Election Day!
Well the day is finally here. For me, the political geek that I am today is a mix of my birthday, Christmas and New Year's all rolled into one. My greatest wish for today is that people vote, this is still the best running, Constitutional Democracy on the planet and it is a true shame that so many people realize what a wonderful country they live in. Also, as I has said before, if you don't vote, don't complain. I don't want to hear anyone next week roll their eyes or groan if the candidate they didn't like wins, because you had the chance to make your voice heard, and you didn't, so SHUT UP. Also, if the Dems win back Congress today we're in for quite a ride. The House Democratic Caucus has come up with some amazing ideas to start implementing come January, including raising the minimum wage and many more. So go vote, hopefully you'll vote Democratic, but at least have your voice heard. That's all I have.

I think democracy needs to be beyond merely voting for politicians, and be more about participation, though.

Eek, I just realised this. I said the thing above, it's just that I had a slow connection at that time and just posted my comment without realising my sister was logged in.
In short, I wrote the above post, and forgot to log out of my sister's account at the time. Pardon.
