Get the election mug.
The worst system of choosing among candidates for public office -- except for all the others.
"The turnout for the election wasn't even 40% of eligible voters. The winner got a slight majority of that, so four out of five people DIDN'T vote for him. So from that he concludes he has a popular 'mandate'?!"

humorous misspelling of "erection" that got memed into a real thing as a joke, but it's no longer funny. People try very hard to rise up to the top, then whoever wins at these "dick measuring contests" will usually screw us over and make a mess. Some weirdos like to watch them come and win
this election is painful to watch, these dickheads are really overcompensating with their absurd promises of growth, as if they'll be able to deliver

Something that's rigged worse than a carnival dart game.
That dick didn't even win the popular vote, but won the election.

Third-wave antiracist social justice warriors that take themselves too seriously and believe their cause is important enough that it warrants hurting other people, and sometimes destroying their lives, over even the smallest political correctness faults, especially on Twitter. The term was coined by Joseph Bottum and popularized by John McWhorter.
"We will term these people The Elect. They do think of themselves as bearers of a wisdom, granted them for any number of reasons—a gift for empathy, life experience, maybe even intelligence. But they see themselves as having been chosen, as it were, by one or some of these factors, as understanding something most do not." -- John McWhorter

Get the The Elect mug.
A system where two people that represent the rich minority compete to see who can trick more people that they are actually going to do something in their interests.
Why the fuck vote? We all know whoever wins is going to be a Republican/Democrat and they're both going to tell us that they represent the working man while fucking everyone but the rich.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
