Election rants

[firstfrost]

A lot of people I know have posted election rants.
I can't write one.

All the rants I've posted here so far, no matter how angry I've been, have managed to get to the point where I could make of them an amusing anecdote. Books I don't like, stupid users I have to deal with on the phone... I try to tell a funny story.

No funny story this time.

I'm curious to know who has posted election rants; I'm interested in reading the entire collection. I'm also wondering if you consider the post I made on Friday an election rant considering that I ranted a bit on election coverage.

I wasn't counting yours very strongly. :)

Of people in my friends list:
crs and navrins are both pretty political and have had several journal entries about the election, including things I mostly put in the "reasoned rant" category.

jdbakermn has a long email exchange posted, which isn't his but is sort of emotionally in the rant category.

dpolicar talks about ballot counting, but that's not so much a rant. baronet had a mini-rant.

Then there were a bunch of people with more-or-less rants but friends-only, who you don't seem to overlap with.

Thanks. I'd read some of those, but not all.

I'm debating whether I'm more conservative than most of my friends or more cynical. I'm leaning towards the latter, especially since I do wholeheartedly support gay marriage.
