Anyone been watching South Park's take on this election? I'm not sure which version is real any more, that's how scarily accurate their serialisation of it has been!

Sanity has to prevail. #PrayForHillary

If Trump wins then the world truly has gone to shit. It baffles me there are still undecided voters. Unless you're a sexist, homophobic racist who enjoys mocking the disabled, there's only one choice here.

If sanity prevailed, then neither of them would be on the ballot anyway!

That was amazing and then cruising in the local bar.

OMG now she's asking non-US residents how they've voted.

Hillary can still do it without Florida. On one of those predictor things I had her in the 330s. Georgia is normally a Republican go to, but with the demographic changes over the last couple of decades, it's too close to call for the first time in ages. I'm still hopeful Hillary can do this, the path is harder for Trump.

NYTimes now predicting that there is a 59% chance Trump will win. They had him at 28% when the evening started.

edit: Now they've amended to 73% of a Trump win.

Confirmed that Trump has won Ohio. The Mexican Peso has fallen to a record low against the USD. Trump now has a 87% chance of winning according to NYTimes.

Currently predicted that Clinton will win the popular vote, though. Not that that helped Gore!

Puts Brexit in perspective don't it?

Hardly surprising that the Canadian immigration website has crashed

How bad a candidate was Hillary that she couldn't overcome the hatred of the unstable shitstorm that is Trump

Decades of progress and equality down the drain overnight. The Republicans are dangerous looney tunes anyway, but now they've got a mouthpiece for hate speech combined with control of the Supreme Court. I dread to think what's going to happen now, will they try to overturn marriage equality?

There are still the elections in France and Germany yet. It's getting Cold War scary again.

Do you remember back in May when we thought that Greta's non-qualifification was the worst thing that could happen this year?

Hillary was connecting with young people, women and ethnic minorites, pulling out big names like Beyoncé & Katy Perry and that still wasn't enough for her to take it. People just didn't like her. How people could like a racist, abusive, wig-wearing, oompa loompa like Trump either is beyond me. Utter shambles.

Hillary wasn't connecting with young people. In fact, the exit poll showed more young people found her more untrustworthy than Trump (and indeed, more people overall). Although it did seem that more young people were able to swallow the bitter pill and vote for Hillary in an attempt to keep Trump out.

Hillary hasn't really been all that popular for years. The issue is that the Democrats were too worried about trying to make history by putting forward a substandard candidate based on her gender. I still think that O'Malley was the best option, but Bernie would have been great too.

Well on the bright side...this probably means we'll be spared the USA competing in Eurovision for at least the next 4 years

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

For some reason this popped into my head at work today after hearing the news from America...substitute Donald Trump into the last line and it sums it up for me....

So for the fifth time in history the winner of the election did not win the popular vote.
