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.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
1. If people voted for who they wanted and not a certain party this country will run a ton better
2. I know tons of Republicans that voted third party. Don't talk negative to somebody who at least made a vote. I voted for who I preferred not who I thought had a chance to be a winner

This bothers me so much. People get all butthurt over the presidential election, but probably can't even name their local councilperson or a local issue. I stuck to local stuff this election. Didn't even vote for prez because it doesn't affect me nearly as much.

This is wrong Many democrats stayed home which caused losses in the rust belt states. Third party also took votes away.

They're not hearing you. If this was based strictly on popular votes, Hillary would be the victor which is why they need to do away with the electoral college.

Dems will always get the popular vote
Electoral college will never go away
Lib voters didnt do their part especially in swing states

^ look im not saying voting doesnt matter i was joking and being sarcastic...obviously we had to go through a lot to even get the right to vote... but im just saying that its discouraging knowing that the popular vote doesnt mean much which makes some people not even vote at all... its their choice to vote or not vote...at the end of the day whoever is president no need to be all hurt who wins im still going to live my same life

This coming from the guy who repeatedly told me I don't have the right to post in this thread because I'm a foreigner and that I should go mind my own business. And continuously questioning my involvement in my own country because I happen to post in this thread a lot. Then when I explained that I'm chronically ill and as a result have an abundance of spare time to do both, you took a jab at my illness. Or does that not qualify as nonsense?
Even Ninja and Rico have at least shown some respect for my situation after explaining it to them, you didn't. And by the way, I'll gladly forward you a copy of my disability certificate the social security agency has granted me this month if you still have any doubts.

yes, that picture is exactly what Trump was threatening to do if he didn't win.
I'm flattered you're digging up my posts when this thread is getting hundreds of posts per hour.

Except the swing states were won by literally tiny margins. Not to mention like I said earlier elections are much more than just who's president. So maybe you won't be just living your life because some local measure could have passed that will hurt you or benefit you

I think a lot of Trump support was also a result/over correction of the extreme political correctness that has prevailed in recent years.
From Bruce Jenner winning the espy athlete of the year to there being 20+ new gender pro nouns, I think that made Trumps alledged "tell it like it is" mantra seem very appealing and that he in effect would blow PC up entirely
