Nobody really knows yet. I think it's one part shy Trumpers, one part wishful thinking on the part of news outlets. Nobody wanted to be the morons that forecasted a Trump victory when everyone else gave it to Clinton in a landslide.

Democracy™

.06% of the population

The presidency is a elected via a republic. Congress is elected democratically, and the overwhelming democratic vote was for a Republican government for the next two years.

For real though, we owe it to each other as fellow Americans to show respect, maturity, and support for each other. I'd imagine very few people are actually happy about this, and the fact that Republicans felt so cornered that they allowed this to happen at all says a lot about the division in the country, and many people here are part of the problem.

just cut off northern VA and glue it to DC

Or just include it in Virginia. DC statehood would basically just shrink the size of DC and make the surrounding area a state anyway.

The majority of my friends back home are die-hard liberals, and I love the hell out of them and think they've positively influenced my political beliefs significantly, but goddamn I'm not exaggerating when I've seen more than a dozen statuses that mention crying, being terrified, and scared for POCs, LGBT folks, and muslims. Clinton's proposed economic policies would have been a nightmare for the all classes, and her foreign policy was shit.

Take a fucking chill pill and have some grace and dignity.

Don't like this or Verb will be sad.

The law states it's for a completed ballot, which isn't what's shown. What a ridiculous law, anyway.

Oh my god, tomorrow's South Park episode is going to be incredible.

I was thinking about that earlier.

Do you think they made 2 episodes for each result?

Maybe, especially since they didn't air one last week. I'd love to see both.

Here's a fun prospect: My oldest Internet friend (10+ years) could get fucking deported because he identifies as a Muslim.

To be fair, he hasn't said anything about deporting citizens, just halting immigration from countries affected by radicalism.

There’s been a lot of talk about Clinton trailing in Michigan and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania may be a far bigger problem. Clinton is up by just 4 percentage points, and that lead is slipping as more of the vote comes in from outside the Philadelphia media market. Clinton cannot lose Pennsylvania and win the election.

Pennsylvania is currently predicted at 64% Trump

I think it's time to start swallowing this pill

Hey Dems, the good news is that Republicans will be completely toxic for the next four years. Have fun sweeping in 2020.

538 flipped again.

Right now, Trump leads in both Michigan and Wisconsin. If those hold, I don’t really see a path for Clinton to win. If, however, Clinton wins those two states, she’ll be on track to win. If she loses one of them, she still has a path that includes Arizona, where the race is tight. Even if she does win either Michigan or Wisconsin, though, Trump is the favorite.

Also from 538

Looking at the map of Wisconsin, Clinton is in big trouble. Much of the vote from Milwaukee is in, and Clinton is still down by nearly 3 percentage points statewide. If Trump wins here, Clinton is in big trouble nationally.

Lord, come with fire

Maybe they're doing it for both candidates, but I wanted to know if there's a specific reason they do this. New Jersey is a current example.

What do you mean by New Jersey?

So realtalk, what's with places like Google and CNN reporting Clinton as leading in states where she has a lower percentage? Maybe they're doing it for both candidates, but I wanted to know if there's a specific reason they do this. New Jersey is a current example.

Stuff like this should be on here more often. Yeah, I'm a constant skeptic but that's what science is. If this device actually worked, it would arguably be the most significant scientific discovery since nuclear fission was discovered. It essentially allows the output of more energy than is put in -- ostensibly it could create an infinite supply of energy.

But, it's also important to realize that Eagleworks is a fringe science lab with a shitty reputation, and this isn't really being worked on by NASA.

Supposedly it's being considered to retrofit these guns to use standard 5" rounds, which is hilarious. Might as well just bomb targets with an F-18 instead.
