8 Tweets That Sum Up How Everyone Is Already OVER This Election
How many times have you tuned in to some election news in the last several months and immediately pulled a horrified face, recoiling from what appeared to be a dark parody of American politics? Like, f’real, this election is never-ending! And the parties HAVEN’T EVEN PICKED THEIR NOMINEES!
There’s still a full half-year left of this, and if the likely candidates move on to the general election, it’s going to be a very ugly several months indeed. After all, Donald Trump has already accused Hillary Clinton of using her “woman card” to gain support, and they’re technically not even running against each other yet.

We can take comfort in knowing that we aren’t the only ones feeling confused and terrified. Here are a few choice responses to the campaign circus to get you through a few more weeks!

look on the bright side, at least in 100 years when population outpaces our capacity to grow food this election won't seem like a big deal
