So, that’s that. Kerry just conceded. Congratulations, America—you’ve voted for four more years of invasions and war, economic decline, deficit, poor education, fucking the environment, shitty healthcare, running Social Security into the ground and more. Good for you. Oh, and let’s not forget that Bush might have the opportunity to nominate three justices to the Supreme Court. See you later, Roe v. Wade. Oh, and I hope none of you people with cancer or Parkinson’s expect to see a cure any time soon. At least not in this country.

The saddest thing about this whole election is that America is changing for the worse. We’re becoming more and more conservative. What happened to the progressive America? What the fuck is wrong with you people? Is this all that you want in life? Is this the American dream? You think Bush is a fiscally responsible president? All you bastards who lost your jobs over the past 4 years still voted for him. What’s wrong with you?

I’m especially outraged by the exit poll statistics on how many people voted for Bush because of his “morals.” This is the closest election we’ve had in a long time and for all intents and purposes, it was decided by religion. I’m sickened. Canada looks really good to me right now. I’m sure I’ll write something a little more eloquent at some point but for right now I can’t even get it all out. This is a sad, sad day for this country. I’m ashamed.
