#HowDoICrushMyOpponentWithHashtags

Make no mistake, citizens, the battle for the country will be won and lost on Twitter and hashtags will be the weapons! Each side will arm themselves with ephemeral catchphrasery signified by the shield of the pound sign. For years, unused by the masses the crosshatch of truth shall once more reign over public discourse - if one knows how to wield it. Luckily for those who don't, The Atlantic has a piece profiling the mighty non-alphanumeric character so that even the least informed tweet may not go unread. Soldier on, twitter-bug, soldier on.
