American Hypocrisy

Now that the Democratic primaries are over, it’s election season again, which means it’s time for America’s favorite game show; Who Wants To Be a Hypocrite.

It’s time to listen to the party voters explain how they aren’t party voters and how, after much soul searching and deep thought on the issues of the day, they have decided to once again vote for the party they have always voted for and always will vote for.

It’s time to undertake deep, penetrating analysis of which candidate we are emotionally predisposed to based on ethnicity, gender, familiarity or unresolved daddy issues and make up as many reasons for everyone else to vote for them as possible.

It’s time to watch the poor and barely-not-poor vote against their own economic interests based solely on a misidentification with the candidate that most closely matches the paternalistic fantasy they have created for themselves.

It’s time to discuss whether or not the American populace is too stupid to vote rather than discuss the pertinent issues of the day.
