American Voter: One Trick Pony

Here we go!  The 2016 election is about to become an all consuming issue.

We always here about the courage of the American voter and there trends here and there…..but to my thinking it is all so much crap to sell a paper.

Most all Americans are a one issue voter.  I have written on this subject before….just about every election hoping someone will see the illogical voting habits of Americans.

When it comes to informed voting habits most Americans are morons.

Let me explain.  If the voter is an abortion rights support then that is all they care about….or if they worry about the economy then they ignore the voting  problems….or if they are concerned about religious stuff then they could care less about the economy……on and on and on…….most will pretend, even lie, about their concerns, especially to pollsters….hence I call them a One trick Pony Voter.

Sadly the candidates, which are less informed than some of the voters, lead the charge to the one issue.  Let’s be honest our elections are nothing more than a side show, especially the primaries which do NOTHING to further democracy and information.  The sideshow is an illusion that there is a struggle between the two parties……when in essence these parties are nothing more than two sides of the same coin….there is little difference.

The campaigns are nothing more than a PR ploy that fortifies the one issue that is important to the voter…..and their efforts give the viewer a distorted view of the result of voting for this candidate or that…..a fantasy that is readily consumed by an uninformed and uneducated voter.

Then there is the media which was an institution for information but since it became part of an entertainment complex the news has taken a backseat to entertainment.  The media is used to do way with independent thinking……with that done the voter will focus on a single issue, usually some ego-centric issue.  The love of country is gone…..working to move the country forward is gone……..

    Actually I suspect that most candidates are smart enough to know better but merely choose to exploit the general ignorance of their base merely to win elections

    1. The truth is that most Americans do not want the truth because it will conflict with what they want to believe……ignorance was the best word to use……
