So the elections are right around the corner. The Democrats have hammered on the Republicans. The Republicans have hammered on the Democrats. The other party’s wonder how to get in on the gravy train.
Millions upon millions have been spent to get Joe Blow elected in whatever state. TV & Radio blitz is never ending. I assume print media has ads also. You Tube & Facebook are covered in political ads.
Has anybody here had their opinion changed by these ads? Did you change your vote because you thought he or she was cute? You liked their suit or dress? As far as I can tell those would be the only reason to change your vote. Both parties are running nothing but attack ads. Neither has offered a solution or alternative to what we have in office.
People complain about the decisiveness of the country. The reason is nobody gets off their butts to do actual research on what the candidates and parties stand for. Like lemmings they follow what they see on TV or on social media. Ask yourselves this…..are your family members that much smarter than you? Are your friends that much more educated on the issues? Are the people (or bots) online that much better informed than you are? The simple answer is no. Nobody else should be determining your lot in life without your input.
You have time. Do the research find out what these candidates stand for and then hold them accountable for their actions.
You are letting big business run your life from the voting polls, it’s time to be responsible for yourself.
No response to this is required, however thinking about your vote is required
