Oh the presidential election is coming up and you know what that means: mud-slinging!!! These is my least favorite part of any presidential election, the mud-slinging campaigns. I swear some of these candidates wouldn't have a leg to stand on if they stopped degrading other candidates in their campaign ads. I understand maybe a bit of comparison in a campaign ad between you and your opponent. But when you spend more time insulting other candidates, then discussing your own platform and plans, you've officially lost my vote and I'm sure quite a few others.
My sister recently had this great idea for how we should run presidential elections. Instead of the candidates putting out these ads making themselves all look like the absolute best. We should put all of the candidates on a reality T.V show situation. Like put them all in a house together for a few months and see how well they handle stressful situations. Take away all of the glamour and the masks and see what the true person is underneath by putting them in these situations. Of course, a lot of people would argue that this is an awful idea but I like to think that those people have no sense of humor and/or have been brainwashed by the government.
I'm not expert on these matters, obviously so maybe I shouldn't be pitching strange ideas like that. I don't understand everything about the presidential election. But I have gotten sick of these constant mud-slinging campaigns and the fake politicians. I just wish there was a way to actually get to know the candidates, who they really are underneath all of the glamour before you vote for anyone. But this is not a utopian society and we're lucky to live in a democratic society where we can vote at all. Even if most of the politicians appear to be fake jerks.
