If it was a national holiday, it is more possible that I would have had off from work (as would many other people) and the election's outcome would have been MUCH different. I am very annoyed that I wasn't able to get to the booth for this election...

It will only work until my generation is retired. Then they're fucked. But for a good... 30-50 years more.... we're fucked.

Apparently your generation didn't much care either..

Voters 18- to 29-years-old made up only 13 percent of those who went to the polls on Tuesday, according to exit polls.

That's disappointing... Let's just hope we're not overly fucked like stromboli predicted.... although it certainly seems that way

You're fucked, but you can lessen the impact by buying stock in the corporation that makes vaseline. You're gonna need it.......

For sure. Honestly think Sanders is posturing anyway, because he has to know that it doesn't have a chance. He's made noise about a presidential bid.

Try that in Columbus Ohio.. An otherwise sensible city still thinks Columbus discovered the capital of Ohio..

Perhaps stop having elections a few days after Halloween so dead people don't vote...
