I am not against voting for whoever want to do it and know WHY they do it. My take on this is, I know nothing about politics, and I have no interest in it. So why should I vote for the next President without knowing WHY I'm voting for him? Just because I like his face better than the other guy? Not a good reason to vote. Voting has nothing to do with politics? I guess I'm lost here...voting for a new President is politics to me. Voting for the next mayor or council or whatever you call all these people running the cities and states and countries IS politics to me. I don't watch it on TV, I don't listen to it on the radio, I have no interest in all those voting campaigns, etc. so I stay OUT OF IT. Voting out of ignorance? Why? Because that's what I am, ignorant about all this stuff. And as I said before, I didn't even vote in my OWN country. So it has nothing to do with the fact that I live here in the US. My husband doesn't even vote either, and he's American, born here.
