That doesn’t mean I don’t vote. It just means that since I don’t trust any politicians any more than your average used car salesman, I don’t listen to the sales pitches in disguise as speeches written by teams of speechwriters designed to sway your opinion to one side or the other.

I’m of the opinion we need people governing the country in ways that benefit the people who live in it and if possible, the people who live in all countries for that matter.

Shame they only offer us choices of people who are good at fundraising and winning elections when we get our ballots.

I see politics as an outsider.

This particular race is interesting so far because both sides seem to believe they are the clear winner and the other side is really screwing up.

Seems to be a large gap between most people’s perceptions and reality (which shows both candidates running pretty close together last I checked). I find that both fascinating, and worrysome at the same time.

I’ll get out and I’ll vote, and I’ll keep my decision to myself since we have a secret ballot in this country. I’m glad that my vote is no one’s business but my own.
