Understanding politics is too complex for most people I know [View all]
And it is not because they are stupid, or lazy, or ignorant. It is nothing like that. It is because most people do not have the time to learn how politics really works. They have jobs, kids and other commitments that are on their mind constantly. So they are forced to decide how to vote mainly from political headlines they see in the news or what they hear from friends. They don't have time for the actual content beneath those headlines. Now they may take the time to research one political subject that really interests them. I have seen that happen. But they will ignore the rest. Be great if it wasn't this way, but it is. No way to change this.
Reason I was involved in politics so soon in life was because of our union. Our union wanted us to spend the time to understand politics because they knew how important that was.
