Can't we replace all of this nonsense with some sort of cage match?

I feel like the election has been going on for years.

Wait, I think it actually has...

I find myself really annoyed by politics lately. And by lately I mean since the presidential campaign started, sometime last year. I understand that this is a huge country, and reaching out to voters takes time, traveling, money, positive tv ads, attacking the other guy tv ads, more money, debates, more traveling, more money, and apparently the rest of my patience for these people.

Aside from idiotic rhetoric and general douchebaggery, I think my main problem is this:

Don't these people have jobs? Jobs serving the public? Jobs they should be doing instead of spending months and months in what amounts to a huge job interview for a higher position? I know that some aren't currently holding jobs as elected officials, but it seems like all the front-runners are. You and I couldn't do that at our jobs, we'd get fired. They just get more attention on their fund raising efforts.

What does this say about their presidency? Will they spend all of their time first trying to be reelected then trying to be appointed to some cushy ambassadorship?

Of course they will, who am I kidding?

So it looks like this is just the way it is, at least until the robots with zombie brains finally take over. Or November, but I think my option is better.
