It is election day, so I should make up my mind. It isn't that I haven't been thinking on things. It's just that I'm not sure who to trust. There are problems and loopholes in every piece of legislation. My motives in this election are also tainted with the reality that I will be abroad during the new president's term. It would be so nice to not be disliked as a country. I mean, everyone likes our money. No one likes our government. It isn't that the international community should have too much say in how we do things, but it should be understandable that I'd rather be neutral than furtively disliked.

However, I'll also be living in the US for most of the term. So there's a balance to be struck.

I think election season is probably a rally of empty promises and slander that leads to the biggest popularity contest on the planet. I hope I wore the right shoes to the party.
