2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumam I the only one?
i'm watching the roll call, and cannot stop crying! i'm just silently weeping over here.
i think this may be one of the most important and momentous elections of my life. but then there was 2000 (infamously) and 2008, so i don't know.
i just feel so emotional, watching democracy and maybe regrowing a little hope for my country.
blubbery barbara, that's me. am i the only one?

To me, Obama was a lot different. That was truly history and a "only in America" thing. Many nations have made women heads of their state, but never has a primarily euro-white-centric country elected a man of African decent, especially one with such racial inequality and our history of we have treated them.
I'm sure many will disagree, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
