I wish presidential elections made our lives better. The occasional candidate appears, gets my hopes up, I dream of them winning, then The Machine takes over, takes those candidates over, and we are right back where we started. Over, and over, and over again.

I wish the internet could be utilized to educate us. I dream of being able to discover facts and truths with the swiftness of a click. And then, we have the Twitter Files to teach us we can only know as fact what some NGO says is fact.
