I’m aware that there are those people who read this blog religiously, but aren’t entirely aware of who I am or what exactly I represent.
So what better way to show this… then by blogging about something I don’t know about… and something I don’t really discuss... which is politics.
It should be the big thing to blog about right now, this year will be my first chance to vote… and it’s a really big election. However, I don’t really follow politics at all… so I don’t really think I should vote, nor should I blog about things I don’t have genuine opinions on… because I don’t read news or watch conventions… or really give much of a shit.
But I dislike politics with good reason… it’s not that I’m not bright enough, or don’t believe myself bright enough to follow politics… I just hate liars.
And that’s pretty much all politics is… picking someone who you think is lying to you the least.
Listening to politics for me… is the equivalent of listening to some cheesy creep guy trying to pick up a girl by sweet talking her.
It’s disgusting to listen to because he’s saying stuff like “your eyes are so beautiful… you’re the best girl ever... there’s no one else like you… you do something to me that no other girl ever could do…”
You hear all of this… and you know there is no way this guy is genuine he is just trying to rock her shit.
He is clearly just trying to fuck and exploit her for his own benefit.
And this is the exact same shit that goes on with politics… we hear everything good that we want to hear, but never elaborations on the real politics of anything… just what sounds and looks good in the media.
Can’t anyone just say something honest…
But I don’t wanna hear any of that “Looking to make changes… wanna change the world” bullshit either... that's definitely not honest.
Politicians don’t give a shit about changes… just success and profits, if change happens while they look for that… they get some extra credit for that.
But no politicians legitimately care about changes, and it’s too bad because the people who do actually want change… are just viewed as goof-balls cause they’re sitting on lawns… eating tufts of grass and complaining about global warming and world famine and exploitation.
These people aren’t exactly legitimately doing anything to push the change… just blogging, writing some books they don’t advertise because they disagree with commercialism and whatnot… blah blah blah you get it...
I think I made my point clear… I just hate dishonest, exploitative, career-concerned politics.

McCain and Obama breaks down to this: far right vs. far left. Rarely is it shown as well as here.
Right: Everybody is responsible for themselves, the system is good and it will sort out the problems via active involvement of its population voting or buying (the dollar vote) things that they agree with.
Left: The system (republic government and free market economy: capitalism) works, but not perfectly. There needs to be a strong safety net in place for those who fall through the cracks. The brunt of this financial burden will be paid by those with the highest incomes because they have apparently exploited the system to get there in the first place.
I don't think you should vote based on broad generalizations, but maybe watching this election here and there can serve as a primer for your future political involvement.
With respect to the pandering and lack of original thought from politicians: it's a chicken and egg problem.
The media trails politicians for months and months. They get bored of hearing the same shit over and over. The only thing that gets big coverage will be the "bloopers" of politics: misspoken lines, changes in position, feuds, etc.
Politicians are afraid of this because it really hurts their chances when minor mistakes become inflated by the media to these huge fiascos. As a result, they stay as verbatim as possible to their pre-determined talking points. This in turn makes the media even more bored.
