If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.

A sardonic one-liner about electoral dissatisfaction: it jokes that the choices offered by politics are so uninspiring that, if voting were truly a divine intention, better “candidates” would exist. The humor hinges on a mock-theological premise to express a secular cynicism—suggesting voters often feel trapped between poor options and that the act of voting can seem futile or performative. As with much late-night political comedy, the line functions less as a literal argument against democracy than as a punchy way to vent frustration with the quality of political leadership and the perceived gap between civic ideals and real-world campaigns.
