Why your politics suck.

Yes I truly believe your politics kind of suck. I mean, do you actually know what politics even are? When to vote? How to vote? Who does what? How long they serve?
Do you actually know where your candidate stands with climate change? On education? etc. These things are actually important to know. But instead of taking the time to read through the candidates websites, watch their speeches, you post meme after meme about things that aren't even real.
I mean, if the internet could be at your finger tips, would you take the time then? Oh... it already is? You can just pick up your phone and do some actual research?
I meet people all over the place that begin to talk politics, they tell me who they are voting for, and then at some point they say "well I actually don't know where he/she stands on this, I don't really know a whole lot about what they believe, but I don't like that they did.......".
This is seriously the most common thing I hear people say. I have said it before as well. There are certain things I do not know about each candidate. I will be the first to admit it. But I also will be the first to say I have gone through their websites. I have read what they believe and stand for. I also watch their speeches and only watch full footage and not pieced together clips that don't portray the entire story.
If you can not take the few minutes to check a story, or a picture to make sure it is even accurate, you are part of the problem! Every single time I see something that catches my attention, I take the few minutes to see if it is even accurate.

Here is a perfect example...  I have seen many people post the picture of Russel and Hawn in their "Trump" gear. It took me about 20 seconds to find the original photo. This is not rocket science.


If we want better, we need to act better. Stop sharing garbage. Spread real information. Convince us that your candidate is worth it. Why should we vote for them? If all you have to share is "Hilary for Prison 2016", you are spreading garbage and you are the root of the media feeding us garbage. Do better! I believe in you :-)
