[The Horrible Esthete]

Can I just throw in my two cents that I find it extremely depressing that Canadians seem to be generally more excited about these American elections than Americans.

Don't let it depress you. Canadians always seem more "excited" about our elections.

Why?

Dunno for sure, but the last time around, I decided that it's because our general elections do, of course, have a level of impact on our northern neighbors (as well as the rest of the world), yet the only hand they have in steering the outcome is through being extremely vocal.

I'd probably seem more "into" it all if I knew I couldn't express myself through casting an actual vote. But since I do get to vote, all I can do is wring my hands moan until it comes time to vote for the lesser of two evils.
