The only reason Trump won is because Clinton was the worst Democratic nominee in recent memory. Can't believe we were represented by the stereotypically untrustworthy politician under federal investigation instead of the ideologue everyone likes
The EXACT reason why I didn't vote for that woman.

But the Smash Ballot was a mistake. So many people got disappointed over the results last year. Not everyone likes Bayonetta or the winner being a third party (let alone one that's far from a big name).

If some of the higher ballot choices were picked for the port, then they would be completely satisfied.

Can I say this years is the year of president getting replaced by, in good word, aren't going to make great decision?
Because apparantly in France, Francois Hollande have a good chance to be replaced by a woman worst than Trump for what I heard.

I think she's still better than Trump, but she didn't have much of a platform

Between two widely-disliked candidates, the one with a more excited base won. Trump had clear (if awful) goals; Clinton's big inspirational platform was "get a load of this guy". One wonders why she wanted to be president in the first place.

She cheated the system to ensure she was the democratic nominee

If Bernie had been picked, he would have won
I still don't think this was true.

A lot of Bernie's ideals were divisive and deemed too far by other democrats.

Now imagine how the neutral and neutral leaning Republicans (the ones who probably wouldn't be pro-Trump) would feel.
People were worried about Hillary's health. Bernie is 6 years older. Not to mention he visibly looks older too. . .


It would have been REALLY easy for republicans to paint him as a communist who won't live through his term. Like. . .really easy.

I've been hearing analyst say that Bernie may even have a harder time against Trump than Hilary due to his highly progressive ideals

It was a very vocal minority
The thought of it made the region a laughing stock for the rest of the country though
Because political decentralization is evil and laughable, aye?
Well, Brexit happened. The Iron Curtain fell. Who's laughing now?

Not the only reason, but a yuge one no doubt.
"Screw the system," say people.
We need political revolt to continue, more ideologues and less demagogues, if we even stand a chance at rooting out the corruption that's present in every level of government.

Don't be dense. My vote is inherently thrown away by living in Illinois. Nothing I would've put on that ballot would've--
Oh, I thought you were talking about politics.

Oh yes--Le Pen is a populist alright, another political revolution if she wins!

And I just discovered I was using the word "demagogue" wrong. https://www.lewrockwell.com/1970/01/murray-n-rothbard/rothbard-on-le-pen/

Last time I've checked, didn't people hate Corrin more than Bayonetta? And he wasn't even a ballot choice.

He's the anti-Roy, a glorified advertisement that came at the wrong time when place when Smash fans felt Fire Emblem was shoved down their throats.

Doesn't help that his self insert nature combined with the poor writing of Fates made him even more divisive than Sword of Seals Roy in the Fire Emblem fandom itself.

I have a feeling President Sanders timelines are gonna be a joke for a while to come. Or President Hambre's ghost.

They likely will be due to a comment on the Ballot, and people likely won't be satisfied.

There are about 100 characters with decently high levels of support in this fandom, and someone to get offended for every one of them. If it's a port, then Ridley still isn't happening, which means people will be mad over that.

People will think Isaac and K. Rool won and then we'll get Daisy and Waluigi as the winners and people will flip. Or any other combination of characters for that matter.

No matter who gets in, even if there's somehow a dozen new characters or some similarly high number, people will rage.

Hm well which one is more important to have atm?
Which one do you want the most?
Well I'm fine on consoles since my Xbone does what I want but Persona 5, Spider-Man and KOF is tempting to me, HOWEVER I don't have a legitimately good computer. My Laptop is fine but it's Vaio Laptop from 2012 that's running Windows 10 and it's a slow mess.


I guess I'll hit up the Computer and just wait and see and decide between a PS4 and Switch next year

I honestly don't want Corrin to return I'd rather he be gone next game and Lucina as an alt costume for Marth and then the lord of the inevitable Switch FE join Smash.

I stayed up way too late worrying over the election.

Again, sorry for the hypocrisy. While I blame my blood for my temper, I only discredit my ideals every time I get upset.

Take a good long look NintenZone. Don't argue like me.

Serious answer though - how much would you be willing to pay for a laptop, and how much would you be willing to pay for a PS4? And if you were to get a laptop, what games would you want to run on it?

For what it's worth, I still think what you said had some truth to it. Like I said, sometimes it's necessary to contradict yourself to arrive at the truth and point it out.

Judging by your choice in avatar, I think you'll get what I mean by that. ;)

WTF Indeed. Are we sure this was made with children in mind? Also, who exactly does Lilligant prefer to mate with when they have a 100% female gender ratio?

Laptop: $250-300
PS4: $250

Also I really don't care about games because I'm not looking for a Gaming Laptop but a Laptop for business/personal use.

Even then the most Gaming I do on Laptop/Computers are Emulated games and Indie Platformers like Freedom Planet, Cave Story and Sonic ROM Hacks

Oh, should have asked that too.

Yeah I think you should go with the laptop if you have important work stuff to do.

My wonder is how well Bernie would have done with the uneducated blue collar white voter. After all, that's the group Trump has been able to connect with and ride his way to victory in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania. If anything, Bernie Sander represents a lot of things that group is supposed to oppose. Maybe a Sanders campaign would have energized the youth like Obama's did.

No matter, President Trump is real and I'm going try live the next four years the best I can. No doofus in the white house can't stop me from being me.

Yeah and Gaming wise I do wanna hit up Fightcade and play some Marvel vs Capcom/X-Men vs Street Fighter and Guilty Gear.


Even then I still might go for PS4 depending if I can find another battery for my laptop

I'd imagine those would run fine on a $200-$300 set up. So I wouldn't worry about that.

Let's do Top Three favorite Alola Pokémon, now that we know everything there is to know about all of them.

Two definite good things to come from Trump winning:

1) Nobody can say the vote was rigged. Democracy is truly still alive in the US.

2) Russia really hated Clinton, but adored Trump. So Russian/American relations could smooth over a bit.
I wish I could say inb4 allegations of Russia rigging the election except those claims were made during the election.

Anyway, fingers crossed I can get an NES Classic Edition today. I'm also kinda interested in getting Sega's mini console next week. Tbh, it seems to contain a lot more value wise than Nintendo's offer. 80 Mega Drive games, 2 controllers packed in, a cartridge slot (I don't have any Mega Drive games but still) and here it's $10 cheaper. I've never been much of a Sega fan but the value and amount of games I haven't played makes it tempting. I should see if it has save states/restore points.
