It's so fucking infuriating that practically every election, if it were possible, "did not vote" would win the presidency.

We're always looking at some stupidly close, razor margins bullshit, when there's a MASSIVE group of people that unfortunately just couldn't possibly give a shit less....

Plenty of people who don't vote give a shit, but feel that neither party gives a shit about them. Blame those who keep offering up shit candidates instead of those who won't bend over and be coerced into voting for shit candidates.

I vote that if "did not vote" wins, that means "nobody" wins, and therefore "nobody" is president for 4y, try again next time.

I also vote that we as a country take a que from Talkeetna, AK. We should elect a cat president, if one can be mayor why not? And a cat will do better than any human I've met, so..

They would have to be 35 and a natural born citizen. Maybe a turtle or a parrot would work?

Fair, turtle it is, parrot too "can talk" to be president.

That's the point. It's important these people think that each election is between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

It's why Bernie wasn't allowed to win any primaries.

Last elections were between stale bread with wilted lettuce and a turd sandwich covered in diarrhea with lead flakes and pube sprinkles.

And millions of Americans still think they're the same. I guess sabotaging education for 50 years really works.
