Post-election-day bullspunk

You know, I don't expect everyone to be happy about the results, but I do expect people to buckle down and cope.

Waaah, the Republicans are in power. Waaaah! It's a conspiracy! Waaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaah, I should move to Canada!

Yes, yes you should. Please move to Canada. Move there and spare me your noise.

What's annoying about democrats bitching about the Republicans winning, well, everything is that:
They don't realize that republicans and democrats are both mostly beholden to big business interests these days, and aside from a couple of issues, are both moving to the center and even if their idealogies aren't the same, run things in an almost identical manner

They like to blame people with the guts to vote green, libertarian, or independent for the loss of their candidates, instead of blaming the candidates for alienating these voters by their moves towards the mushy center

They don't realize that this is just a big chance for the republicans to fuck up, which they will, and that republicans doing well in THIS election gives us a good 75% chance we'll see democrats regain control of a lot of stuff in 2004. Even without the impending second recession my nutso yet often-correct boyfriend keeps talking about.

P.S. Canada is lame.
