Austria chose the moderate instead of the far-right neofascist. Today is a happy day. Some hope in humanity restored. Posted over a year ago

I am disturbed by the fact that I used to be a very, in my mind, moderate liberal. This election has radicalized me in ways I am not quite comfortable with, but it's a radicalization that I think is necessary. I've been too accommodating of the feelings of people with privilege.

Hope Trump actually does deport 11 million people and raise prices on Chinese goods by 40% so Trump supporters learn some economics :))) Posted over a year ago

I'd be screaming on here a lot more, but thinking about politics is legitimately ruining my holidays. Also I think I'm still in the first stage of grief: denial. Posted over a year ago

Okay, woah. This is not the end of the USA. We have survived terrible presidents before. The actions of a few hateful people do not represent every Trump voter. We need to keep fanpop, and especially this spot, a friendly place. Attacking anyone who might disagree with you is not the way to bring about discussion or change. Chill. Posted over a year ago

To everyone cheering a Drumpf win: how does it feel to be so privileged? Hmm? Must be nice to not have parents who are going to lose healthcare once Obamacare is repealed. Must be nice to not have to live in constant fear for your safety because you're a certain skin color. Must be nice not have to worry about your basic human rights being taken away. Must be nice to be a sociopath with zero empathy for anyone who looks different than you :) Posted over a year ago

It's Remembrance Day in commonwealth nations and I'd like to remind people that's not just poppies and parades. It's about learning from history, respecting what they fought for, and endeavouring never again to make those mistakes. Yet look around- rampant nationalism, electing a bigoted authoritarian, advocating exclusion of entire ethno-religious groups. Are people so ignorant? We tried this out and it didn't work. Tolerance, egalitarianism, and universal human rights are what make us great. Posted over a year ago

Someday America will have female presidents. But we should thank God every day that Hillary Clinton won't be the first. We really dodged a bullet on Tuesday.

Donald Trump hasn't been a reliable conservative all his life. I voted for him (I only vote Republican), but I've often had mixed feelings about him. But as the man who beat Crooked Hillary in the biggest presidential election upset since "Dewey Defeats Truman," he at least deserves a clean slate . . . Posted over a year ago

Well, the whitelash against POC has already begun, with Muslims and black people and Latinos getting harassed and verbally attacked in public by whites. I would like to personally thank every Trumpzi on here who voted for him and set progress back 100 years, sent the message to young children that bullying is okay, told little girls they don't matter, helped the global economy tank, and are in favor of irrevocably ruining the environment. May you all rot. Posted over a year ago

Listening to a livestream of Obama speaking. What a wonderfully intelligent and humble man. Just doing it off the cuff yet making managing to make every word meaningful and provide an inspiring, hopeful message to not lose hope in the future. An complete contrast to what we have coming. I hate to think how devastated he is that the things he has absolutely poured his life into will be potentially undone by someone like Trump. Posted over a year ago

I supported Ted Cruz in the Republican primary. He would have made a great president, and hopefully will someday. I don't consider Donald Trump to be a real conservative, but he is the only viable option to stop Hillary Clinton. I submitted my absentee ballot with a vote for Trump on October 24.

When people end their comments with "HILLARY4PRISON!!!!", I pretty much assume they have an IQ below 70. I think it's fair enough. Posted over a year ago

Anyone vote yet? :D

Friendly reminder that even if you hate every single presidential candidate and refuse to vote for any of them, you should still go out and vote for local office positions! Local politics matter! Posted over a year ago

Trump fans: THE ELECTION IS RIGGED AGAINST TRUMP!!!
Everyone else: There's no evidence of that.
Trump fans: I JUST KNOW IT OKAY. I DON'T NEED EVIDENCE. EVIDENCE ISN'T NECESSARY.

Also Trump fans: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TRUMP SEXUALLY ASSAULTED MULTIPLE WOMEN. THEY'RE LYING. SHOW ME EVIDENCE. EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY. Posted over a year ago

Clinton and Trump don't have equal footing in the debate tonight. Clinton must weigh every word carefully, not interrupt or talk over him too much lest she be seen as "pushy", not make any sort of gaffe as it will be broadcast far and wide. Meanwhile, there are such low expectations for Trump that if he manages to speak in vaguely coherent sentences and not deliver a misogynist insult to Clinton’s face, his advocates will declare that he looked “presidential” and anoint him the winner.

Elections have consequences. If America had been smart enough to elect Mitt Romney in 2012, not only would we be rid of Obama sooner but Romney would be running for re-election right now instead of this Trump vs. Clinton race. If you voted for Obama in 2012, you own a share of the blame for the choices we have in 2016. Posted over a year ago
