Being required to follow both primaries for class I find myself often questioning if I am somehow no longer living in reality, but some terrible nightmare.
Hey. Worse comes to worse, you won't have a terrible time if you decide to retreat to the countryside for four years.
Sometimes you have to wonder how the USA is one of the most developed countries in the world, when the political system often appears full of complete clowns. It could be scarey how quickly progress could be made in a true democracy full of intelligent and honest politicians - or maybe the clowns are what keeps the fairground running. I doubt we will ever have the chance to find out.
Well, that's not a hard thing to imagine when you think about the US in terms of its fragmentation and bureaucracy. The insane politicians we hear about on the news aren't necessarily the ones making changes because they answer to constituency, special interests, and the like. They are honestly more like puppets these days.
