I think those of you on my friends list upset about the election results should read this post by my RL friend David. He's incredibly conservative, but he makes an important and encouraging point to those who aren't.
Sounds like David has a good head on his shoulders. It's good to remember that the political scene is not the end-all and be-all of the American experience, and that there is room for competition and hope, even among those who adhere to theories we may not subscribe to.
In other words - "please stay because without a second party we'll be exposed as the dictatorial regime we are rather than just operating as one behind a facade of democracy." That guy needs to read up on his American history - we're a country founded by people who bugged out of England when the political/religious situation became unbearable, when one party gained too much power and destroyed the quality of life.
