I Hate Election Season

And for a variety of reasons.

"Who cares about his principles? I care about his positions."
"I'm the right man for the job."
"I will secure America."
"She feels my pain."
"It is time for change."
"Healthcare is a right everyone should enjoy."
"He's the most electable candidate."
"Experience matters."

The most prominent reason, however, is the forest of paper, countless of keystrokes, and hundreds of thousands of people who stare at the polls, caucus results, and final voting tallies and see something more than the aggregate expressed preferences of a percentage of eligible people who want to appoint someone to run our lives.

Fucking nauseating.
