As opposed to the totally not rich, elite billionaire. Jesus Christ can Americans be stupid.

It's clear you understand very little about systemic racism that has been going on for centuries. Even though segregation isn't an official thing in America, segregation still exists based on income and it can affect your entire future.



This is just one example I can mention. Let's not even get into a difference in police policies, drug laws aimed at targeting minority populations, or countless other factors that keep minorities down in America, even if it's unintentional.

This election is breaking because of the lack of union support for democrats in rust belt states.

Yes, and Trump made his money off of cheating the poor out of their money as well. It's kind of like voting for the enemy they know instead of the back door swindling that they don't. (?) I'm paraphrasing.

Safe to say that all of us thought the possibility of a Trump win was unfathomable and highly unlikely. I'm beyond shocked at what we're seeing. It's looking like he's gonna win all of the major swing states, which I figured was impossible. I'm in absolute disbelief right now.

Rene Bourque scored a goal tonight.

Suddenly, everything makes perfect sense.
