You don’t need to identify with a candidate.

The 2020 presidential election in the US is overbearing. There are daily, hourly updates of breaking news. The current campaigns interleave with other news and the current president’s unending twitter stream. Everything is turned into a campaign issue. It’s maddening and many of us just want to find someone to vote for who will represent us, who is like us, who we can identify with.

I think that’s a mistake.
