Presidential elections require us to answer big questions about the future of America, like: What do we want the U.S. to be? But this fractious fight seems to have produced more questions than usual—and different kinds, too. Not just "Who should I vote for?" but "Is there even a candidate for me? What's gone wrong? Is there a better way to do this?" Luckily there are plenty of writers on Medium to help you navigate through the fog of political war.
