Politics & More

asked:


I’ve met a large portion of people who keep up to date on politics and important issues going on around the world. Then I’ve met the depressing amount of people who could care less about who is running the country and would rather be keeping up to date on Britney Spears’ crazy status. My parents are sort of in-between. They know what is going on throughout the world but they vote for people based on poor reasons–like just because of their party.

Do you think more Americans are clueless or well informed about politics?
I know what you mean by day-to-day problems–my family lives on each paycheck. Miss one and we’re screwed. It’s not like my family is peaceful either. We’re all dysfunctional people who should really be on anti-depressants.

But nevertheless, I think politics are important…life is busy but obviously what is happening in your country will affect you…right?

So I guess what I’m asking is, does anyone CARE anymore?
i agree about the political party thing…

i mean, there are flaws in both parties…sometimes the answer isn’t strictly ‘the conservative’ or the ‘liberal’ side.
