Bay 12 Games Forum

Just recently applied for a BPO job. While it might be a dead end job, that's still all well and good, because profit anyway. The sad is when Trump imposes tariffs on companies, probably likely BPOs, to 'End the Offshoring'.

With that to consider, it's really, scarily possible that my career in the BPO industry won't last more than six months.

If you really thought it would be a dead end job then it probably wasn't going to be a stable, long lasting career anyway.

Or maybe just give each state one point each, make them ALL equal, right?

That's pretty much the reasoning why each state gets two senators. And the house representative numbers are based on population in order to get a balance of power between equal representation and proportional representation in the legislative branch.

"Clinton wasn't a suitable candidate" > It's the best that ever existed

I can't believe there's people on this forum that actually think Clinton was the best candidate for Dems. Before the primaries were over it seemed Bay12 pol threads were for Bernie and hated Hilldawg.

Gotta love things like this:

"I got over 200,000 fewer votes than my opponent yet I still win!"

Democracy.

My understanding of the electoral college is that the system is supposed to keep all states or regions with roughly similar influence in the presidential election outcomes. If it was purely popular vote all a candidate would probably ever care about or campaign in would be the urban population centers of the nation, and not care about rural or small towns at all.

The presidency...
The senate...
The house...

I don't understand.

What the fuck. What the actual fuck.

It's a movement. I guess it's a yuge movement.

Maybe if things are that bad in two years people will have enough incentive to vote for whatever non-republican senators/representatives are available and change the balance of power in congress to either reduce the influence of POTUS and courts on policies, or impeach Trump or something.

I'm still hopeful this is just overreaction and things won't actually get as bad as everyone is (loudly) saying. _{^{Going to sleep now.}}

It's done? Thank fuck, now everyone can finally shut the fuck up about this goddamn election and talk about something else. Let Trump fade out of the public eye just like Obama did after he got elected in '08.

I mean sure it sucks ass that America still retains enough of a well of hatred to want to elect the guy purely for the sake of electing an outsider from the apparent viper's nest that Washington became in the last 10 years, but now everyone can actually go back to worrying about their own lives and not feeding into a gigantic reality tv-style media shitstorm 24/7/365. If the North American continent ends up being consumed in atomic hellfire, well, that's Dump's problem now.

Yeezus fuckity.

The great political shitstorm of our time has probably just begun.

Well, odds are that you'll die of leukemia. I've seen that, it's not pretty. But hey, if you're into that sort of thing...

I dunno, I think I live close enough to possible targets in a theoretical nuclear war scenario that I'd die in the blast.

apparently not

He hasn't even been sworn in yet. I'm trying to be relatively positive about the future for once, Jesus Christ a lot of you sound like you're about to jump in front of a train. I really think you guys are overreacting way too early. There's no telling how effective Trump would actually be after he's spent months campaigning that the whole government is corrupt. Now he has to work with that corrupt government he's been painting as the enemy if he actually wants to do shit.

Trump has made concrete policy plans though. I've seen Trump supporters sharing them. Look up his Contract with the American Voter. But they don't even get mentioned here.

Maybe the cultural divide between democrats and republicans is more serious than we thought. It seems like this election happened in two separate realities.

Are we in the Berenstein universe or Berenstain universe?

Well, probably more peaceful with a Trump victory than if his supporters felt the election was "stolen" by Clinton, right?

I bet there's gonna be at least one riot in some democrat-packed city somewhere in America in the next couple days.
