Voting Today
People on both sides of the Atlantic have been asking me how I’m voting today. I’m not.
Because I’m not a citizen, I don’t have a vote. And I don’t want to be a citizen because I’m very happy being a citizen of one messed up country already, thanks.
One automated call asked me how I would vote if I had the vote. Obviously I hung up - technically an abstention - but I decided to give it some thought.
Over ninety percent of what I’ve heard in this campaign, is just nasty negative stuff mixed in with ineptitude. And as the squalor of the coverage washed over me I noticed that I couldn’t identify most candidates politically.
I’ve heard their names so many times, and their campaigning words, along with the words of others who want them (not unreasonably) to fail to be elected, but no identifying political trait comes across. With most of the candidates whose names I know, I couldn’t tell you which party they belong to. That’s odd.
It would be nice to dislike people for party-political reasons, rather than their unappealing personalities. So I guess if I had the vote, I’d still hang up.
