Congratulations, America! \o/

I love seeing all the joy pouring out on my flist.

It makes me all thinky, about the differences between my country and yours. We're so awfully sedate in Sweden. We do not have huge rallies with people shouting their hearts out. Everyone just goes in a quiet and orderly way to leave their votes.

Of course, in other ways I'm not envious of your political landscape--your whole political scale is shifted to the right compared to ours. The Democrats are a lot like some of our right-wing parties. We're far from being a socialist country, though--basically, we're a Social Democrat country, or we were for a lot of years. It's been eroding for a couple of decades, though, and economic neo-liberalism is making inroads, which sucks.

So yeah, I could wish for some of that fire. &hearts

The thing I am too tired to pay a lot of attention to is how far to the right of me Obama is. He's still such a vast improvement that I can't actually get upset about that right now.

Yeah, I get you. At least it's a great step in the right (uh, by which I mean the left) direction...
