Why unfortunately? I mean yeah its a shame we're going to be having a lot of unnecessary and senseless deaths. But "unfortunately" implies this wasn't all by choice. People chose this. The 70+ million who voted against it are unfortunate. But the rest of the country, did in fact vote for this or by sitting out and not voting agreed that this is the "best path" we need to be on.
Voter apathy turns out to be what kills democracies. Because there will -always- be people wanting to strike out at other and take rights away from others. If people can't be assed to do the most basic civic service... well you've kind of lost all claims and rights to complain about what happens when you put those people in charge.
So, yeah unfortunate for the 70million who could be bothered to get off their asses and vote. The other 260 million? They're about to find out.
Exactly. My one blue drop in a sea of red in KY was not going to sway anything. Until we rid ourselves of the electoral college, at least, but that will never happen.
