I'm glad I voted for him, though unfortunately despite the increase in their vote I think it's still tilting at windmills.

I voted for him as well.

What I have been noticing though talking with people is a growing sense of frustration at the two ruling parties and the patsy's who cheer for them. More people I talked to in this Presidential election than in any I can remember in the past have told me they voted for Gary Johnson.

Maybe this is the begging of a trend? They can't ignore a 3rd party forever if it keeps gaining votes.

True, but I'd rather tilt at a windmill I believe in than suck at the teat of banality and bull***t.

Amen. Another L voter here.

I actually got no argument, and some agreement, when I asked the following question to the D and R types at work today -

"What really changed in the election yesterday?" My explanation to them -

Same president.

Same Congress.

Neither of which has done a damn thing the past two years, much less pass a budget.

And neither likely to do anything for the next two years at least.

Same fiscal cliff, national debt, federal spending, and other problems we had last week - and again, nothing likely to done this time either.

So for all the hundreds of millions of dollars spent and angry words exchanged, just what did this election accomplish, as far as the D's and R's are concerned?
