My grain:
I can't really express how I feel about the election. I don't want to believe that so many of my fellow citizens think that W is doing a good job as our leader. I don't want to believe that Kerry would concede so easily without protesting the voter intimidation tactics in Ohio, the state that ultimately ended up pushing Bush over the edge. I don't want to believe that people in this country aren't interested in a truly honest, fair electoral process. I don't want to believe that people need to have an answer today instead of waiting until all the absentee and provisional ballots are counted. I don't want to believe that the electoral college will convene on December 13th and vote that beady-eyed puppet into another term.
That said, I don't believe that everyone in this country will lie down and take it. I don't believe that we'll all just sit here, complacent, and not do anything. I don't believe that 51% of Americans love Bush that much, because half of the registered voters in this country didn't even bother to fucking vote. And after seeing the record voter turnout* yesterday, I don't believe this is a closed issue.
* We had over 50% turnout in our precinct. That's 50% of registered voters, not 50% of eligible voters. Did you vote?
