The Walking Dead Voters

So it's the end of the world. You think you got bit by a zombie. On your hand. You believe it's only a matter of time before you become a zombie. But you aren't sure.

Do you cut it off? Do you do nothing and risk it? And you have two people with you. One of them is great with a knife, but the knife is dirty and rusty and could cause more infection, and they also seem pretty damn eager to cut.

Another one is more cautious; they don't want to do anything because they need better equipment, more time to assess the situation, and know there is a risk of bleeding out. So they tourniquet your arm to slow down the circulation.

And of course there is always someone who says you can just cut it off yourself, but you are not good with a knife and you will probably pass out in the process.

And this is what voting for a presidential candidate is like. It seems incredibly urgent, world-changing, life-saving and most of all, incredibly divisive.

But just remember, a zombie didn't bite you because zombies aren't real. It's not the end of the world. And no human being decides your future.

But still, you should vote.
