6 November 2012

   Election day, and the race has never been tighter in an already really tight election. I urge you to go out and vote. For, you know, whomever. Quite frankly I'd like to see what would happen if either candidate wins. That'd be fun to watch. Ooh, ideally, we should split up the timeline so that in one universe one candidate wins and in the other the other wins. I guess you would then have to decide which one to live in? Which is what we're doing anyway, and how voting even works, only now the world exists without the guys who voted the other way. Wow, that's actually pretty high concept. And I don't think that would work because the very idea of an election is to appeal to the masses, instead of doing just whatever with the group that would already support you. You're stuck with whoever got voted in even if your guy loses. That makes sense. Okay.

   But, no, voters aren't suicidal. I guess I was kind of getting into that conspiracy theory mindset when I suspected that. This is a crazy critical time in the election, and both candidates have prepared for it by... playing parodies of themselves. Not like the SNL caricatures, as funny as that would probably be. (How's this year's? Any good?) But you can tell exactly how they'd react in any given situation. Mitt Romney is Mitt Romney. You can expect him to do exactly Mitt Romney things. And vice versa.
