Are Obama and Clinton really THAT different? Really, people.
OMG, my last post was in July. ;_;
I was thinking about politics and the upcoming election and I realized something about how I deal with these things.
I really couldn't care less about the debates. Or the campaign ads, or the candidates, or their mudslobbing, or whatever. I know I vote Democrat (and don't start yelling at me for not saying "Democratic," or I will beat you down!) and I know that no matter which candidate is running, I will vote Democrat.
This is because I've learned how politics work in this country, and I've learned that who a candidate is and what they believe is not nearly as important as their party affiliation and their personal charisma when dealing with other leaders (and a good, strong cabinet helps, too).
So I'm going to vote along party lines, and I'm not going to bother to research. Not because I'm ignornant of the issues, but because I know that I'll vote along party lines even if I DO the research, I'll just be a lot less happy about it.
I really don't understand people who watch politics like a sport.
