I've been following your elections since 1960. [View all]

I've read Advise and Consent, your constitution, and your Bill of Rights. You have an amazing form of government, which would be totally awesome if it were rescued from the Republicans and the alt-right business interests. Wouldn't it be lovely if you reclaim the Senate, and can do the things that august body was meant to do!

In order to understand this particular election, I have learned about the primary system, which truly offers any American the opportunity to run for president. Now if only more of the thinking public would vote at primaries, they couldn't be hijacked by the likes of Trump.

I read in-depth articles to such an extent that many of my American friends tell me I know more about this election than they do. (But not, obviously, more than DUers!) I have educated many Canadian friends about the nuances of your process.

I've visited every one of your 50 wonderful states, as well as Puerto Rico. And to several of them: I'll be back.

I support Native American, women's rights, African-American rights, and animal rights through contributions to US charities, for which I can't get a tax receipt.

I can't vote in your elections, or even contribute financially to any campaign, but I have become a DU junkie, and I follow your threads avidly, as well as post when I have something to say. And I honor all of you who have worked your hearts out for this one.

I will be following posts on this site tomorrow, and will have my heart in my throat, like many of you.

But I truly believe Hillary will win, and while she won't change the public perception of women overnight, things will change over time, with her as president, just as they have in many other democracies.

So - I'm ready to celebrate a landslide tomorrow night.
