Last night a majority of our participating electorate voted for oligarchy and bigotry. They voted to destroy our public school system, to deny climate change. They voted against regulations to keep our food and water safe. They voted against a living wage, against a thriving middle class. They voted for poverty. They voted for a gun in every hand. They voted for endless war. They voted against themselves and posterity. They voted against our right to vote. Last night America voted against America because our corporate national media compelled it, because, apparently, fear and money are the most powerful forces in the universe.
