People are urged to vote when elections approach, but with what purpose?
Is it just to vote for change? Or just to participate? Or is it just for the hype of it?
Most likely, that is how most people end up, overhyped and somewhat fooled because does voting have a radical effect?
I’m afraid not.
Voting is a futuristic action and people might be voting for an illusion.
Voting takes affect when people have the same position, not when people vote against a company that has millions of dollars and most important-POWER.
When voting for some candidates people look at the looks and race, also how that candidate motivates them. They ignore what the candidates have proposed to the country.
People will vote depending on situations, but they always say after they vote that “it was a waste of time” and does not help them with their every day life.
“It’s a trick that make us feel more powerful,” said Pierce College student Jarrod Kenney.
Most people are misinformed, and they vote just to feel like they’re a part of something.
By logic it is hustle – people registering, updating. Information takes time and money.
At the end what happens?
Do the people elected fix the bumpy road or do they just make a bunch of promises they can’t keep?
I think it’s just a bunch of politicians making promises they can’t keep.
After all, the modern vote is more like an opinion and some topic that gives people something to talk about and not to act about.
Once candidates win and take their respective position, they go into a power trip and all their promises go out the door.
In the words of Kanye West, “no one man should have all that power.”
