The past few weeks have been filled with stress. There are final exams, a lame duck Congress that fails at doing anything, Wikileaks may shut down, the list goes on. However, Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma has been doing a very nice job of keeping my stress in line by saying some incredibly stupid and hilarious things about the so-called war on Christmas.

In order to graduate junior year at my school, everyone has to write a six to eight page profile on a person in the community they do not know well, but interests them. Most people chose their subject, did their research, and promptly fell out of touch. A few people might have coffee once in a while with their subject, although they will probably fall out of touch as well. However, I think I managed to form a lasting bond with my subject, a young man who I would to be like when I reach his age.

In a few hours, I will be stuffing myself with all sorts of yummy, high calorie food, but before I become bloated and sleepy, I'd like to share of lists of things I am thankful for this year, ala today's Cheers and Jeers.

Today Kamala Harris finally won her attorney general race in California, joining the ranks of Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom in what is sure to be a pretty epic state government. I, for the most part, love California, the state I've lived my whole life. Yes, the Governator did get elected, and we kind of dropped the ball on the whole Prop 8 and Prop 19 thing. And we have a pretty bad budget and schools. Despite all of our short-comings, I still love the Golden State.

So, I stumbled on this charming little website our new Congress has set up, America Speaking Out. Everyday Americans, like you and I can post what they want for the country. I'm pretty sure it was intended for conservatives to talk about whatever conservatives talk about, but, well... it looks like progressives have been enjoying themselves. I'm now a member, screen name TeenagedPundit.

Regardless of what people said last night and today, I still think there is hope. Yes, we got crushed in the House. Yes, we have a very slim, non filibuster proof majority in the Senate. Yes, the Tea Party had candidates who won. Yes, our new Speaker of the House looks like an Oompa Loompa. However, not all is lost, and I think there still is hope for the United States.

I'm still too young to vote, sadly, but if I could, I'd be at the polls as soon as they open, every single election. Sadly, most Americans are probably not going to go to the polls this year, and those who are tend to support candidates who are going to destroy the country. If I'm not already disillusioned, This article, made me even more disillusioned. So, please, go vote. Do it for the next generation.

I still cannot vote. Well, only two years and two weeks until I can. But, although I have no voice whatsoever, I'm still making my election day plans in three different settings, school, home, and my local Democratic Party HQ.

Today, I spent three hours campaigning in the Palo Alto region for the California Democratic Party. While I had one of my posters ripped in half in front of me, an old geezer threatened to call the cops, and countless people slammed doors in my face or threatened to sic a dog on me, I also met an extraordinary woman who has been campaigning for the Democrats since the age 10, in the 1960 election, some really cute kids, more people than I can remember who praised me for doing my civic duty/ being different from other teens, and one very special father.

I'm a pessimist and a cynic when it comes to American politics and the future of my generation.

However, I know my generation well enough. Once we stop being apathetic and depressed, we can be passionate. We honestly want to help people, save the world, find world peace. We're all so sick of watching adults who supposedly knew what they were doing screw up. I think we honestly can get it right. We are the brightest minds in history, the most tech-savy, the ones who've got the most to lose.

This is what I hope.

Today is Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement. Last night, my mom and my sister went to services while I stayed at home with my dad. I've been think an awful lot about what it is to be an atheist today.

I'm not old enough to vote. I, like many of my generation of depressed, too-young-to-be-able-to-campaign-for-Gore-and-Kerry but old enough to remember 9/11 and both wars and watching Bush mess up the USA, but being too apathetic to care about politics or voting.

I hope to be different. I am planning to vote in 2012, and hopefully by then our government won't be in the control of the Tea Party, or at least will still be functioning and more or less in one piece.

Here is why I am a Democrat.
