So I am in the point in my life where I am transitioning from the point where I would blindly follow the words of my parents as the absolute truth and where I think for myself. I am finding the more and more i research the political parties I am much more disheartened and discouraged. There are so many lies and so much corruption on both sides it almost seems to me to ask the question "what's the point? will this really make any difference?" I look at one political party and see the things wrong with it, whether it be the ignorance on excepting a certain group of people or whether it be the pompus attitude of having the "look at me aaren't i soo0o0o0 accepting". To me it all seems like such a big lie. I think I am probably leaning more towards being slightly liberal in thinking but then there are a lot of things I find wrong with that side of the political spectrum. Every time I try looking towards the right I see that even though many of their arguments are from the heart and they do mean well, they don't have that much weight to them. All in all I kinda think the whole voting process is kinda flawed. I mean we have systems in place to make the vote for us when the "people get it wrong". So really we still have no say on how the government is to be run. As much as it annoyed me how much people were like Bush wasn't supposed to be president...it was true ...he lost the general election he didn't win the first one Gore did and the electorate college pretty much said the American people didn't know what we were talking about and made Bush the president. So yea I know you might call me one of those horrible haters or whatever but no it is disheartening we are just lulled into a false sense of responsibility...where in fact we are spoon fed ideals and lies in which to believe...this is probably why i haven't registered to vote...probably might take me quite some time to bring myself to do so ...even then i would probably check the box that states "decline to state" ....when the day comes where i do not ask myself if this is all worth it to be fed the lies from the government maybe i will be more direct with declaring something until then...i'd rather not vote....
UPDATE: I REGISTERED TO VOTE RECENTLY AND I REGISTERED AS DECLINE TO STATE.... sooo still couldn't think of a side to go to sooo not even registered as an independent haha

ReplyDeleteInterestingly enough, if America was a direct democray, we would of had that idiot Gore (and that global warming bs) in office. The government wasn't set up as direct democracy though.
Even though the system is flawed in many ways, it could be worse.
