I can't believe the election is a thing that people can get uptight with talking about.
Take my job (please! Huehuhuh). There's always that one guy at work who'll bring up politics quite openly and freely in the break room (not me, btw; fuck off), and then, click, the crowd'll go quiet. The same braggadocios, intelligent men just minutes before become meek little church mice. I hate that someone coined a phrase "politics in the workplace don't mix," because, for what hours you're at work, what better forum to discuss issues as important and frivolous as politics? Yes, our presidential choice is important, but no, not so important that we should become uptight about the thought expressing our political motives with one another. Unless your career is in politics, we're civilians standing in the rafters watching two teams play, wearing our favorite team's sports jersey. And win or lose, we won't get the champagne celebration with the Lombardi trophy. So lighten the fuck up about the election. It happens once every 4 years and there's other games on SportsCenter every day. As looming and large as it may all seem, it's really quite minute in our daily lives. That's the election. Even the important, "groundbreaking" policies of each president's term really won't play a large role in our personal lives, they just won't and don't. So talk about it, even if you don't know what you're talking about. That's the entire point of this thing anyway.
I suppose people who are into this stuff don't really make it easy on those who aren't into it, though. Hmm. It's aggravating watching the uninformed talk politics. Beyond aggravating. Like watching your 6 year old cousin play a video game. "What the fuck are you doing! How can you suck so much!" aggravating.
Yeah, on second thought just pass the damn controller to someone who knows what the hell they're doing.
this bit of reverse-reverse psychology will no doubt work on someone. maybe i've changed a spambot's mind.
