I just read that turnout in this midterm is possibly the lowest since 1942

I have two reactions to this:

1) Glad this is hardly a ringing endorsement of the GOP

2) Upset that so few people cared. I'm sure the GOP vote suppression tactics worked, but it can't all be that. The bottom line is, people who didn't vote basically handed over power to those who did, resulting in the mess we're now dealing with.
