Election Results

Dear whichever Rebulicrat won the election,

Do you realize how many people disagree with you?  How many people voted against you?  Whatever victory margin you had does not mean you have a resounding mandate to drag the country even further in your preferred direction.

Dear whatever people voted for the winner,

Do you realize how many people in the country disagree with you?  You are barely the majority.  Just because Obomney won doesn't mean you can completely ignore everyone who voted against Obomney.

Look at the approval ratings for the federal government.  Even if the House, Senate, and Presidency switched parties in the election, I bet the approval ratings will still be abysmal.  Being disliked less than the other guy doesn't mean you're actually liked.

PS - I hope Johnson gets 5% of the national vote.  Completely absurd dream is that Johnson, Stein, and Goode all get 5%.  And while I'm dreaming, why not change the election method to alternative voting...
