a.) you are popular (i.e, movie star popular)
b.) your parents are popular (i.e, politicians, former politicians)
c.) you paid people to vote for you
In this country, only a very few votes for someone because they really believe and trust in the capability of that person. In this country, few people takes elections seriously.
I went home to my hometown to vote and to say that I am disappointed is an understatement. I saw blatant vote buying either thru cash or goods. Pathetic and desperate attempts by candidates to convince people to vote for them. If you are confident that you have the capability to be a leader and if your main reason for running is because you want to serve this country, then there should be no need or you to pay people to vote for you. Your track record should be enough. Or in the ideal world, it should be enough.
Wherever I go, I hear people talking about who paid the biggest and who they're not going to vote because they did not receive anything from that person or because that person paid less. Vote buying has been so ingrained in our society that it has become a twisted social norm. People are not even ashamed of declaring that they sell their votes to the highest bidder. What a shame. Stupid, stupid voters. Hearing these people makes me want to choke them to death.
People who sell their votes and people who buy votes are the reasons why this country is what it is. We should be smart enough to give our votes only to the people who really deserves to be voted and not those who just pay to be in power.
Another thing, popularity. I often hear people say that they are going to vote for someone because he| she is popular and/or that person's parents are popular. This is not a popularity contest! This is an election! This is something that will determine the state of this country for the next three-six years. Just because someone is popular doesn't mean that they are capable. Hell, look at those people you voted in the senate!
The results of this election is very very important to the future of this country. If we don't choose well, we are the ones who are going to suffer. Think about those lame leaders that we have whose only saving grace is their popularity. Think about them and what they have done for this country. Nothing. They are mere decorations in congress and in the senate. Think about those politicians you voted because they're families are the ruling party. Think about how they useless they are. Projects go to those people who supports them and to those places they have businesses at.
When I go home and see the same thing I've been seeing for the last 24 years, i know we have chosen the wrong people again. Well, they are the same people who's been there for as long as I can remember so that probably explains it.
You know why we are still suffering? Because we have stupid voters and stupid politicians. You know why we don't have the right to complain about these politicians? because who are the stupid people who gave them power anyway? If you are not satisfied at how things are run in this country, election time is the best time for you to show your displeasure. But what do we do? We sell our votes. We make elections a festival of stupidity.
So, to all those people who sold their votes and those who voted for popularity.... I HATE YOU ALL! If you are just going to sell your votes, do us a favor and don't vote at all. We will never see real progress because of you. You are the reason why we have parasites in power. Shame on you! We have to wait for another three years and I hope you have better brains by then. Learn your lessons already people. We've been at this for a very long time already.
