It seems like Trump has this. The map looks very similar to the 2016 election except for Arizona.
The result of the election does not affect me directly, but I was hoping for a change. In general, I've always thought the politics of the Democratic party in the middle east were more moderate, things were kind of moving in the right directions here by the end of Obama's presidential period. Oh well.. This is not about me. So, best of luck to USA citizens. I hope you know what you are doing.

The sad part is, while it will not directly affect other countries it will still indirectly mess things up. It will be a slow roller, but right wing extremists will only feel more emboldened and try the same thing in other countries. If Trump wins it's a net loss for the US and also a net loss for the world, even though we will not feel the effects right now.

Really not sure what you're talking about... Syria, Yemen, and Libya burnt to the ground under Obama's watch. Obama wouldn't call the coup a coup, and continued to send cash and weapons to the Egyptian army that stole the revolution. He allowed ISIS grew considerably in a very short amount of time. The only positive I could think was the Iran deal, other than that, Obama didn't move an inch, and broke his promises about pulling out.

  • White Men -5
  • White Women +2
  • Black Men +4
  • Black Women +4
  • Latino Men +3
  • Latino Women +3
  • Other +5

You voted against Obama twice?! 

I'm in texas. My vote has never counted.

I'm sorry to hear that. 

This is exactly why y'all should be demanding a third party: to provide a tentative to dispatch FPTP.

I can't blame the US president for our problems, can I? The truth is, ISIS grew among us and we allowed it. We live in a developing country, our attempts to change usually results in chaos and death, we pretty much don't know how to change things for the better. But that is our problem. Maybe Obama was wise not to get too involved? On the other hand Trump has been an agent of chaos. Pulling out of the deal with Iran. The recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel. Assassination of Qasem Soleimani and bragging about it on Twitter. Most, if not all of his decisions did nothing but disturbing the region.

Anyways, all of this is off-topic I have no interest in changing anyone's mind. Just sharing my own.

As a conservative living in Virginia, a blue state, I could say the same thing. Virginia's electoral votes are still going to Biden even though I can't stand him. We still have 2 Democrat senators in spite of my votes against them. Governor Blackface won in spite of my vote against him. Both my district's State Delegate and US Representative would have won even without my vote because I live in a very red part of the state. So technically my votes don't "count", but I still feel privileged to get to vote, sadly there are still people in the world who don't get that right. 

Would've never pegged you as a conservative before. That's kind of surprising. Not that I can blame you. Back in Spain, I voted for a far left (PODEMOS) party, an indy (PdeCat) party and a "far right" (Vox) party one after the other, so I can see where some people's voting would come from. 

I myself would've voted GOP in the last two elections, even if I would've doubtlessly voted for Sanders, Warren, Yang or even Bootygig if they had been the candidates instead (and was American, of course).

big respect to Trump if he wins

I am Biden myself, but I love to see Christians standing up against all the modern poisonous bullshit

in the end of the day, the greatest protest is done in silence and peacefully



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

What the fuck are you talking about?   Yemen has been fucked for awhile and we keep selling weapons to the Saudis.  The Saudis drop usa made weapons in markets and schools and guess who the arabs hate more?  USA.  Yemen is just a proxy war just like vietnam.   Learn some history.
