Politics Today

No wonder politics have become such a joke in our society- people are more concerned with time-warping our candidates photos to see what they will look like down the road, than they are learning about the issues that are at hand.

It is no wonder that nobody ever has anything new to say that actually matters when it comes to the election.  In fact, the only time I ever hear people talk about the primaries is when I’m at the Dunkin Donuts on 9G; and that’s only because the TV there is always on CNN. It is a sad day when the Dunkin Donuts workers know more about politics than my collegiate peers (not to say anything bad about the Dunkin Donuts workers).

Are people just so bored that they create the free time to do these things? Or do people honestly care more about the appearance of our potential president? So much for America. 

I am however, very interested in seeing how this election will pan out- not only to see who wins (which, is obviously important), but to look at how people voted. Are people going to vote according to race? Socio-economic class? Gender? Or are citizens actually listening to the platforms for our male/female, black/white candidates?

Hopefully this year, many citizens will come out of the woodwork and actually vote!- even if it is only because they want a female/male, or a black/white president.
