Are we all ready to save the world today?

That's no hyperbole. I absolutely mean it 100%.

Every single American who gets to the polls today--or has in the past couple of weeks during the early voting period--and votes for Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump should get credit for saving the world.

We voted for a sensible, reasonable, and extremely experienced candidate and against one who is without a doubt the most unqualified person ever to run for the office of President. We voted for inclusivity regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, and religion, and against divisiveness that threatens us to the very core. We voted for continuing the gains this country has seen over the past 8 years and against sending the country back to a darker era. We voted for a foreign policy that favors diplomacy and measured action and against impulsive recklessness.

We voted for sanity, and against insanity.

We are the very heroes that we have cried out to rescue us. Stand tall and stand proud. We are here to save the country and to save the world.

Because this is the year of David Bowie, I'll leave you all with this:
