      <![CDATA[53%? In all sincerity, fuck you. If you want to claim your hipster disillusionment and detachment, fine but I never fucking want to hear you bitching about any political issue. As another commenter pointed you can fucking vote by MAIL here..how fucking lazy and emo are you if you can't even commit to that? Obama won on electoral votes and you did precious little to contribute (because of how it works) so stop fucking patting yourself on the back.
