People need to wake the eff up and start looking at their own self interests before walking into the voting booth. I'm glad these people are pissed off, but it's their fault we are in this mess. If they had paid attention to what is going on in the world rather than to what is going on on that little screen they hold in their hands playing Candy Crush, they might have been smart enough not to vote the way they did.
