I'll be honest, I guess you aren't looking, because if you think this election is just the same as every one before it then you need to go back and look again.
Do yourself a favor and watch the news tonight. Read a newspaper tomorrow morning.

Again, start watching the news. Starting reading the newspapers. Start looking at news sites online. If you don't like the information that surrounds you, then surround yourself with different information.
