Election Anxiety [marginalia.08] Gif, 736 x 566 px x 2 (2024) // (Note: We in no way condone setting ballot boxes on fire) While election anxieties are common in many modern democracies, the US is unique in that they lack direct elections for president. As a result, people in the US suffer from acute cases of election anxiety and fatigue. These symptoms are triggered by unique conditions: a 250-year-old gamified voting system designed to give rural states disproportionate power, non-stop election campaign cycles in the news media, a widespread decrease in the reliability of polling data, a duopolistic stranglehold on election infrastructure by two privatized political entities (the DNC and the GOP), and novel attempts at voter suppression ranging from bureaucratic maneuvers to setting ballot boxes on fire. It's a volatile mix that leaves an entire populace on edge. Regardless of the outcome, we are all happy for it to be over. At least temporarily. // > Created in Deluxe Paint IV on an emulated Amiga A1200 computer. // Artwork by Sabato Visconti // www.sabatobox.com // @sabatobox //
