The following are altogether preposterous and illegitimate reasons–if you can call them reasons at all–for voting for a particular candidate for president: you know, that job where they give you the nuclear missile launch codes.

She’s a woman.
He says he’s a woman.
He’s black.
She’s Hispanic.
He/she comes from my home state.
It’s time we had XYZ minority member in the White House.

He really wants it, and has been disappointed so many times…
I had a baby-sitter just like her when I was little, and she was really nice.
My favorite movie star says I should vote for this candidate.
I don’t care if he’s a serial killer with the mind of a tomato worm–I always vote Democrat.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe…

I don’t know about you, but I don’t always want what I deserve. Not even sure what that looks like. But I can’t think that people shouldn’t be allowed to vote because they’re different from me. There are requirements for voting rights. Not everyone gets to mark a ballot. I’m so glad Christ didn’t say, well, Nancy, you’re going to get what you deserve.
