Our double standard
Election season is here, and I can hear your collective groan. We’re still recovering from the national trauma of a seemingly never-ending campaign season, and again our doors, walls, and email accounts are plastered with posters demanding of us to exercise our civic right (read: duty) to vote. When I returned to my room late Sunday evening, I found notes from numerous candidates, telling me why they would be the best person for the job or just reminding me that they have a name, they exist, and they really want to represent me.
