I'm going to keep it real, I used to get upset at why some people don't
vote, but not anymore. I'm seeing more and more why some people don't
vote because the political process is nothing more than a shade fest.
Candidates spend more time throwing shade than mapping out their
strategy to fix this country's issues. Many people like to say, "vote
for the candidate who believes the way you do" The problem with that is
that most candidates claim to believe one way and turn around
and have a different stance. You'll have very few candidates who stick
to their views from Day 1. What happened to the candidates who finance
their own campaigns? If a candidate is rich enough to finance their own
campaign, THEY have their own mind as to what they choose to believe.
If
someone is financing a candidate's run for Governor or President, they
call the shots as to what a candidate should (not) believe. You can't
have your own mind in politics if your campaign is financed by wealthy
corporate executives or millionaires/super-wealthy people. They have
their own agenda, and if you want to continue receiving financial
support, you have to align yourself with their stance on various issues.
That's why I couldn't be in politics because if I'm wealthy enough to
finance my own campaign, I will believe the way I want to believe. If
some people don't like it, they don't have to vote for me, but it's not
going to stop me from believing the way I do.
