I don’t know much about politics, aside from the two simple
words- democrat and republican. Ask me whose running, and I can only repeat the
name of the current president. However, the reason I do not follow politics is
because presidential elections- or any sort of politics for that matter- seem
almost pointless to get involved in. It’s all about what the promise to do, but
can never commit to doing so. It’s about social stature, and propaganda. The
media feeds us lies about what the next guy will do to make the United States
so much better than the previous president, however- it never fails that
society is constantly disappointed.
From my limited political point of view, I believe that the
people of society should be the number one priority. We make up this world; we
work here, live here, and die here. Why not listen to the people? Our
generation will set the stage for those to come, and without a voice, we are
just another person in the crowd that will have little effect- if any, on
modern society.
I do favor a democracy; however, voting can cause quite a
spurious result. The people are asked to pick who they want to be elected for
office, and that is it. Of course, it would be nearly impossible for someone to
look at every single voter’s reason as to why.
Overall, I believe that making the people happy is a top
priority. I believe in the rights we have, and that people should be expected
to abide by laws and follow the rules of society. But we need to have freedom.
One may say that we do have freedom, but do we really? Why is something that
can cause no harm to anyone, such as gay marriage, be illegal in most states?
In fact, I believe it causes emotional harm in those who favor having a same
sex relationship. Should they be denied the right to marry whom they love?
Overall, it all boils down to something so simple, yet so
complex- the people. Our government should be favorable and desirable to us,
since those elected will further shape society as we know it.
