We'd Be Standin' Round with our Britches Down

Ok, so listen. We're all really, really sick of this election already. Right? I am.

Here are some things I can do without from now on:

People being terrified/amazed that someone is actually going to vote against the candidate that they themselves like.
Listen: it's about 50/50 as far as political parties go, and it has been for some time now. Just about, in fact, as long as I've been alive. Are you seriously saying that fully ONE HALF of the entire population of the country is just plain old wrong? That's 150,000,000 people. You might be able to write off half of the country as ignorant, buck-toothed and pregnant gun-toting rednecks or elitist college professor lesbian ACLU lawyers, but I can't.

We're a good country, but it's not in spite of our differences in opinions. It's because of them. The very fact that your neighbor disagrees with you is what makes things work as well as they do.

Check yourself. You know, before you wreck yourself.

Proxy Sensitivity
Seriously, your candidate has an entire staff of people who are very well paid whose job it is to make their candidate look good. You're not getting a penny of it. I know that you think you're saving the world by flying off the handle every time your pick is mentioned in even close to a negative aspect, but you're not changing any minds.

THIS
I can do without that.


Laugh at yourselves a little, no matter who you support. Laugh at them. The American Campaign is a comedic farce along the lines of a Mel Brooks movie. Go vote, sure. Research the candidates. Know them well enough to intelligently argue your point, but laugh about it.
