#1 - most of the people in this country vote without knowing thing one about the person they're voting for or why they should/should not be elected into office.
#2 - a lot of people vote based on name recognition alone, which is one reason why i believe that a vote for hilary is a vote for bill; invariably from someone who knows the last name and thinks he ran the ish out of this country and will do it again, if only behind the guise of his wife.
#3 - i'm not too sure i want to choose sides in a voting match to determine whether a BLACK man or a white WOMAN gets to be the first first.
#4 - i think the media chooses the president; simply based on who they choose to talk about, how much, and in what way. they describe people who might have a good chance at changing things as radical and they build up those who will only maintain the status quo; practically supporting just another form of dynasty. the presidency is being passed around like a party joint from the Bushes to the Clintons to the Bushes and maybe back again.
#5 - to illuminate the quasi-apathetic take i have on the whole thing; i just don't feel like driving all the way to the island to cast a vote that, at this point, won't really make a difference as far as i'm concerned.
no sense in complaining if you're not doing anything to try and change what you're complaining about. but if someone that i don't like gets elected i'm not going to feel better knowing that i didn't vote for them nor am i going to feel bad thinking that my one vote would've gotten someone else into office. not entirely selfish either as i don't put much weight in my one vote affecting anything for the greater good, or worse. not complaining, just throwing my two cents around. at least, what my two cents happens to be for the moment.
