Election Day Survival Guide for Democrats

Election Day is terrifying! Your candidate might lose! What's worse, a candidate you don't like might win! Fear not, Democratic friends, our handy guide will help you get through the stress of the next twenty-four hours. (It better not be more than twenty-four hours.)

 

Eat a hearty breakfast. If it's not something Michelle Obama would want you to eat, that's a jinx.

 

Playing basketball isn't just a fun way to distract yourself from those slow ballot-counters in Florida. It's a way to commune directly with Barack Obama's spirit.

 

If you start feeling anxious, breathe into a solar panel. (Government funding optional.)

 

Every Ohio vote counts. Take a moment to send your favorite Ohioan a case of tomato juice. Ohioans love tomato juice — why else would it be the state beverage?

 

If the cable news frenzy starts to give you a headache, just cover your eyes. WWJBD?

 

Pray. Sure, yoga class counts.

 

Relax and remember: This guy's on your side.
