I have been watching this political “slow motion train crash” for over a year now. Who is worse? I won't get into that because that seems to always be the cop-out. They should both be great. We should be picking the 2 best people in America to “lead” the country; but we’re not. Far from that.
Like South park so delicately phrased it. This is an election between a “giant douche” and a “turd sandwich”. The system leaves us no other choice. Not even the 2 other third party members can bring a ray of hope because of this take all scheme. Well, I call your bluff.
These 2 candidates are being interviewed for a job. If we’re employing one and no one likes the applicants for the job, I say we go for another round. What if we all wrote “Re-Do” on our ballots? What if we all refused to play this sick game. The people are the ones hiring the president. Sorry, but nobody likes this. There’s no need to be punished just because there's a flawed process that went wrong and gave us 2 of the most disliked humans on the face of the United States. Sorry, but I’m sure there are safeguards to protect the public against a flawed policy when it triumphs over reason. This is a country picking it’s leader, not a reality show. Lets use another approach to picking our President.
The system was set up to help us. I think it's obvious it no longer does, so let's do something else. Many countries have several rounds of elections. We wouldn't be the first. We can do something as simple as just moving the election date back. I’m okay with keeping Obama a little longer. There are many other options, but with less than a month to go, before it’s too late, every single one of us that doesn’t like this one bit should stand up and say, “RE-DO!”
