I did not even want to watch the news broadcasts today. I'm so disappointed with the voter turnout. The suppression in some of the states is infuriating, like in Georgia and North Carolina. The thinly-disguised poll taxes in the form of draconian voter i.d. laws, yadda, yadda. *rant, rant*
It is so tempting to blame the voters, but it is not all their fault. Poverty and relentless cuts to public education have taken their toll.
If I were cynical, I would say, "Welcome to the United States of Koch Brothers."
