Election
I may write something myself later but for the moment I'm too depressed. I am also really surprised (and of course completely disgusted and scared almost to tears) with this result. I think yesterday will end up being one of the worst days ever for this country. In 2000, people may not have known what they would be getting - now, there is no excuse. It is hard to live in a country where more than half the people would vote for this group of people and what they have done to civil liberties, our standing in the world, the environment, etc... At least I live in a section of the country that doesn't support this but I'm not sure that's enough.
Anyway, there is a nice article by Dan Gillmor. I think his point about the Democratic party in many ways now being a failed alternative is correct but is there a way to shift this trend when 50% of the people seem to me pretty much unreachable based on yesterday's result. Even if we manage to survive the next four years, what then?
