Random thought: Perhaps there might be something wrong with a process where people are more relieved at its conclusion rather than the actual outcome.
A friend recently said, “I can’t wait for the elections to be over, because I’m sick of the fucking television and radio ads.” I may disagree with their diction, but their sentiment resonates with a lot of people lately. After months of relentless advertisements, many just want them to stop. It’s as if the ordeal is a burden, and there’s a lot better things people could do with their time, so please let voting day come so Gossip Girl runs without interruption.
Which may not–or may be–exactly the reaction the politicos crave.
NOTE: The above entry is political as this blog gets.
