Tired of "Bronco Bamma" and Mitt Romney - YouTube
Tired of Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney - YouTube

"she cries that she's "tired of Bronco
Bamma and Mitt Romney."
The four-year-old has been joined by a
surprisingly large number of reporters who decided to make their living
writing about politics but can't stop complaining that the election
sucks. And they are totally and completely wrong. The YouTube clip of
crying Abby was being tweeted Wednesday morning as the perfect
distillation of how tired voters feel after all the negative ads and
stump speech zingers during the presidential election.
We'll cut a toddler some slack. But what else should we do, grownups who take
their cues from babies? Pick our governments by killing each other in
the streets? A bunch of negative ads supporting your local broadcasting
economy seems like a quite pleasant alternative to the French
Revolution. The election is being fought over big, important problems,
and people have very different ideas about how to fix them. If all
citizens officially agreed on all of them, we wouldn't be living in a
utopia, we'd be living in North Korea. Cheer up, Abby. It could be
worse."* Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss Abby's predicament, and
why even adults who like politics can relate.
