Election weekend gaming

I know the rule is -no politics-since we can't even talk about Ghostbusters without flaming each other.
Can we keep it about video games? I will be positive, but Nate Silver predicts this thread will be locked or deleted by midnight. Fair warning then to try to post video game thoughts only.
If you are in America, you may have heard we have an election coming up in a few days. Since some of us select games based on seasons or events like shark week, is anyone choosing a game this weekend affected by the election? Either embracing it or actively ignoring it?
There is a Commodore 64 strategy game called President Elect, but I don't think I have the patience for an SSI game right now.
Instead i might play RISK on the Genesis. Is it just the world map? Is there one with a United States map? I cannot explain it, but I have enjoyed RISK on the Genesis far more than it probably merits. I think its just a world map though.
Or embrace the wackiness and play Joust. What are good home ports of Joust out there? Flying ostriches seem appropriate. I cannot recall if I even own NES Joust, which would seem a good ....platform...for Joust.
Or maybe Archon. Archon fits this bizarre election cycle pretty well. Its been awhile since I played Archon.
