Okay, so, it's easy to get into fights on social media. You're not face to face with the person, you're able to just go off without them interrupting or correcting you.

But sometimes it is mighty hilarious.

Case in point: Elizabeth Warren venting at Ted Cruz after he sent an email out saying how hard it is running for President.


On one hand, I'm sad I didn't declare a side in this election because I can't vote in the primary. On the other hand, it's nice to just sit back and watch the insanity.

People have been turning out today to vote (our last day of Early Voting before the official election day on Tuesday) so at least people want to vote. No guarantee they will pick who I want them to pick, but at least they are exercising their rights. But we are in a well off area, where people can drop in and vote. I wish that our library closer to the city was one of the locations picked for voting.

We didn't even have a Democratic primary. We had a caucus instead.

It's so weird that there are just ten random states (http://www.factcheck.org/2008/04/caucus-vs-primary/) that do caucuses. You'd think that the citizens would have complained!

We do complain, but Idaho is a deeply red state and the government here does their best to obstruct Democrats at every turn. I've had so much trouble voting you would not believe it.

That is messed up! WTF!?! Why does this not get national attention every time? Is it because no one loves Idaho? It's BIG POTATO isn't it?? He's holding us back. (sorry for the potato joke, it's late and it seemed funny)

It is a very good thing people is going to vote!

I wish I could vote but I don't have my citizenship yet... :(

In Italy (where I originally came from) they just have some elections and in some parts of the country just the 17% went to vote... That's extremely sad to me!

This election is giving me a fucking headache and I just want to cast my ballot and be done with it. I'm tired of all the fighting and bickering and stupid stuff.

I am with everyone else. I am just over this stupid election already and everything. I'm tired of hearing name calling and crap.

I got as far as "Only by the grace of God" and went, "Oh, fuck him." I am also very much "over" this election, and by that I mean, "Please just let this be over, can we fast forward to November and forget this shit happened?"

Also, this:

The election in the US is just a scary thing to me, sitting in another country, to be honest. And very hard to understand to.

This is my favourite. Rather small in comparison, but amusing all the same.
