Let me just say that this election season has been terrible. If this season had a symbol, it would be a dumpster fire. As a huge "House of Cards" fan, I'm beginning to think actual, literal murderer Frank Underwood isn't the worst choice. WARNING: This probably contains spoilers, but it's been months since the last season came out so it's on you from here on out.

Let's start with Underwood's entire platform: America Works. Granted, many real-life economic experts have declared this ludicrous and impossible, but it proves that he's a go-getter. Underwood isn't all talk promising walls or free college; he's getting ahold of the problem. On a separate note, can you imagine Bernie Sanders and Frank Underwood debating? "Yeah, I'm all for free healthcare" vs "You deserve nothing." You can be assured that President Underwood would stick to his word and get to the bottom of America's issues.

Frank Underwood is a moderate and doesn't let party lines define his policies. Can you imagine a Democrat fighting a teacher's union? Or telling people they don't deserve anything? Exactly. Underwood isn't here to please his party, just to do what he thinks is best. Unlike the current nominees, Frank Underwood would not be a flip-flopper.

Not to mention that Underwood is scary as hell, even if you didn't know he was a cold-blooded killer. I can't watch any "House of Cards" trailers without chills down my spine. When he knocks his ring on the desk after he's announced president? Only slightly ashamed to say I jumped. If I was a world leader and Underwood gave me his variation of the Johnson Treatment, I would probably give up. Maybe it's a good idea I'm not pursuing politics. Plus, you probably have to be at least a little terrifying to be Majority Whip. What do we have now? A former senator trying to communicate to the youth with memes and emojis and then we also have a screaming orange monster from Queens. This election is a "Saturday Night Live" skit and we need a leader who means business.

Underwood's experience and background is unmatched. He grew up poor on a South Carolinian farm with an alcoholic father. Not the best circumstances. Despite the cards (get it?) he's dealt, he graduated from an acclaimed military academy and Harvard Law School. Mommy and daddy didn't pull connections; Underwood worked hard. This hard work pays off when he starts his political career. His 22 years of experience in Congress shows that he knows how the political system works. America needs an experienced leader, and Underwood is that man.

Don't forget Underwood's strategy. He's failed quite a few times, but still is effective in certain aspects. Take him picking Claire as Vice President of the United States, for example. He knew his poll numbers were low, so taking Claire generated a surge. "Louisa, do you even watch "House of Cards"? She was terrible as the ambassador! How would she be good at anything else?" I don't appreciate the condescending tone, but let's be honest: the Vice President of the United States only goes to funerals and waves to the masses. I mean, at least when the president doesn't die in office. But that's not the point. Look at Joe Biden, aka America's goofy uncle. He doesn't really need to do anything besides be likable and be trustworthy. Does Underwood trust anyone as much as Claire? Plus, Claire is pretty likable. Boom: high poll numbers.

This November, we have to make a decision on the leader of the Free World. Unfortunately, this can't be Frank Underwood since he doesn't exist. This won't stop me watching "House of Cards" wishing I was hearing Kevin Spacey's southern drawl addressing the (real world) American people.
