Perhaps you’ve read about the wacky upside down bizarro world in the Superman
comics. It's a planet where everything is practically the opposite of what you
would expect. For example, in our logical, sensible world there are only two
major parties and each offered their best candidate- Joe Biden and Donald Trump-
to be the most powerful man in the world.
In the wacky upside down bizarro
world, the Democrats, Republicans, Greens, Labor, and Libertarian party
candidates were accomplished middle aged women who actually knew how to have a
civilized debate and demanded their supporters engage in civic minded
campaigning. Can you imagine it? No shouting matches, name-calling and petty
insults. Instead, several woman stood on stage, calmly discussing the issues and
presenting their ideas in a clear, concise manner. It's enough to make your head
spin!
But wait, it gets even more twisted! Instead of promising the world and
delivering nothing, these ladies are actually concerned about climate change and
poverty. All believe in the germ theory of infectious disease. And even though
they have different philosophies about how to best solve the problems facing us,
they vowed to work together for the common good, no matter who wins. After
agreeing that US elections have wasted billions of dollars on political
consultants and spreading misinformation, they're even donating 1/2 of their
campaign funds and staff time to fighting poverty!
Unfortunately, none of them
won. Instead the results were determined by a reality TV show called "America's
Next Top President,” the winner being Donald Elizabeth Trump.
Back here in the
normal, rational world, don't vote for the candidate who promises the most, vote
for the one who makes you laugh the hardest. Because let's face it, we could all
use a good laugh in politics these days.
