Description Seriously, I don't get why some people are all up in your face about what you should think and say from only a political mindset.
It's the same thing every single time: they want to talk and talk and talk about making the economy better but NEITHER side wants to make any the sacrifices in order to fix things properly. Instead, they gotta focus on publicity, victory and pleasing people to get a vote. You would think that political officials and those who indulge their lives into it would behave like adults, but I find that it's often not so.

This is not saying that politics are not interesting. My american government teacher, he's been involved with my states government, and I gotta say, he's so awesome! He makes politics interesting and understandable, with no bull-crap or biased information. I can't wait to learn more from him.

In my personal opinion, people get caught up in political mindsets about religion, marriage, abortion, and all that jazz, and they keep missing the important points that could solve the situation if everyone was just willing to give up a little bit of their freedom and patriotic pride. Everything suddenly becomes dramatic, complicated, and biased, and people shun people for their ideology.

I think it's important to understand and know politics, but I don't believe everyone has to indulge in it to where it becomes their whole life and everything in it is based/solved on concept and not common sense.

This is true.

Unfortunately we can't ignore it. Politics dictate every aspect of our lives.

This is why I'm not strictly Democrat or Republican. Nobody can force me to pick either side, either. There are Republicans and Democrats I've liked. I've seen the childish biased acts from both sides as well. If only people weren't so stubborn about shunning others in disagreement.

Oh my gosh this is so true.
Yeah, my SS teacher was like that too. He wasn't biased and made learning about governments around the world...
Fun.

I don't eat, breath and sleep it... but it IS important for people to research candidates and understand their positions on a variety of important issues (or at least what is important to them at the very least).

While both major parties in our country don't actually differ a WHOLE lot, there ARE some differences that require some thought.

I learned years ago to stop expecting grownup behavior from politicians. It's just not a realistic expectation. I'm trying to give up talking politics. I figure, if you can't play nice, don't play at all. Trying to follow my own advice.

Yes there is... But unfortunetly politics got into lifes of us all that we're pushed (almost literally) to pick a side. Especially by the media.

Yep, it's true. I don't "choose" a side, I pick the one that would do the least bit of damage and let them run the system for us, regardless of people's opinion about it.
