Like some cruel, pointless joke and I'm waiting for the punchline...

This election just saddens me. It used to fill me with passion and anger and now it's driven me to the point of sheer hopelessness. Most of the people that I talk to tell me, "Well if [insert candidate] wins, at least we'll be less screwed than [insert opposite candidate]!" which tells me that no one really likes either person at all. In fact, a large amount of people interviewed on the news the other day said that this may be the first time they voted because there's actually a candidate they could vote for. I am still waiting for a candidate to represent me, which would be to represent both "democratic" and "republican" views.
Or maybe we have just completely surrendered to our apathy.

"We need a black, lesbian, woman running for the green party."
"That would be interesting.."
"Yea. At least until they are assassinated...."

What annoys me about it is how they dance about the questions. Like the debates for example. )=
