Why Do Both Of My Choices Suck On Election Day?
I voted!
It should be an amazing feeling. It should feel great to give your vote of confidence to a candidate who you think will lead America into a brighter future.
Instead I feel like I just ate a turd sandwich.
I feel dirty inside. I feel like I did something wrong.
Everybody always tells you to vote, but when both candidates have a bevy of reasons to NOT vote for them, well, it’s like that meme where the guy can’t figure out which red button to press.
“Nobody is a neutral-willed donkey, son.”
That’s something my Mom loves to tell me. What it means is, we lean one way or the other in every decision we make even if we believe we’re undecided. Next time you come up against an impossible decision, act like somebody’s pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to choose.
You’ll make a decision in record time, I promise you.
I’m sorry for the visual, but this election sure feels like somebody’s put my finger on the launch button of two nuclear weapons, forcing me to press one.
