While following the political threads on this board and watching some youtube clips regarding the various candidates, I was just wondering about the following.... (Please share your experiences)...
1. The candidates almost undoubtedly market 'change' as the reason to vote for them. I will change this, I will get America where it should be. Do you believe them?
1. The candidates almost undoubtedly market 'change' as the reason to vote for them. I will change this, I will get America where it should be. Do you believe them?
No.
2. Do the candidates deliver? Is there a President in your lifetime who has delivered and really made you glad that you voted for him? Or is it all the same old until they get into the White House and everything remains pretty standard.
No.
3. Does the candidate matter that much to you or do you vote for a party and their policies most times?
I always vote for the candidate. When I vote for a democrat or a republican, I am doing so in spite of their party, not because of it. The two-party system is one of the biggest problems with our government today.
4. How is the quality of your leadership changing? Are your leaders better or worse than 20 or 50 years ago?
It's probably not changing all that much. Things seem worse, but I suspect that that is only because there is so much more visibility now.
Thank you
You're welcome.

OMG, that is both insightful and infuriating. I am, by turns, perplexed, angry and sexually aroused.

I (usually) do not think it intentional; unfortunately, that rarely mitigates the harm.
