Why do people feel the need to “self-identify”? Are we all Caitlyn jenners now?
The call of groupthink in America is overwhelming.
What happened to independant thought? Can’t we all just vote for the candidate that appeals to us - personally - without allowing the media to pigeon hole us into their predetermined catagories?
Listen to, watch the candidates...don’t base your preference on what your friends and deadheaded media types tell you. I mean, they’re telling you THEIR opinions, why can’t you have an opinion of your own, with their approvals?
You’re just as much a citizen of this country as they are, you can listen to the candidates, just like they do... But people seem to let their brains idle until some mini-skirted anchor chick tells them what to think, and how to vote.
My gawd, America...grow some balls, make your own decisions and screw the party labels. We have seen the politicians break their oaths, lie, and screw the voters in both parties. Yet, we keep coming back for more?
The constitution doesn’t specify a party affiliate requirement to be president. The founders specified the few requirements of the individual to run for president.
If you meet someone new, do you rely on your friends to tell you if you like them or not?
Turn off the media and engage your brains, we’ll be a lot better off!
Being a independent is the best thing in the world. You always know what a dem will do in office, the mystery is the GOP.
We communicate with words and actions. We label or identify ourselves constantly, daily even.
If I’m a Christian and proudly proclaim it but Christians begin committing dastardly deeds, I will be ashamed and will choose a more appropriate label to signal who I am. Perhaps I’ll say I’m a True Christian.
Politics is no different. Labels have significance, meaning and convey a sense of community.
And no, I make my decisions, and that’s precisely why I cannot sign on to the Trump Mania or wish to be identified with it.
