Good to see the world ended.

Fire and brimstone, rivers of blood boiling, 20 years of darkness, dogs and cats living together -- mass hysteria!

Oh, wait. The sun's shining and we didn't get invaded.

And, if anyone didn't notice, the world didn't end in 1980. Or 1984. Or in 1994 -- which made last night look like a cakewalk. Not even 2000. It didn't end in 2010, to the best of my knowledge, either. I know, I (a millennial who votes every year my polls are open) lived through a few of those.

I guess what I'm saying is this: Republicans having a slight majority in the Senate won't be the end the world. Yeah, not much will get done, but when since 2009 has a lot gotten done? The vast majority of Americans will still have jobs, the roads won't all close and the supermarket won't raise prices 10,000,000 percent.

I know, probably blasphemous to post that, but "I'm too old for this sh*t."



Now, go get me some candidates that don't suck for 2016.

They will not go away quickly if ever. The invasion happened some time ago.

but it is quickly being eroded away by the people who refuse to act on climate change and progressive issues... these steps backwards take much too long to make up for... even if that is possible at some point
