It’s official….

Well…just got done reading some stats on the past election and there are some unbelievable numbers in there that really, really disappoint me…my first feeling that the turnout was going to be low from what I saw out there and that has been confirmed…only 34.7% of the people in the US turned out for this election…and the part I can’t believe is that even after all the incompetence and evil from the repubs…people voted for them, trusting the lies that they told to get elected. This turnout was the lowest since the 1948 elections and with the problems the country faces, why the hell weren’t people motivated to try to elect people to make it better? Not to impeach the president, not to take more control over their bodies away from women, not to cut taxes on the rich, not to investigate when the sun come ups, but to work on getting more and better jobs, to make college more affordable, and to make a sensible immigration policy…but, I guess our side just doesn’t care about that…if they don’t think that turning the country over to the repubs is going to be hell on earth for the next two years and can’t be bothered to take 15 minutes to vote, then the people of this country deserve what they are going to get….I’m damn glad I’m old and don’t have much time left….
