Actually they do not. They are all affected by each other. The only US markets that didn't dip were the ones that were closed.(Talking about the US, here. International markets follow their own trends, and they were betting heavily on Clinton even after internal polls showed a lead for Trump.)

The thing is, Trump got 1.3 million less votes than Romney. Clinton got 6 million less votes than Obama.If you still don't understand why people voted Trump
I'd have to strongly disagree. She'd either deny, keep her mouth shut, and, the worst tactic of all, sprout out incomprehensible word salads when put on the spot. I've lost count of the times I've furrowed by brows while listening to her speak and wondered "are those.... sentences? Valid sentences? Does that parse?" and then go through and study the structure and grammar being used. It was uncomfortably like listening to a Chinese Room at times.is that Clinton's method of dealing with things she didn't want to talk about was simply better than Trump's
The same fucks who talk down to people worried about the fact jobs are evaporating in their little towns are probably the same smug assholes who claimed they didn't "need the votes" of Bernie's people. Look at how that turned out.For the harbingers of political correctness, they can't even respect other people's opinions no matter how retarded those opinions are.
Consider this: in 29 states, truck driving is the number one job and it is one of the few jobs left that can provide a middle class living for high school grads. What will happen to the 1.5 million families who get their daily bread from a truck driver when all of those jobs are eliminated by driverless trucks? It’s not a matter of if but when. Are we going to teach all those drivers to code or retrofit windows or whatever other pathetic nonsense we’ve held up as a solution? This new reality is upon us. The markets are not going to magically fix it.
Don't doubt it. But compared to what was being forecasted just a week before the election, it was nothing. This was the Al Capone's vault of economic crashes.GaijinPunch wrote: It only takes seconds. Plenty of people made a killing yesterday.
Well, I should've been more specific I guess. I was referring to predictive trends, which can be and in the case of this election absolutely were different. Once internal polls showed Trump catching up right before the election, US markets started to adjust accordingly but international markets were late to follow. But even they're back on the uptick. Not bad for a guy who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the US (a position now ominously absent from his website).Actually they do not. They are all affected by each other. The only US markets that didn't dip were the ones that were closed.

Agreed a thousand percent. This is how out of touch the DC bubble really is, Hillary saw how repulsed by Trump the Republican leadership she was having cocktail parties with were and assumed the same sentiment was echoed by their voters. EVEN IN THE FACE OF Republican voters ushering the tea party takeover of the Republican party against the wishes of their leadership. Was she completely sheltered from the pure concentrated hate that had been focused on her by the right for a quarter century?BryanM wrote:If she was just an Iron Lady who crushed the bones of republicans and made them cry, she still could have won as an acknowledged crook. But they kept trying to PR massage her image into something it could never be: everyone's nice grandma that even those republicans like.
It's been like 48 hours, dude! What kind of logistics do you expect out of a spontaneous protest without any leadership? Most of them converged on Trump properties so it's not like the message was unclear!EmperorIng wrote:It's stupid and pointless. "I'm protesting to let everyone know I didn't vote for the guy who won the election in areas that overwhelmingly did not vote for him either!" I mean, aren't there more... productive avenues for activism?
Brexit was more underwhelming (unless you're solely looking at the value of the pound). Anyone forecasting a total crash before seeing a policy is an idiot, and after having been on the tech side of this industry my whole career, I've learned one thing: nobody knows a fucking thing! Forecasters/commentators are useless. The only thing people can somewhat predict outside of the micro-term is volatility, and that is exactly what happened. Ironic I guess since the forecast for the presidency was Clinton. Poetic, even. But the dip we saw was probably not b/c Trump got elected... it's b/c who everybody thought was going to be elected was not.quash wrote:[

And then loop back to being pissed off because the democrats seem poised to learn entirely the wrong lessons from what has occurred.

TWO people in the progressive caucus endorsed Sanders. Two.
That's why there's only one issue in politics. Approval ratings can't be lower, and reelection rates can't be higher.

So during the election when you were talking about weathering 4 years of Trump for a big comeback in 2020 that was not acceptable to me. Time was running out and I was willing to put up with all of Clinton's other weaknesses
