Campaign Workers Should Plead Insanity

Yet Another Whining Editorial

(Chicago) Campaign workers, still convinced that their chosen candidate represents the panacea, the solution, should plead insanity when confronted with recent childish behavior during the elections.

Comparing typical responses of enthusiasm to canned laughter, critics of the process say opiated followers only encourage politicians to ignore the real issues and allow these charade masters to misrepresent the truth.

 “These glazed over straw hat provincials are the core of what’s wrong with our electoral process,” said one political analyst who has already projected a winner in the 2024 and 2028 Presidential races.

To many delegates and party-liners the whole process is just a big party. The association with a given candidate gives the volunteer worker a does of validity in an otherwise often stumblebum existence. They ride the coat-tails of their chosen one to victory, claiming that they had a small part. Their responses are inappropriate, their souls tainted by the two-party system. Most couldn’t pass a high school civics test.

They cheer enthusiastically when their candidate spouts more tired rhetoric or passes wind. It’s all the same to them. The politician promises to help the farmers…They cheer madly. He/she pledges relief for the working poor…The house comes down. The candidate paints a picture of himself as the messiah…They are brought to the edge of righteousness, tears in their blind eyes.
