This is heartbreaking.

level of sadness i feel right now is unreal

Jesus, how is Hillary going to feel losing to Trump? Fuck man, that's some suicide watch shit right there.

[Cail]

The most accurate of feelings:

I was under the belief that Australia is a fairly conservative country with strict immigration policy(point system) If it's anything like NZ then it's a bitch and a half to get in.

So much this. And how do you think his supporters are going to feel when he doesn't build that damn wall (and make Mexico pay for it)?

He never said he was going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. And his supporters will back him up that it is a liberal media lie to make him look bad.

If Hillary does pull out the win, then you got Trump not accepting the results of the vote too, don't you?

[Dantrag]

Fucking knew that Democrats should have had more people run instead of tossing it to Clinton since it was "her turn".

I would hate to be Obama right now having to fucking hand the reigns over to fucking Trump.

[kisada]

just want to point out that if the math comes up virtually tied those two electors might send their protest votes to trump in the end

I feel pretty sick to my stomach at the moment. I know a person who is a big trump supporter due to his stance on illegals and he uses her to push his agendas. Going to be interesting to see how their relationship will be post election...my guess is he mysteriously won't have time for her or even follow up on his promises he made to her.

[vagus]

Pft. Fuck Ghana. I got a mission to Sydney, Australia that sounds crazy tempting right now.

Spiders! Giant ones.

Sorry America. Old white American is back. I didn't fathom this would actually happen.

[Niiro]

The reality is sinking in. The math is unavoidable. A reality TV star who tweets memes is going to become leader of the western world and in charge of our nuclear arsenal. The meme has gone too far. I didn't think he'd actually win. I just love shitposting. I take it all back.

We forgive you, now we can all lock arms and walk off that cliff together.

This is might night until 630 am est. I'm like one of 4 here hoping for Clinton.

FL is pretty much done, right, like there's no real chance there?

5 more states about to close polls

How would you feel being gary johnson right now? this would be another good time to fake a heart attack or stroke

[Soa]

i think the probabilities with Trump at 80%-90% are right. Michigan and Wisconsin are breaking her firewall and she picked nothing up and she's the dog in both.

Michigan is actually starting to look better for her, but it sure seems like she is fucked in Wisconsin.

[Yuri-G]

IDK, am I really the only one who isn't all that worried? Don't get me wrong, my emotional brain is doing the crazy worry anxiety nutso thing. But my rational brain is like "Did you really think the problems that gave rise to Trump would go away if Hillary won? And do you really think he's going to do that much damage in four years?"


I mean yeah, this could be a fairly dark period in our country's history, but unless you're a terminal cancer patient I wouldn't worry too much about that.


IDK. Worst that can happen is I eat my words, and if that's the case then it was going to happen anyway. I'm trying to be zen about this because if I don't, I'll lose my shit something hardcore :3

Seems that way even when you project the future percentages, she still comes up short...
