The Simpsons: 10 Best Ever Treehouse Of Horror Stories
1. Citizen Kang (Treehouse of Horror VII)
Another of the rare occasions when the Treehouse of Horror got satirical, Citizen Kang is a searing indictment of the reductive nature of a two-party political system (It makes no difference which one of us you vote for.
Either way, your planet is doomed. DOOMED!), the empty sloganeering of election season (We must go forward, not backward. Upward, not downward. And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom), and the transparent populism of the career politician (Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others).
It really comes to something when, faced with a choice of voting for one of two aliens with despotic designs on taking over Earth and enslaving the population, most people would still turn their noses up at voting for a third party candidate. Poor old Ross Perot, he gets no luck.
