Gosh, I’ll be glad the day after tomorrow. Wednesday will finally see the end of trashy commercials. But maybe I’m the only one who’s tired of those ads that drag political opponents through the muck and mire [since politicians still run them and still get votes]. And all those folk who’ve been saying they’ll move to Canada will finally get on with it.
Come Wednesday, I’m sure there’ll be a lot of people upset and a lot of people overjoyed. But, at the end of the day, we still have a government with two sides staunchly opposed to one another and who refuse to work together except in the most extreme and dire circumstances.
I’m not saying don’t vote {if you don’t show up, someone will vote for you}. I’m just saying that we need better ads. More that focus on why you’re a good candidate and less on why your opponent sucks. Sure, I see a lot more of the vitriolic stuff from one side over the other, but I’ve seen it from both sides (just vote third party {lol no}).
And what’s with all those people claiming they’ll move to Canada if the Republicans win again? Didn’t they say the same when Trump won? I’m not sure if these are credible threats.
I mean, seriously, does anyone care if Barbara Streisand moves to Canada? Pretty sure we only care if Justin Bieber does [but Canada doesn’t want him either].
If you like Canada more, just move there. No need to plaster it on every billboard and shout it from the rooftops. It’s a personal choice like which jeans you wear, how much coffee you drink, and whether or not you want to see America burn or just Washington D.C. …er, that took a darker turn than expected. Oops. Got a little too Joker, there. Because in Joker’s America, if someone disagrees with you, just firebomb them.
But we live in actual America. As much as I’d like to live in Superman’s America where idealism and courage, truth, justice, and Kryponians are valued, I have to face facts. America is where I live. Not the idealized city-state, not the dystopian anarchy, not even the technological empire or the steampunk kingdom that’d be super cool, but regular old, U.S. of A. Still pretty great, though [just not always good].
So vote, don’t vote, that’s your choice. Just know that if I saw an ad for someone who tore another person down, I’m not voting for them. So, that makes it pretty easy to tell who I voted for.
{Don’t believe the polls, the media, or the early numbers. No one has a landline anymore. Rarely does anyone answer the phone for a number they don’t know. And nobody takes those political “vote for me” surveys. And, as far as I know, only one party suppresses the will of their constituents while actively campaigning as the party of the people (as they say in some parts of America, “Vote early, vote often” [that’s how democracy works, right?].).}
