creeped out

I just saw this on teh Facebook in regards to Scott Brown's senate win in Massachusetts:

"The first shot of the New American Revolution was fired tonight by the voting majority of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is just a small hint of things to come."

Creepy. Like, I actually have frigging goosebumps right now. His victory is a shitstorm for women's rights and civil liberties. Not good.

And seriously, what more proof do we need that the two-party political system is failing us than the hullaballoo of this election?! If ONE senate seat out of A HUNDRED is really such a game-changer for the country then obviously SHIT HAS GONE COMPLETELY WRONG, PEOPLE. We have two parties working against each other and a nation that has a hard time seeing anything beyond Blue and Red, because that's all we're given. The two-party system may have worked two hundred years ago but it's bunk now. It's gasping and clutching it's chest, if not already dead.

So how can we make people understand this? How can we affect some ACTUAL change into our government? What does it take to realize that if something's broken it needs to be fixed, and NOW?

Sorry for the rant, I'm just so frustrated. The more Kennedy's senate seat has turned into The Election That'll Make Or Break The Obama Administration (ie- healthcare reform) the more and more I want to bang my head against the wall.

Bah.
