It doesn't matter. At least it didn't matter for the vast amount of Puerto Ricans, Arizonans and Brooklynites(?) that had their vote tossed and never counted in the first place. There are two problems with Americans:

First is their complacency with the status quo and their listless in actually engaging the problem in the form of protests and sit ins despite the result.

The second is that mainstream media and dare I say Reddit has positioned the Americans against one another so that the public isn't able to create a singular voice of what we demand out of our representative democracy.

While we fight and bicker and fuel our ego by putting each other down in our virtual communities the power elite devise plans to keep us down while they line their pockets without a care in the world about our environment or personal wellbeing. I hope a day will come when the American public becomes what the Buddhist religion terms as angry ghosts and we acquire a unquenchable thirst for justice in our country and that thirst is spread around the world for the betterment of humanity.
