    This, in itself, is consequential.

    Wonder if anything significant will come from a Republican senate, or if it will just mean deadlock continues another two years as the presidential veto can keep most Republican efforts in check. Might give O more reason to compromise with Congress, but not sure how that would play out.

    EDIT:Crap formatting, sorry:

      Spoiler:

    Voter Interest At Record Low For Midterm Elections

    Though political parties spent an estimated $4 billion to sway voters ahead of today’s midterm elections, surveys show that voter interest is at a record low, with many registered voters reporting being cynical and negative about the future of the government. What do you think?

    “If only they’d spent $5 billion, maybe I’d be interested.”

    Yu Williams –
    A/C Adapter Expert

    “I’m honestly surprised the constant bombardment of attack ads from both sides hasn’t gotten people excited about politics.”

    Greta Van Der Woodsen –
    Unemployed

    “On the plus side, a cynical and extremely negative electorate is a good sign that people are in touch with the government.”

    Fucking american electorate is clueless as fucking fuck nbs.

    The best part about this is that I was in a waiting room and Rachel Maddow was on and being all smug smug about Colorado ALWAYS being a blue state when the GOP ALWAYS thinks it's gonna be red.

    Eat your crow.

    Douglas Adams quote (slightly paraphrased):



    I'd prefer Zaphod Beeblebrox in my politics, please.
    Audacter calumniare, semper aliquid haeret

    "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt"
