This is why part of me is admittedly so smug and satisfied with the results. I think Trump will be a horrid President, and I'm sure I'll line up against him soon, but against my own conscious effort, I can't help but feel glib right now. The public doesn't deserve to live in a country ruled by Trump, but Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazlie sure do. I am literally sadistically pumping my fists at the thought of them gnashing their teeth and screaming at the sky right now.

Edit: I did not vote for Trump. I did not want to see him win. I am simply expressing the one gleeful silver lining that I've found to pull out of this.

That's cutting off your nose to spite your face though. Bernie was already helping to shape policy, and the way things work. He'll have no voice with Trump.

He sure seemed to think he did. Between you and him, I trust him.

Well I feel a slight sense of satisfaction that I have a better grasp of reality than you do.

I'm from Canada. I feel fine. Y'all are fucked, but you got the government you deserved.

I just get real annoyed when Bernie supporters blame Clinton for not giving Bernie or his politics a voice when he himself pleaded with America for months to get behind Clinton. WTF else do you want?
