Emotional reaction to the US electoral result

[Dis]

I'm disappointed.

but it's not really that big a deal. I was going to vote for Bush up until about 6 months ago anyways.

The only reason I didn't was the prison abuse scandal. I can't explain why, but that has deeply disturbed me. I've never been so ashamed of being an american. Perhaps I was being naive, and didn't realize how evil the country I live in really is. I just couldn't believe ordinary people are that sadistic. What's even more ****ed up is a few months ago when discussing who we were vote for, some Bush backers were defending this behaviour saying it wasn't that bad.

I no longer like my country. But I'm too lazy to move

Where was the 'Pissing oneself laughing' choice...?

Oh well, better go for Schadenfreude then

Talk about self-destruction. Probably the best thing to happen for the rest of the World (well, most of it!), though we probably won't realise for at least 4 years...

That is what you get if you give gullible morons the opportunity to vote...

Relief. I'm no Bush fan, but I'm certainly relieved that Kerry won't be Commander-in-Chief...

I find it strange that your in Japan yet you seem to support the rise of your new overlord the Golden Emperor Hu Jintao

why's that? how badly can he screw up?

I don't know; I'm just glad we don't have to find out.

I deal with the victims of conservative domestic policies daily.

yes I'm curious as well. I made a post in the election thread about how presidential policies really don't affect me, or anyone that I know. As far as I can tell, they don't affect my whole city. How can conservative policies be that bad?

Like many other semi-intelligent non-Americans posting here, I simply shake my head in bewilderment at how more than half of America's voting population can fail to see what the rest of the world so clearly sees.

Oh wait, I forgot something.....90% of Americans don't give a rat's arse about the rest of the world, and most of those do'nt even recognise that there is a world outside of America (except Afghanistan and Iraq of course, and then only in the last 3 years).

So with that in mind......I guess I'm not so surprised after all.

not everyone is alike. Apparantly people think Bush is doing a good job.

And he is if you think about it. The economy is good. There are plenty of jobs. I would have voted for him if he hadn't messes up the Iraq war.
