changing seasons

The Election will be in a couple of weeks and the American people will make a choice. The American people will decide. The American people will put their trust in the Candidates whose promises are more or less acceptable… feasible and convincible.

I am not qualified to vote yet. I am not allowed to make a choice yet. I am not a US Citizen just yet. It’s neither a good nor a bad thing but all I am saying is that, this election has no particular significance to me whatsoever because of my status. However, whoever the next President will be, his leadership will surely make a big impact on me as a person living here in the United States.

Election Season is not my most favorite season of all. I hate it. I hate to see how Candidates are conducting their campaign. I hate how they uplift themselves and degrade their rivals just to let people think that they are the best persons in the job. It’s so childish.

But one thing I know about election here is that… it’s very educating for me. I learned a lot about election here in the US. I learned how they pick their Candidates. It was different from where I came from. Here, I learned that there are only 2 Political Parties… the Democrats and the Republicans, though they also consider the Independent Party as legit. I also learned that the choice for the Presidency depends on the results of the Caucuses and the Primaries and the one who will win will be the official Candidate for the Presidency. These things that I learned, somehow gave me an idea how organized election in the US is.

However, in terms of campaigning… there is not much difference from where I came from or perhaps, anywhere in the world. All Candidates see themselves as the best persons to do the job. They are all narcissistic. Hahahaha. Sorry about that. I just find it really annoying how the Candidates point out how bad their opponents are than focusing on how they can help the people and the country. All of them are good in pointing out the flaws in each other. And they are all good too on pointing out how better they are than their opponents. All of them are good actors… appearing on Saturday Nights Live… guessing on late night talk shows… hobnobbing with celebrities and whatnot. It’s a circus out there, so to speak. Oh well, all Candidates have both good and bad attributes. And it’s just a matter of time to know which one of the two traits is more dominant.

Election will be in a couple of weeks from now. I just hope that all American citizens will go out and vote. Suffrage is a right and not a privilege. But then, we have to keep in mind that no matter who will win… and what they all say… the economy will not be fixed on day one. It will take a lot of time to fix the economy and so there is no way that we could bounce back right after the election. All that we have right now is hope. All that we have right now is trust. And all we have right now is the confidence that the next President will keep his promise to the American people.

“Please go out and vote. You have no reason to complain if this country is suffering due to the bad decisions our elected leaders have made because you did not vote for the right ones. You have no reason to ask for change if you are not willing to make that change. Let the change begins within yourself. Vote! I would if only I have that right.”  THIS IS “JUST ME”… AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!
