FROM CANADA: And the winner is.....
NOBODY!!!!
That was an incredibly nerve racking US election. I am not even American and I was fully invested. Obviously, today was "grief" day...where everyone had a whole day for it all to sink in. Gobsmacked is an understatement...the most maddening part is HRC won the most votes....yet still lost due to that electoral college BS. Canada has a similar set up currently, the person with the most votes does not necessarily become Prime Minister - voter reform in the works hopefully if the federal Liberals keep that election promise. The thing that really gets me is the vote splitting...
Vote splitting is an electoral effect in which the distribution of votes among multiple similar candidates reduces the chance of winning for any of the similar candidates, and increases the chance of winning for a dissimilar candidate.
All these people who just could not make themselves vote for HRC and voted for the ghost candidates, voting their conscience...oh go fuck yourself. Are you fucking seriously telling me that THIS outcome is better than HRC? You basically paved the way for Mr Cheeto to waltz into the White House with his idiot plagiarizing wife on his arm and nuke codes in his pocket. MORONIC.
Even if you thought HRC was an elitist, greedy cretin - how is Mr Cheeto not those things also? He is not a regular guy...he is a crass, loud mouth, attention whore who says outlandish stuff for attention and laughs...all under the guise of being a regular guy...and a bunch of dipshit hillybilly, racist, misogynist Americans fell under his spell. You like what he stands for? Well that says a lot about you...shameful. You think he gives a shit about any of you? You are about to find out.
No political experience. No public service experience. All greed and deception. A breeder of fear and hate. The guy mixing the Kool-Aid for all the assholes of America who stood there with their glasses out. What a dreadful culture.
You know, I knew it was going to be bad last night...not just for Americans but for the world...and as neighbors to the US it is pretty close to home but it was not until I got a text from a friend in Maine asking if I would take her son in if the draft was brought back to life that it really sunk in how bad things could really get. Mr Cheeto could potentially toss the US back into the 50's...his racist rhetoric, his anti-abortion stance, his blatant misogyny, hate mongering and childish ideas about war...JFC...is this even real?
It is sickening...and I feel so bad for my thinking American friends and family who are stuck with this clown for 4 years...and a republican house and senate...dark times.
