the good things about last night:
+ FUCK YEAH WE DIIIIIIIIIIIIIID
+ democratic senate and house control
+ colorado and south dakota did not pass their ballot measures on abortion
+ MA did not repeal their income tax
+ Michigan passed stem cell research
so while you were drinking yourself to death over Obama’s victory (which, yes, I’m happy about because I’m not as afraid of having to declare the US ‘Oceania’ at the moment and I mean there’s no doubt that he is a good man), we ended affirmative action in Nebraska (HAY DID YOU EVEN KNOW TWO STATES WERE VOTING ON THAT? LOLOLOLOL), California’s props 4 and 8 are still up in the air but looking like they’ll be passed, Arizona and Florida banned gay marriage for the millionth time (and in the process, FL banned commonlaw marriages, BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE), and gay couples in Arkansas can no longer adopt children.
oh, and Obama still isn’t a radical and looks like he’ll never do anything about racism, poverty, sexism, homophobia, etc in any way. not like McCain was gonna do ANY of that shit either but christ almighty.
WOOOOO GO TEAM AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
