Well the Republicans finished their fiasco called a convention this week and the Democrats have started theirs. The thing about Democrats and Republicans that bothers me the most is the fact that they blindly support candidates and issues just so long as they’re called either Republican or Democrat. In other words they don’t seem to exercise free will in their choices. I’ve had several friends who were members of one or the other of these parties and I asked them why you are a Democrat or why are you a Republican and I never get a satisfying answer. It seems they either go with what their parents are or they go opposite to rebel. I guess it saves them a lot of time and trouble researching their reasons. But it’s this attitude that gives bad people such as Trump and Clinton a chance to be President. If you look at Congress and the Senate in the last few years they simply vote for their own parties programs or against the other parties programs without offering an alternative. This has resulted in the most in effectual congress in years. An example of this is Obama Care now the fact that I don’t live in the United States anymore make it difficult for me to decide if this is a good or bad program. But I see Republicans saying as soon as the Election is over and they win they will repeal the program. Ok I can go along with that the only problem is it seems they just want to get rid of it because it was a Democratic idea and they really don’t offer any Alternative plans. It’s ok to dislike something and want it removed but have an idea of what you’re going to put in its place so people don’t go crazy trying to figure out if they have health insurance or not. it seems politicians don’t care what the people want or need as long as there party is the one making the decisions. In other countries there would be either a political or military rebellion but I guess American are too busy playing Pokémon Go to give a shit. This is Flounder saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.
