This political season has been tough for me. So far, I've avoided thinking about it by focusing on giving congressional offices an earful about the $700 billion they just flushed down the toilet.
Eventually, I had to make a choice. Both candidates seem to want to repeat the mistakes of the Great Depression, but my friends urged me not to "throw my vote away" on a third party. I didn't know what to do, and I started to feel a little distraught.
Then I saw the ObamaBot and realized I was overthinking things.
I need to be more like that robot. Waving signs. Spouting prerecorded sound bites. After all, this is a movement, and everyone wants to be a part of something big.
Who could argue with the thousands of stickers and signs on campus? It's time for me to stop worrying about empty political promises or the $35,000 of debt each of us owes.
It's time to join the winning team.
