Don't support a political party or an individual running for office only because one or a couple of your family members support them. Don't support a political party or an individual running for office only because your friends or the in-crowd supports them. Rather, look at all the political parties out there, look at all the individuals running for office which you have an option to vote for, and research what they are about. Find out what they say that the stand for, and what their policy opinions are on various subjects. And then, choose for yourself, the one that matches your opinions on those policy questions. |
Unless you like letting someone else do your thinking for you, in which case doing what your family tells you to do is probably your best bet...  |
The party bosses will be proud of you, if you just listen to exactly what they say, don't do any research of your own, and just vote "strait party ticket." Why don't you just hand them your ballot when you get to the polling station . . . no better yet . . . why don't you just forward all the ballots there were to be sent to you for the rest of your life to their political office. You don't need to concern yourself regarding the policy decisions of your "elected" government. I know I am using hyperbole . . . but isn't that what your basically doing?  |
No, I didn't say any of the things you're trying to accuse me of. "Party bosses"
I'm just saying that if he can't or won't do his own research into the candidates he votes for then it's probably better to listen to what his family members are telling him rather than some stranger.
You know not everyone has the time, opportunity or ability to do their own reading between the lines, expecially something as convoluted as finding out what a candidate really stands for (aside from him/herself that is).
