I'm not one to talk politics. I never have been. The old rule still applies in my world. Never discuss: Money, Politics or Religion. But............ there is one thing that comes to mind about this time. And it is: How people vote. Reublicans, Democrats, Independants, The Green Party etc etc. The process of choosing is one of confusion, bias, anger and throwing in the towel. This is the time of year when people start to explain or justify who they will vote for and why.
Here are some of the reasons, explanations and justifications that I have heard so far.
1. A celebrity suggested they vote for a candidate 2. A family member told them. 3. Doing the eeenie meenie minie mo vote. 4. They are Republican/Democrat/Independant and therefore they will vote for their party out of loyalty and not what is best. 5. Choosing the lessor of two evils. 6. The looks of the candidate. 7. They use a Psychic. 8. Let a dog choose (no lie) 9. And last but not least, in alphabetical order.
Yes, alphabetical order. I nearly spit my water out when I heard this way of voting.
I vote from the heart and mind. Has anyone else seen or heard the weird ways in which people choose a candidate? |
