Voting..........

Well, voting sounds like the most important of the civic duties that one could have, and honestly it can be, but the problem is when your choice becomes pretty mucho between two candidate, and those two candidates are not going to actually do their job of leading the way for a better country and society. When your choices are going to have the same result no matter how much time and effort you put in order to be informe, it makes the whole process of election and democracy meaningless. 

If you ask me if I am going to participate in the next election coming the following month, I would probably say no. This is due to the lack of information that I could find about most of the candidates of my district, I honestly cannot distinguish between candidates, let alone their political agenda for the next years. It has been really hard with the lack of information available and the sheer amount of people wanting to be part of the political system. I do not see myself in their position, mainly because I will end up being too honest for the current political system that we have today. If you want to be a part of the political system with some public charge be ready to be a charismatic,backstabbing, fake smiley and compulsive liar in order to succeed. Now if you are really dedicated to the public work that a politician should do, just do the contrary to what I said before. 

Most of the political campaigns also are too dirty and intrusive in the life of the people. While the campaign last everybody is concern on having their giant signs in the plazas, lamp-posts and walls, but when the election is over, many of those signs remain there for years, with nobody cleaning them up. What a mess they leave behind. Besides all that self promotion and fake smiles makes me kind of sick. Honestly, instead of polluting with their propaganda, they should use other types of media to promote their programs and reach out to the people. It`s not like there are massive websites dedicated to share and discuss ideas/programs with other people, while allowing for an easy access and communication between the candidates and the people who may vote for them or not......
