? They deserve everything that's coming to them.

fugazi number when u consider 95 million Americans not working...MANY of them in prime working age.

Can you not read? You're intellectual acuity is lacking if you can't understand what he's saying. Think, don't just react. And he can compare whatever he wants to, this isn't communist China. Who the hell are you telling another man what he can say? I know you would love to censor what he says because you don't agree with it but it's not that kind of party.

Does white privelage exist.... Yes
Is being fat comparable to being black.... No

Thanks

 

[ninjahood]

The system is broken, you say, so the answer is to elect someone who has no business being in office. Worst comes to worst, voting Hilary in would've been just status quo.

Now things are just going to change for the worst.

What america just did was vote for the devil you don't know vs the devil you know. Be careful what you wish for, america.

Tax reform √

repeal onerous regulations √ (OMG that CAFE law is gonna get torched )

those alone is worth 4 years of da Donald

PRO TIP: Unemployment is always a fugazi number. It was fugazi during the Bush years when unemployment was low and the economy was doing well too. Regardless, its alot lower than it was and alot of progress has been made.

Easy don't tell anyone here you voted for Johnson

They'll think you basically voted for Trump and shouldn't be allowed to vote for who they don't like

 

[freeze]

Can one of you guys post that stat of voters again. The peeps that didnt vote and who voted for whom again

Anybody

Her campaign dropped the ball w/ Wisconsin.

A lot of "what ifs" after this election, but ultimately, Hillary's team messed up royally. They had this election in the bag had they only not been so arrogant.

 

[evolution fight]

Stupidity?? How? IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not just Minorities.

what a stupid thing to argue. No surprise coming from you though.
Knew you were a white boy.

 

[misterc]

always makes me sick seeing a bunch of frat kids like that.

well before trump.

you can feel the entitlement oozing out their pores.

The racism here is astounding. Frat kids? Entitlement? How do you know they aren't people who worked their ***** off to get where they are? Maybe they came from nothing. Maybe they are what you think they are. But your just making assumptions based of their manner of dress and color of their skin. What would you say if I posted a picture of some young black men with oversized sweatshirts, basketball shorts and a fresh pair of J's and commented on how much I hate thugs like that? Then said I can feel their sense of entitlement to my tax dollars being "oppressed" welfare leaches? Jesus man, think about what you're saying. We're not gonna come together and change things with that attitude. You sound like the KKK. The enemy of us all are the top few %. I'm not talking about regular rich people, I'm talking about the ones who actually run ****. You really believe they see whites, blacks, etc as different? We're all trash to them. They use race to turn us on each other. Cmon man!!

Turnout

Nearly half of eligible voters (231,556,622 people) did not vote in the 2016 presidential election, according to data of early turnout rates compiled by the United States Election Project and crunched by Josh Nelson. The full results may not be available until two weeks.

The early data found that of the U.S. population:

46.6% didn't vote

25.6% voted for Hillary Clinton

25.5% voted for Donald Trump

1.7% voted for Gary Johnson

It wasn't the lowest turnout in history, however. About 49 percent of eligible voters did not participate in the 1996 election, in which Democratic candidate Bill Clinton beat Republican candidate Bob Dole.

Over 11,000 people voted for Harambe. Harambe is a dead gorilla.

I'm not racist. I have lots of white friends.

None of my friends are fat though. You got me there!

I'm having myself a nice little Wednesday listening to Donald Trump diss songs on youtube.

ridiculous. people treat the process as a joke and then cry when something bad happens.

 

[you go boy]

the popular vote didnt win this election... it didnt even matter some people didnt vote

False

The sad part is, even there are other parties on the voting sheet, Democrat and Republican are really the only options. What's voting 3rd party gonna do? They're not gonna win. Even though there were a low Democrat turnout, the ones that did vote voted 3rd party because they don't like Hillary and are upset. It's the sad reality for Democrats but it's either they vote for somebody they don't like or somebody they really don't like. A good chunk or them voted for neither and went 3rd party and look what happened.

 

[DeadsetAce]

that's not true at all...the second part of your post.

Which is to give it all to Pence while they pose for pictures with foreign dignitaries. If you're a member of team raw, just read about the increase in monster rates in Indiana to see what your VP elect is capable of. [emoji]128514[/emoji]

 

[a55a5in11]

Do people realise that voting is for much more than just the president. So much major local **** that really effects you more than a president and people refuse to vote because they don't like Hillary or Trump

 

[moiety]

So...

Elizabeth Warren 2020? 

Kamala or Michelle

Do people realise that voting is for much more than just the president. So much major local **** that really effects you more than a president and people refuse to vote because they don't like Hillary or Trump

Of course they don't, you're asking the wrong people my man
