Louis C.K. sums up this year's 'insane' election in one analogy

Despite getting into some recent trouble for comparing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to Hitler, Louis C.K. said he is still compelled to share his feelings on this year's election.

"Celebrities saying things politically is obnoxious, because you've got a bullhorn that was given to you for one reason and you used that bullhorn for something else," C.K. said in new interview with New York magazine. "But also I think when there's somebody as terrible as Trump running, you're a little bit of a coward by keeping it to yourself if you're really concerned about it."

When the comedian was asked to describe his feelings for Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, he acknowledged that Sanders "jars something loose in our system and something exciting happens." But in the end, he believes that Clinton's experience would get more things done.

But even if there's no other reason to appreciate C.K.'s take on this year's election, his use of a very insightful analogy about flying planes in this interview would be enough.
