It's a cathartic experience, and there's something beautiful about knowing that the opinions of the people around you have neither more nor less power behind them than your own. |
I actually find it alarming that the dumb and uninformed people of the nation have as much influence over an election as the intelligent and informed. That seems to be one of the biggest mistakes ever. The only reason it tends to function is because of the two-party system with near-equivalent demographics. At least when you're on a plane and not in control of the situation, you know the pilot is qualified. Elections are like Joe Six pack flying your airplane, it's terrifying.
