Today's the day America shoots its own foot

Happy mid-term election day! The day when a tiny sliver of our voting population will go to the polls and vote against their self-interests, or just vote randomly because no one reads the newspaper any more.

If pollsters are correct, the USA will vote in a shiny new Republican majority in the Senate, then, 2 years later, come to regret this horrible decision.

Future quotes include:
"WTF were we thinking?"
"Odd that so many voters were turned away in 2014, isn't it?"
and the classic,
"We fucked up bad. Never knew gridlock could get worse, but we are terrific innovators in piling shit upon ourselves in this country and it looks like we dumped a hot steaming load right on the backs of Americans at a time when we could least afford it. Now we're piling up debt again, our credit is downgraded, no one has proper medical insurance because they repealed ACA by holding up the debt ceiling and China is calling on our debt so we had to sell our National Parks into slavery."
