Yes, let's chuckle at people being highly stressed at the idea of an America they are not at all familiar with.

Not cool.

[Samm]

congrats america a win for racism, homophobe, sexism etc. I can't wait for the country to split apart in the coming months.

Anybody that supports this man and his values is equally as disgusting and vile as he is, (most) of the older generation (same with brexit) have decided on a future path which is horrible and now for the younger generation we will have to suffer.

Y'all were warned not to underestimate the disenfranchised and to stop lauding a terrible candidate just because she's a woman. This isn't Big Brother :idc:

PRESIDENT TRUMP
Ian Dale said we must get used to saying it (LBC Live)

[Maru]

He isn't even republican, he's an insult to their cause

Trump actually was democrat and an avid Clinton support in NY... he is only riding the Republican base because they're really easy to troll apparently

[Mokka]

To think we could have witnessed history with the first female president (which is never going to happen btw) instead they elected the same old white Republican

I wouldn't call him the same old whte rebublican..
He is much much worse than any we have seen before.... the old white rebublicans dont even back him

[Amy Jade]

I'll never call it president.

[Jack_]

The first female president will happen, but only when:

A) the left (and centrists in general, to be honest) have picked themselves up and put together a coherent message that resonates with the same disenfranchised who are being enthused by far right populism

B) when a better female candidate runs

C) western politics becomes more progressive, which will happen generationally (as it has throughout recent history)

[arista]

I'll wake up to a new law in the US that men can sexually abuse women won't I? :worry:

Guys, you realize in a democracy, sometimes the results will not go with the mainstream popular vote right?

[Brother Leon]

Can we please not make this a gender thing? Hilary is a terribly unpopular candidate and she has largely bought that on herself. There was always this possibility of happening from when she got the nomination over Bernie. Donald freakin' Trump. How unlikable must you be...

...I found it really cringy last night watching some females being interviewed about their voting and how excited and emotional they were with the thought of the first female president...it should never be about gender, it should only be about the right person who they believed was most deserving of their vote...a vote for a female president for that reason alone is the same as an anti-establishment vote for no other reason than it's anti.../regardless of the low merits of that person...

[arista]

Morning Ammi


Welcome to 24x7 HD

[Maru]

I don't think it's even just Hillary (though she is a terrible candidate!). I think the liberalism is highly visible in our culture (particularly media) and it's been accepted as the eventual fate (read: shoved down our throats) for so many years... people took it for granted that it was going to just keep going that way, either for or against their wishes... that heavily influenced polling and that clearly affected turn out.

I really don't even think most people realize what they're even voting for... their reasons for supporting either of these idiots are very simplistic. If you ask them what is going on down-ballot, they don't know... I always ask. Very few know their names. This result will is a symptom of that problem.

Don't fool yourselves into thinking that Hillary voters are more intelligent than Trump voters... they're not. They all helped to make this election so negative instead of finding a core message we could all agree on, which AIDED to shift the pendulum to him... anyway, the blame should be shared across the board in my opinion... media, pundits, voters, platforms, political interest, medical, police, everyone has had their hand in influencing change... and they sat by and let both of these get to the top of the ticket.

[Jack_]

I don't think you guys are getting the same news I am getting... it isn't the old rich white man voting Trump....it is the poor, uneducated, working class broken lower than middke class that made this machine run. The rich white folk have been flocking from him for weeks

Correct.

The terms 'racist' and 'sexist' will be thrown around in the days, weeks and months following this result (much like they were post-Brexit) but it's reductionist nonsense that solves nothing. You cannot begin to prevent things like this from happening without first understanding why they do.

Right wing anti-establishment populism is on the rise across the west precisely because of the failings capitalism and globalisation have had on the lives of working class communities that have been left behind and not listened to. It is essential that the left puts together a coherent alternative that addresses people's very real concerns with the actual answers.

It will not be easy, it will not happen overnight, but it won't happen while we stick our fingers in our ears and chastise swathes of disenfranchised people.

Iowa for Trump........ 238

No No NO

all that UPDATED now


Trump went to a Gay event rally

[Pete.]

Shocked that people are discounting the factor of gender in this campaign when it's clear that a lot of backwards Americans will see that Clinton is a female and instantly turn against her/not vote for her. Correct me if that is wrong but that's how I see it. Was she even a terrible candidate too? At least she had policies and a mentality that seemingly worked so well with Obama for 8 years ...

...hmmm, when you have a terrible female candidate though, you can't really factor the female bit, I think it's the terrible bit that's mostly been factored.../that for me was one of the biggest things I didn't like through her campaign, was that she 'called female' and sexism so much, rather than owning why she wasn't liked and listening to that...

For the last part, that's not the consensus among her detractors. Bengazi was a huge red flag for her running our country, from a foreign affairs perspective...(I know, Trump isn't any better)

I don't fully discount her gender being a factor. I think that people are going to be more harsh of a female candidate, whether ingrained or not... I personally haven't heard anything about her gender here... just that she's not palatable. That's arguably gender-based.

I think that so many negative labels got attached to her... it's been happening for years. We knew she would run for president when she took the senate. People didn't like her then either, but we were prepared for her run.... she's had every negative label thrown at her, for a longer period much longer than Trump... she's never been the people's princess or anything.

I guess because people assumed Trump had all these negative headlines, that it would somehow be worse for Trump... not necessarily. Hillary has been in our consciousness longer and her wounds are deepened by the fact she is very much a part of the establishment.

Praying for America and all Ethnic minorities, women and member of the LGBT community in it because they've got a tough few years coming now

But well done white men :/

Must be even worse to loose to a man who's not even a political figure

[jaxie]

is this what Brexit felt like? I don't understand British politics at all but I know that result was similarly harrowing

No after 40 years of stolen democracy Brexit felt pretty damn amazing. Exciting, optimistic, freedom.

And of all the people to lose it to, Donald trump.

I see your true colours shining through

No it didn't. It was bloody awful.

[Jack_]

100%. The feeling I have now is kinda the same I had on the day post-Brexit, except with this I can step back and go 'well, at least it's not actually my country!' (even though US politics affects us anyway)

But yeah, that disheartened, saddening, disgusted, dejected feeling you have right now is exactly what Brexit felt like.

[arista]

LGBT community
is part of Trump rally

He went to meet them
FACT

[BBfanUSA]

A few people may say I'm being way too hopeful but The whole anti establishment storyline will continue.

If Markets continue to plummet worldwide like they are right now, Trump will have a hard time getting anything done, even with a republican controlled DC.

Trump is terrifying because he's normalized mysogeny, racism, etc. but he's about to find out that running the country (even if hands half the duties over to VP Pence) is harder than you think

[jaxie]

It's really off to blame one element of the community for a result you don't like. Trump had a lot of African American and Latino support.

[reece(:]

Guess we can just hope for an assassination now :worry:

That would make Pence president which is even worse:bawling:

[arista]

Please Stay Up to date
you lot

Stop going backwards

It's a larger scale brexit

[Benjamin]

Please Stay Up to date
you lot

Stop going backwards

We're not but at the moment it feels like the USA is.

[JerseyWins]

Wow this is crazy. How did Trump realistically get these votes? It's bizarre.

I'm not mad because I was already mad it was down to these two candidates to begin with and don't care but.. when I think about it, man is this bad news for the US... It's kinda like a joke. I feel as if Trump isn't even qualified. :joker:

[arista]

"Trump is terrifying"


I understand you
but its a New Better America soon

[Beso]

..thing is though Parmy, I think at the most negative times which many countries are feeling atm, a politician is exactly what's needed... it's just that Hilary wasn't that politician and never would have been either.../their personalities aside, neither of them would be a 'best thing' for the country and for the job.../it's just all that America was given to choose between...so there was never going to be a win, no matter who got the job...

At leaat let him get his arse in the seat first before knocking him...for me i think he will unite the world cause he will be liked by the loony leaders of the world...its also good for the uk as he has said we will be on top of the pile..plus imagine having to listen to clintons voixe droning on and on for 4 yrs...now thats a result!

There are always going to be shackles regardless of whether we are in or out. But it was a bad decision to leave when we did, we were and are still not ready.

[Maru]

Yeah, I'm no raving fan but it's gotta suck to spend your life devoted to politics, see your husband serve two terms as president, dream that you may finally get the opportunity - and then lose it all

She's probably in shock I would imagine... :(

[Brillopad]

I see this as an American vote of support for Brexit. No doubt the interference in the result of a pubic vote from Ms Miller only added fuel to the fire and to the general feelings of discontent. Two fingers up to the establishment - the people have a voice.

Like it or not this is about peoples' concerns over immigration - and will not go away.

This can only make Brexit stronger in my opinion.

[arista]

We're not but at the moment it feels like the USA is.


No its a Great Day in USA

[lewis111]

It's really off to blame one element of the community for a result you don't like. Trump had a lot of African American and Latino support.

63% of white men voted Trump
63% of Latino men vote Clinton

It was white men (and white women tbf) who completely decided this election

80% of black men voted for Clinton

[Benjamin]

No its a Great Day in USA

Is it? I fail to see why.

[arista]

"vote from Ms Miller only added fuel to the fire"


She was not on USA TV much

[Maru]

Is it? I fail to see why.

He doesn't even live here :laugh:

[Jack_]

Well I'm already looking forward to my lecture next week, my lecturer was talking about Trump today so he'll definitely have a lot to say next time :joker:

[Mokka]

Is it? I fail to see why.

Don't waste you time Ben... it's like trying to talk to Trump himself

[Jack_]

Oh how I'd love to be a fly on the wall in classrooms and offices in the UK today, discussing what the **** is actually going on

[Maru]

Well I'm already looking forward to my lecture next week, my lecturer was talking about Trump today so he'll definitely have a lot to say next time :joker:

I'm looking forward to jury service tomorrow and the judge asking me.... "So who did you vote for?" :laugh:

[arista]

"Drain The Swamp"

[Mokka]

I'm looking forward to jury service tomorrow and the judge asking me.... "So who did you vote for?" :laugh:

Can they legally ask that question ???

[Maru]

Also Saturday talking to the union after we just lost our sheriff who was actually fixing crap...

[Maru]

Can they legally ask that question ???

I was being sarcastic. :laugh: They're going to ask me about my biases though...

[reece(:]

Melania Trump steps into Michelle Obama's shoes... what an absolute joke

[jaxie]

63% of white men voted Trump
63% of Latino men vote Clinton

It was white men (and white women tbf) who completely decided this election

80% of black men voted for Clinton

Women of all ethnicities have a vote, how do you know those statistics were accurate?

For every 63% There are 37% voting for someone else.

[Maru]

Melania Trump steps into Michelle Obama's shoes... what an absolute joke

She's going to have really work on her speech skills now :laugh:

Living in Michelle Obama and Trump accusers shadows for the next four years.

[Mokka]

Ah....sorry, it's late....and all my humour is gone tonight

[Beso]

Lol at the canadian immigration page has crashed due to heavy traffic.

[Benjamin]

I hope USA's next election learns a lot from this one.

[Maru]

Ah....sorry, it's late....and all my humour is gone tonight

Understandable

[Ammi]

Oh how I'd love to be a fly on the wall in classrooms and offices in the UK today, discussing what the **** is actually going on

...yeah we wouldn't have had that with a Hilary win../drawing positives etc...Trump setting the national curriculum which I do think will create an engagement of passion and interest whichever way opinion students have.../and that engagement and passion of interest is never a bad thing...

[Mokka]

Lol at the canadian immigration page has crashed due to heavy traffic.

Maybe I should start looking into an American Mail order husband :think:

(Humour is back :hehe: )

[Brother Leon]

Ahh well..Hopefully Elizabeth Warren runs for 2020 and we potentially get a worthy first Female President.

[Benjamin]

Urgh my internet is slow. Who is left to give results other than Alaska?

[Maru]

OMG, like that trump supporter dating website... you're going to be stalking the hillaryclinton one when it inevitably comes up looking for some quick dick/$$$

You can lure them in with the promise of actual universal healthcare

[Maru]

Ahh well..Hopefully Elizabeth Warren runs for 2020 and we potentially get a worthy first Female President.

Hillary Clinton 2.0. No. She fixed the primary for Hillary against Bernie. Remember the leaked emails?

[Mokka]

OMG, like that trump supporter dating website... you're going to be stalking the hillaryclinton one when it inevitably comes up looking for some quick dick/$$$

Hey baby...let me show you my....universal healthcare package :creep:

I may be on to something :laugh:

Looking forward to your multiple threads... "should I swipe right?" (or whatever direction it is)

[Brother Leon]

PA gone to Trump. Should be that.

[Headie]

Very disheartening

[Maru]

PA hasn't been called yet? Alaska went to him I think

[Ammi]

Ahh well..Hopefully Elizabeth Warren runs for 2020 and we potentially get a worthy first Female President.

..an election which should be of such note and hope/enthusiasm etc and 4 years of looking at who the next president can be being what pre-occupies...that's pretty funny...

[lewis111]

I guess nothing will be changed about the gun laws in America anytime soon then

[Brother Leon]

PA hasn't been called yet? Alaska went to him I think

AP and Guardian have called it. Not official, but they have been ahead of the curve all night so far.

[Ammi]

..politics was never meant to be funny though...oh...

[Mokka]

Looking forward to your multiple threads... "should I swipe right?" (or whatever direction it is)

Definitely swiping left....given the context of who sits on the right wing

[Maru]

I just want them to call it so I can hear the speeches and get ready for bed

[Maru]

Definitely swiping left....given the context of who sits on the right wing

:joker:

[lewis111]

This is much worse than Brexit though cause its biggest impact was on the economy
As a Brit I'm so much more worried and shaken by this result than I was Brexit

[Mokka]

I just want them to call it so I can hear the speeches and get ready for bed

Same...just brushed my teeth given them saying Hilary was on the way to make a speech

[Ammi]

I guess nothing will be changed about the gun laws in America anytime soon then

..make sure you have your peanut butter jelly, cereal bar and hand gun packed for school today sweetie.../but mom, can we do a banana as well and think about healthiness a bit more...

[Maru]

Oh! Looks like dem might have senate... +1 but still

[Jack_]

BBC analysts saying it's looking likely Clinton will win the popular vote, which is a shame but moreso because inevitably the terms of the debate will now be shifted from an analysis of the underlying structural and societal issues that caused this, to 'the voting system is to blame!'

Oh here it goes

[Mokka]

Clinton Campaign Chairman... it ain't over yet ....omg

[Ammi]

..has the fat lady sung Maru..?..

[Maru]

..has the fat lady sung Maru..?..

Not yet. Hillary's people still waiting for more counts... they just came on to tell us we can wait a little longer :laugh:

[Maru]

Whoa, Clinton won't speak tonight

[Jack_]

Well well well

Hillary to play Trump at his own game and call it a rig? :fan:

[Ammi]

Not yet. Hillary's people still waiting for more counts... they just came on to tell us we can wait a little longer :laugh:

..can the counts still count though now..?..

[Mokka]

Whoa, Clinton won't speak tonight

Nope. Now what is Trump's chess move :suspect:

[Maru]

..can the counts still count though now..?..

He's technically not at 270 yet

[Ammi]

Well well well

Hillary to play Trump at his own game and call it a rig? :fan:

...:fan:...she needs to call it quickly before he sends her off to jail and no get out free gameplay for her...

[Brother Leon]

Hilton camp sending everyone home. No concession and no speech tonight. Poor stuff.

[Ammi]

He's technically not at 270 yet

...yeah but similar to our elections I would reckon.../you kind of know when it's over and hopeless if you're a candidate and if she's already calling 'rigged' the lady knows that she's already left the stage...

[Mokka]

Republicans hold the Senate :facepalm:

[Maru]

Could be a personal reason, which who can blame her... after this campaign

[Maru]

...yeah but similar to our elections I would reckon.../you kind of know when it's over and hopeless if you're a candidate and if she's already calling 'rigged' the lady knows that she's already left the stage...

Yeah the stations are not making it official yet, but they're pretty much saying it's over... it's on to her to concede though

[Ammi]

Hilton camp sending everyone home. No concession and no speech tonight. Poor stuff.

..I agree to an extent Leon but the whole thing has been poor stuff so I don't think we can apply any usual courtesies here...

[Mokka]

Could be a personal reason, which who can blame her... after this campaign

She won't be the first to not conceed on the night... and neither should she yet. He doesn't have the numbers yet... and there are plenty of recounts to take place. I don't think any of that will end in her win...but give everyone a chance to breathe and let the reality sink in imo

[Mokka]

Hindsight being 20 20.... i would have made a drinking game out of the word Brexit tonight :laugh:

[Ammi]

Could be a personal reason, which who can blame her... after this campaign

..yeah, her personal reasons being that she pulled in all of the establishment and political experience she could find and had which was substantial... and she still lost to an intolerant 'trash TV' person.../a personal embarrassment I would say...

[arista]

Clinton
gone home
will go to the press in few hours
OK Lady
mind how you go .

[arista]

AMMI

Its like our Brexit

Same Voting style

[Brother Leon]

..I agree to an extent Leon but the whole thing has been poor stuff so I don't think we can apply any usual courtesies here...

Well yeah, but considering she mocked him so much for his refusal to accept defeat, she is essentially doing the same thing. At least give that quick speech yourself to your supporters and tell them there will be more tomorrow. I'm just glad this is over anyway.

[Northern Monkey]

I bet she's been arrested for throwing the TV out of her hotel room window.She has a deadly temper on her

[UserSince2005]

Woke up to the best news ever. Knew I would. Dream come true.

[Maru]

I tend to think it as much a personal decision to concede as much as a patriotic design... some people just want to put it behind them. Other wants to take a step back and wait til morning for the full results. I imagine she doesn't want to rush it at 2AM (I just realized the time because my time settings were messed up :laugh: Thanks Windows). Maybe she wants to rewrite her speech. Maybe she wants to contest. All these possibilities are entirely plausible. But it'll give her time to decide what she wants to do while her people go through the results county by county...

[Northern Monkey]

She will blame Russia.
She'll run into the Whitehouse and smash the nuke button

[Ammi]

Well yeah, but considering she mocked him so much for his refusal to accept defeat, she is essentially doing the same thing. At least give that quick speech yourself to your supporters and tell them there will be more tomorrow. I'm just glad this is over anyway.

..I honestly think with either of them, their supporters are less important to them in this than their own personal egos, just both really shabby people.../but yeah, phew it's over is all and hopefully we won't see so much of either in our media now...

[Crimson Dynamo]

Goodness gracious me
