There I was, nestled deep into my favorite chair, a glass of Japanese whisky resting on the table, neat, beside me, contemplating the endless theater of American politics. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time as a Navy SEAL and from my many wild nights of literature and philosophy, it’s that the current state of our political system is a lot like watching a never-ending circus where the geriatric clowns have taken control.

The inmates are running the asylum, and we, the American taxpayers, have given these idiots a blank checkbook. We really have no one to blame but ourselves, but it’s time to end the political dumpster dive experiment.

Both the Republicans and the Democrats, in their grand dance of deception, continue to let us down, like a pair of old, worn-out shoes that never quite fit right and always give you blisters. The promises roll out every election season, coated in the candy floss of campaign rhetoric, only to melt away under the harsh light of reality. As a nation, we’ve been stuck on a carousel, spinning in circles, with the same old tunes playing, election after election.

Now, let’s talk about election reform. The current system is akin to choosing your dinner from a menu that only offers two dishes – and both are past their expiration date. Isn’t it about damn time we reshuffle this menu? A system that allows for more voices, more choices, and more accurate representation might just serve us a dish we can stomach. The Republicans and Democrats have had their time in the kitchen; maybe it’s time for some new chefs?
