teleen_fictionSo I'm over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ontd_political, reading this post with live election results, and my brain breaks.
It's broken forever, poppets. When a proposition in MO TO BAN FUCKING PUPPY MILLS can't pass, my faith in the humanity of my fellow man in this country has taken a sharp dive straight into the Grand Canyon.
Not to mention that my Governor, Ted Strickland, lost. Meaning the my vote, DIDN'T FUCKING COUNT. And don't give me some shit about how every vote counts. If he lost by one vote or one million, he still fucking lost, making my state even more fucked up than it was before.
The only thing that gives me any shred of hope is that politicians fucking suck at doing anything. Oh, wait - that's DEMOCRATS.
Republicans are fucking aces at getting shit done. Too bad it's mostly racist, homophobic, pro-rich, anti-environment pro-corporate shit.
Oh, and if you voted Republican and you make less than $250,000 a year? Congratulations, you've voted against your own self-interest and in favor of the party that wants to turn back the clock to the 1950's (except, y'know, the part where the rich paid 90% taxes).
Fuck you, U.S. Fuck you and the fail!boat you've decided to sail on.

Date: 2010-11-03 06:56 am (UTC)I have the same feelings towards those who vote for rightwing politicians out of knee jerk reaction and have no idea of the damage they are going to do to the majority ...
I suspect the Tea Party gangs of having done a lot of the damage in the US ... I feel for you, it sucks when those with privilege already then take power ... and they get there by appealing to the more despicable traits in humanity ...
I'd say god help us all ... but I don't think there is one outside of our imagination, so I'll toast the FSM and dine on noodles ...
thinking of you ...
