Impossible Politics Options

[Merica]

I just wrote a blog called Impossible Politics [link removed], which discusses my uncertainty about politics in general. I thought some of you here might relate to my ponderings. If you're interested then feel free to read, and I'd greatly appreciate any comments (on the blog page itself, preferably).

In all honesty, I want Obama to rule England. Dude's cool as fuck. Obama, or Bruce Willis.

Just to break off topic for a moment, this is where I'm a little bit ignorant of American politics. More so to do with the voters. It seems like a lot of people in America treat it like a sport (Fish mentioned WWE)... like you have "your team", republican or democrat. In Australia we have Labor party (supposedly the more 'working class' party) and the liberal party ... but you'll often hear of people not declaring love for either and in 2 different elections could easily vote for one or the other. Same with the UK with Labor and the Tories .. but with America it really seems like for the most part you pick your side and they're your dudes?

I think it has a lot to do with many Americans not knowing how to think for themselves. They just go with what their family, friends or even their church tells them. There are a substantial number of moderates who do vote based on the issues each election, though.

This all begins with a subpar educational system, but that's really a matter for another day...
