I feel like jumping up and down.

Okay, so I don't post much about politics here and I don't really intend to much in the future, but right now, I just have to say: this is pretty much the proudest I've ever been as an American.

I'm just so happy right now. I can't even describe it. It's just... wow.



ETA: Haha, I'm reading my f-list right now and I can't stop grinning.

IT STILL GETS THE EXCITEMENT ACROSS. :D

Haha, that's awesome. I WOULD TOTALLY SING A SONG FOR HIM RIGHT NOW.

I honestly wasn't that worried myself because I've felt that this was going to happen for a long while now, but to finally have it confirmed was like having this big bubble of joy burst in my chest, you know? It's not just that he won, either; it's that he did it by such a huge margin, and it means that so many Americans are united behind him and it's just like, wow, we're really moving in a right direction again after so long. And like you said, to be able to take part in all that and be part of what made it happen--just amazing. Amazing.
