...the first Black President.

If you believe in your candidate and are committed to him/her, you wait as long as you have to in order to vote.

I suspect many of those (and there weren't all that many anyway) who couldn't be bothered to stick around were jonesing from being away from their keyboards or video games too long.

Voting should be easier. It shouldn't require taking a day off of work. The outrage here, however, is selective. It's clear the issue isn't lines but that Bernie didn't win.
