My Own Take on the Debate and Election in General

::THE THOUGHTS EXPRESSED IN THIS BLOG ARE MY OWN AND IN NO WAY REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF TOWNSQUARE MEDIA OR ANY OF IT'S STATIONS OR SUBSIDIARIES::

OK, now that that's out of the way.

Let me preface this by saying I don't support either candidate so before you go assuming by me bashing a candidate that I support the other. You will find that I dislike both candidates equally. It's sad that I have to point that out but you will have those people who love to speculate.

First off, I didn't watch the debate last night. I feel I could have gotten the same content by sitting next to a random dumpster with a can of gasoline and a pack of matches. Seriously, I associate this election with someone handing me a fork and asking me to pick which light socket I want to stick it in. Or getting kicked in the face with a pair of golf shoes and my only choices are Nike or Adidas. But, I digress.

I did catch snippets or "highlights" if you will of last night's debate and to be honest, it was everything I figured it would be. A couple of spoiled brats pointing the finger at each other trying to convince everyone else why they're better. Kind of like that thing you used to do as a kid when your sibling did something wrong but you also did something wrong and you both tried pleading with your mom to take your side...yeah, that.

Neither candidate answered a question directly. And why should they? No politician in the history of politicians has ever accomplished the apparent Herculean task of answering a direct question. And last night...you guessed it...was no different.

On one hand you have a compulsive liar. On the other, a large toddler. It's like elementary school all over again. One can't be trusted and the other isn't qualified to run a lemonade stand without the danger of bankruptcy.

One of them can't tell what a classified email is while the other likes to bully and insult people.

How did we get to this point? If this was a sick joke it's not funny anymore.

One of my favorite tweets about the election went something like this:

"The real winner is the space craft Voyager, who is hurdling away from Earth at 17km/sec"

I'm inclined to agree.

I've never really associated myself with Democrats OR Republicans. I've always voted for the lesser of the two evils but in this election I honestly can't tell which one that would be. So much wrong with both party candidates it's hard to distinguish who will f**k us up the least.

And one thing that bothers me about this entire election fiasco is the fact that we have to resort to attacking a person for being exhausted and having pneumonia or a person for sniffling and drinking water. Honestly, are we that narrow-minded that something like pneumonia or possible allergies are a target weakness in a candidate? They're both human for Christ's sake. Stop being so petty.

In a nutshell I'll wrap up my ramblings with a final thought on the whole thing. No matter who wins, we're screwed.

Or, there is an alternative...

I'm kidding of course. Or am I?
