Why Do We Give These People So Much Control Over Our Lives

Democracy, Dumbasses and Authoritarians, Election '14

In one of the most mind boggling moments in American politics ever, Florida Governor Rick Scott refused to debate his opponent, former Florida Governor Charlie Crist, because……..Crist placed a fan underneath his podium.

Scott claims that the rules forbid any electronics on stage, however Crist says that the rules didn’t ban fans on stage. Scott wouldn’t come on stage for four minutes and then after Crist ripped into him for being petty, Scott eventually came on stage.

Question is, why are we electing people who cry about fans and give them so much control over our lives?
