American Politics Briefly Re-Enter My LiveJournal
Clarification of things vaguely discussed in reale.
In these elections, the furthest left I can go is the Democratic Party. As always. Currently, the nation is divided between two potential nominees; each with individual virtues observable through the media and others' blogs.
As an 'artistic' person, my natural magnetization is to the more charismatic figure. As a 'leftist', my natural trust is of the people-oriented figure. Senator Barack Obama would get my vote, were I in a position that permitted me to vote.
Natural instincts aside, however; a politician's rhetoric is only good until he is office, and no figure can be entirely people-oriented without being volunteered forth by the people.
There has been much discussion of Clinton's ostensible experience, as well as her greater corruption. There have also been parallels drawn between Obama's galvanizing abilities and the Bush Administration's fear-mongering tactics employed after 11.09.01. Both have weight and potential truth. Both have received a great deal of my pondering.
However; simply put, I am an involuntary non-voter. This government has given me no right, despite my fourteen years in this country and honest interest in its doings, to cast a ballot for a representative of any ideology or action. Hence, I am unbound by standard politics. I can support the figure that my natural instincts alone dictate. Perhaps one day he will give me my vote.

I do not believe I will sorely regret my belief in this candidate. Despite his obvious reliance on the elusive concept of Hope, I cannot pretend to be otherwise.
Senator Obama, what can you do to help dissolve the legitimate uncertainty that runs subliminally through these hearts and minds? We want to follow you with every fiber of our beings; help us. We are prepared to aim for higher, more radical goals as long as you prove to be able to land us somewhere near them.
Voluntary voters, think. I am not riling you up. But if fear of inexperience is all that is hindering you, keep in mind.
He is one man. We are many.
If he can't do it,
Yes. We can.
We still can.
Ina.
