Nov. 3rd, 2004 05:20 pmMy condolences to pretty much all my friends.
And to the world, this: "Hang in there. You survived (kinda-sorta) the past four years, you are likely to survive (kinda-sorta) the next four years as well. Hopefully, and with some luck."
I didn't even know how much I was hoping for Kerry until the results turned out in favour of Bush. The incompetence-vs-irresolution issue had left me uncertain for a long time, but I now realize it was the old change-vs-stability issue that would most make the difference in me if I could vote in these elections. Not being happy with the face of either US policy or the face of the world with Bush as the US President, I could only wish for a change and then wish for the best.
One thing's for certain though: The inability to declare a clear undisputed victory in the last two elections harms USA's democracy a great deal.
