People from across the globe, not just US, were interested in the election result as polling starts

LAHORE: (Web Desk) – United States (US) is currently experiencing one of the most important elections in decades as the world’s most powerful country is torn between two extreme odds. While the two biggest US political parties, Democrats and Republicans, are contesting this election tooth and nail, the most surprising element of this election is the topics that have come under discussion.

Most of us believed that the Americans had gotten over the civil war days and that their elections now revolved around the international relations and development subjects. However, this election saw things like racism, religious bigotry and colour taking the front seat after several decades.

The Twitterati also took to their favourite social media platform to share their views of the election. Here are some of the tweets that might give you an insight into the #ElectionDay discussions of the voters, and even those who have nothing to do with the US.

The best thing about the US elections is that people vote. It is their trust in the democratic system that makes them stand in long queues just to exercie their duty i.e. vote.

And it is despite the fact that they don t really have any hopes in any of the two candidates.

The fight between the supporters of the two candidates continued on the election-day too.

Muslims and Arab world remained a constant theme throughout the campaign. It continued to be discussed on the election-day as well.

And there were coloured people supporting Trump too.

This US election certainly is a global subject, as the US policies have an impact on almost every country in the world.

Some equated Trump with Adolf Hitler too.

We don t know about how the US feels. For the rest of the world, Hillary is already the winner.
