Now, I'm all paranoid about being misread on a hasty remark (not saying I have been, but just in case...).

I meant the historical aspect of these upcoming elections moves me emotionally--for deeply personal reasons. Reasons that will have nothing to do with the candidate I will choose to support.

What I meant by not pretending it doesn't move me, is that I'm also not going to fake that it's business as usual. To do so downplays all the struggles that made this election so significant to begin with.
