Politics- Interested of Not?

I've studied politics so I do watch the coverage and also read reports. I find it fascinating how some voters cannot see the obvious, and that is on all sides. As much as I liked the ideas Sanders had, they just weren't practical and the Mexican wall is a something that I have to grin at when I hear it mentioned.


I don't get anxious, but more concerned that some people are being fed the wrong kinds of information and believing the hype. That's when it becomes dangerous, when people think they are facts and act on them.

I don't like politics, it bores me most of times, because almost never you find some popular candidate that don't burst into a circlejerking pile of populism, just like Hillary and Trump are. Most of times I don't vote and stay home, so I can rinse off the responsibility of electing an irresponsible fool as a president. But sometimes, I feel like ignoring this concern is another thing that is causing this awful politic issue.

I have never really held any significant interests or view on the political situation. I get easily bored when that topic comes up. It just seems to me that it's the same thing that plays over and over every few years, the only thing that changes is the names of the candidates. I do vote, because I think it's the right thing to do, but I don't spend hours agonizing over the state of our political parties and everything else. 

I was really interesting in this presidential election this time around since the beginning was so crazy.  But I became less and less interested once I realized how biased the news stations and newspapers are.  It was soon obvious that no one has any journalistic integrity and they are all bought out.  The whole thing has been a show of how deeply we've been sold out by the media and government and how stupid they think we are as a whole that we need to be told who to vote for.  I'm at the point, I want to vote Trump because the media is telling me not to.  The whole thing is a mess.  I could never vote for Hilary but I'm still not completely sure that Trump is the better option.

I have zero interest in politics whatsoever, whether its local or international politics. In fact, my disinterest is so great that I couldn't even be bothered to vote. The subject itself seems pretty boring to me, although adults that are in their 50's and up seem to be very interested in it.

I live on the other side of the planet from the US. However, I still follow the political news in the US. It's an item of interest which I have marked in my news feed. What happens in the US presidential election will have repercussions on the rest of the world. Some countries will be affected more. Some countries will be affected less. However, all will be affected in one way or another. I really wish that the US citizens have more choice. I think that's the mildest way of expressing my opinion on the matter.

I have always had a pretty avid interest in politics, however, I find what is happening in the US to be very disturbing. The lack of civility is distressing. The behavior of one of the presidential candidates is also awful. In my opinion, the vice presidential candidates would do a better job than those on the top of the ticket. It is very sad, when the leaders can't be trusted to lead, and show negative behaviors like they do. I am not in favor of politics as usual at all We need election reform, and to think before we cast a vote.

I have never been interested in politics and it seems to drive my boyfriend crazy. Majority of my friends were fairly political growing up. I was always the odd one out because I showed little to no interest in what was going on around me. At the end of the day, I really enjoyed being blissfully ignorant. I would see how uppity people would get about politics and it really drove me away from it. I am not a person that likes to debate. I actually really hate it because I struggle with differentiating insults and simply debating.


It wasn't until this year that I started somewhat caring about politics. I feel like the USA elections really scared me into voting. When I saw who was running, it helped give me that extra push into voting and trying my best to contribute to making my country a better place. Sadly, the man I was counting on was run out of the elections.

I was an apolitical youth activist. I promoted vote@16 with a "Shadow election" project (non-official election on local or national level among 13-17-year-olds) and the European Parliament elections among people my age.  


I've never belonged to a political party, but if I did, I'd probably be social-democratic.
