| The problem is brainwashing. The formula is this: YOU learn all by yourself what all electable candidates say they want to do. YOU figure out all by yourself which ones LIE. One lie is enough, if they do it they keep doing it. And then YOU chose which election program you want to vote for. Ideally you chose what is best for the country but this is rather challenging for people. We can forgive them for being stuck thinking only of themselves. Why would it be perfectly obvious if one is ordering food but not for elections??? Food might taste bad and you might get food poisoning. A bad choice doesn't mean years of suffering. Does one not look at the menu card? Or do you ask your mum what to order? Do you roam around the restaurant looking what other people are eating? Do you order what CNN is screaming at you? If people scream at you from all directions that you should order the snails in garlic butter, does that mean you will never have to look at the menu the rest of your life? You can just eat snails every day, everyone else is eating snails every day???? Why are you not eating snails?? It is the nr 1 most sold food! Don't you want snails to be the nr 1 food? Then the restaurant switches to the cheapest worse possible snails because people will order it anyway because other people will order it. Is this a display of good taste? I hate apple but I buy iphone because they are good enough for what I need. I might get an android phone some day. They are good enough too. I did actually look. With elections no one is looking. People have no idea. Non of them! There is not one journalist who knows anything. For each million voters one or two have watched a single video from a candidate other than the top 2. A video by a 5 year old on tiktok gets more attention online than the entire list of election programs. I could see logic in getting advice from an expert on something or from your mum but if they know absolutely nothing about the topic?!?! The voter is therefore brainwashed into irrelevance, she won't influence elections in any way. |
This seems like a brazenly false statement. Also genuinely worrying, as you're discrediting all journalists based on... your feelings? Something that has been pushed for over the last 8 years by one party under the guise of labels such as "fake news" and "mainstream media".
Maybe you meant to say "everything", but parroting anti-news propaganda is only making everyone less informed and only benefits the side that isn't campaigning in good faith.
