Come on, America
I've been listening to the radio and all of the massive Obama vs. Clinton snarking.
Why, I wonder, after this last Presidency, is America so ready to step right into another one? I really think we should take a break. This guy treated us like shit for eight years. Why are we so ready to let someone else hurt us? Maybe we should just give up the election scene for awhile and try to find out who we really are. Take some time off; get out more. Maybe we aren't even really a Democratic Republic! Did we ever think of that? Maybe Presidents just don't do it for us. I think we just need some "us" time before jumping right into another Presidency. That's all.

Hmm... I dunno if that's an option. Kinda frightening suggestion. Are we ready for that kind of commitment. I mean, they always say that if it's not going right in the first relationship, there's no reason to throw in a second one. Everything will go to hell...

No way man, one president gives us enough STDs as it is.

Hmmm. Government broken, add more politicians?

Don't think that will work any better than it does with normal relationships. ;)

Ha . . . excellent.

And maybe we should just be presided around for a while, you know? Maybe we just take too much attention for a single president to handle? I know that's not really your thing, but I want to be able to love more than one president at a time!

I know! I mean, we're a big country. We have a lot of love to share. It might be just too much for one person to handle.

Obama, Hilary, Mitt... I'm really sorry guys. I mean, I know that we were heading that way and all the signs were there. I know that we were open to the idea. We really weren't sending mixed signals, but that's how you took it. What I'm trying to say is... it's not you, it's us, and can we please still be friends?

All this election noise has me feeling like a moth pinned to a bit of balsa wood - shuddering at the thought of something sharp impaling me useless. Fucking useless democratic process.

That's fine. We're going to have date around a bit, so we may as well redo the place anyway.
