I now realize how much election years suck when you're on a college campus. I have people emailing me left and right asking to join their little political organizations. Obviously the Democrats and Republicans are the most entertaining since they slam each other into oblivion. Then there are the fence sitters like the Green Party and Independents who just like to sit down and discuss what's wrong with the country and the ideals of freedom, liberty, justice, etc. but really don't do much beyond talking. (Although you can't do much against the Democratic/Republican juggernaut anyways) Honestly I'm not sure if I want to be affiliated with any of these groups because everyone thinks that they're the right ones.
I suppose some people just feel the need to be included in some special group where everyone agrees with them so they feel accepted, can inflate their egos and feel like their opinions on life are validated.
I can't wait until the elections are over so I don't have to hear anymore political crap everywhere I turn.
