My CANDIDATE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, best of all, s/he craps out gold doodies. No wait, the BEST thing is the glowing dew that falls from his/her fingertips and heals the blind and raises the median family income of everybody it touches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously. WTF is this thing with "X won this poll !!!" "Y came out ahead in this informal survey"? I have NEVER opened ONE of those threads. Not ONE.
I realize that people are excited about their choice and want others to be excited too. But the way to garner the interests of intelligent, thinking people is NOT with the political equivalent of a pep squad shouting match between high-school rivals.
The way to intrigue me does not involve dry, meaningless numbers that, in fact, don't affect the larger picture. The way to entice me is by telling me how, specifically, your candidate plans to:
- get us on track with major environmental overhauls and how they plan to fund them.
- get us the fuck out of the M.E. and how we go about repairing our reputation with our international brethren.
- deal with health care mess.
- get the blood-sucking leeches that are the insurance industry, who are part and parcel of the health-care mess, disentangled from the process.
- tax equitably
- stop corporate person-hood
- reinstate the Fairness Doctrine
- prosecute American war criminals
.... you get the drift here?
I, frankly, don't care what you think about your candidate. I don't care what the DNC thinks about your candidate. I don't care what Jeebus himself thinks about your freakin' candidate. Those opinions will not change mine.
Convince ME.
That's all I'm askin'.
