“Well, we’ve reached another electoral milestone. After two years of campaigning, fewer than 50 days now remain until Americans go to the voting booths, wait for the polls to close, endure hours of election coverage followed by days of uncertainty, followed by lawsuits and the potential for political unrest. God, time flies when you’re having fun. Why do we do this to ourselves? … Why not simplify the whole thing? Here’s my proposal. I call it ‘2Pac,’ which stands for ‘Two months to Pick A Candidate.’ One month for primaries. One month for the general election. Two months. Look, I understand it takes longer than that for the Bachelorette to hand out her final rose, and that decision is, arguably, less important than picking a president. But The Bachelorette is only one hour per week.” (09/18/24)
