This article, which I stumbled across on the internet, provides a pretty nice summary of what the people who are disappointed in the outcome of the US elections are thinking.
Some may say it's America bashing. I wouldn't.
I don't know anything about the author or website and I suspect it's a "left-wing" site, but the points the author makes are good nonetheless.
