By election year, I’m talking about the American presidential election.
And it’s the worst.
Right wingers talk even louder than usual, proud to show everyone just how dumb they are.
Left wingers whisper in coffee shops, more embarrassed regarding their intellectual shortcomings.
The rest of us—stuck somewhere in the middle—are left to wonder why humans are so annoying.
Anyway, here are a few clues it’s about that time again.
