Who represents me, 2.0?

So next fall will be the first time I will be able to vote.
And in all honestly, I have no desire to do so.

Although, I did like Bernie Sanders in the beginning because Neil Young liked him.
Then I read about him....
Also he's Jewish and good ole 'Murica don't like no Jews running this place.

I do not support any politician running for president nor do I support any politician in general (at least the ones I've come across thus far.)
Every time I read into who's doing what, there's is some sort of undertone that leaks from within and leaves me feeling violated.
We've all heard about the issue with Ben Carson and his remarks about Muslims in office and we've definitely all heard about Trump's such lovely words directed toward minorities and women.

Not even as a woman but as a human being, why would I support such bullshit?

I'm not religious and I don't pretend to be to get people to like me.
However, most politicians use religion to pander to a segment of the population in order to get votes.
And religion has no business in politics anyway.
Yet it remains a large factor in determining someone's favorability in polls.
All of these constitutionalist who pound the bible and use that as a foundation of this country should maybe go back and reread what the actual founders of this country wrote and the real meaning of the Constitution.
Anyone who thinks that the world is 6,000 years old, should not hold any political office because they're stupid. (((*Mike Huckabee & Mitt Romney & Sarah Palin etc..*)))
Like come on, can't they do a basic test of these guy's knowledge??

The point I'm trying to get at is most everything we listen to, watch, and hear about what politicians are saying is a lie.
A big, fat lie.
But since they're politicians, it's not polite for us to say they lie, instead they're obscuring facts and giving out half truths and being misleading, but certainly not lying.
My apologies.
However, if you or I were to do this, we would most definitely be held accountable and guess what, we would be liars.
Lying is a conscious altering of facts in order to gain the upper hand.
On the campaign trail, the presidency and the senate floor, this is just called politics.
And that's OUR fault. We allow them to do that by using the excuse that "...it's just politics."

They tell us what they think we want to hear but rarely exposing the truth of who they actually are.
Personally, I doubt they even know who they are.
Because politics is about telling the sweetest lie, the one we all want to hear and believe.
The voters don't hold them accountable, in fact they keep electing the same miserable class of people. The media sure as hell doesn't and the actual politicians certainly don't hold themselves accountable.

So in the end, why would I want to vote for any of them?
They're all wretched liars whose only goal is to get elected at any cost and then hold the position at any cost.

The cost in the end is our well-being and our country's well-being.
And we certainly don't hold ourselves accountable, we just bitch about it.


Maybe I'm not the only one who's tired of the same old, same old. Perhaps this is why Donald Trump and Ben Carson are leading in the polls- they're not politicians.
And that's the new, sweet lie we all want to hear.

  1. I like how honest your post is. This is how the country is being run right now. The politicians feed us lies and we believe them, almost without hesitation. I also like the perspective of someone our age trying to figure out what to do now that we can vote and "change the country for the better." Honestly I'm in the same boat as you, their isn't a single person that i want to vote for in this election. Great post.
