There are some elections coming up

We have a bunch of people running, that are taking up a lot of air time, saying a bunch of empty words, that they hope will get people to vote for them. Issues? They can't afford to be pinned down. They don't want their real issues known.
Most are only differentiated from each other by the sound of their voice and the skimpiness of the veracity in their lies.

Too many of us pick one player and root for them like this is some kind of sports game. These people will often pick some personal characteristic, or other of that one person, as a reason everyone else should vote for them. As if their views don't matter, till next time, when we do it allover again, having learned nothing from the last time, as our country continues to circle the drain.
Some cannot seem to be able to distinguish the positions of the various candidates, even when they are polar opposites of the same party! Others claim to be of one party or the other, but they back the one candidate that has a long history of showing they should be running in the other party. These people need to replace their agenda with a white cane.

I think more people need to be exposed to this classic. There is a lot of truth here.
