Isn't it remarkable that almost nobody here cares about politics?
1 Kamisedo, regarding your answer "Strategic vs. Tactical":I think your wanting so-called "professional voters" to vote in place of registered voters is not the most thought-out response.At least with the general population of registered voters, we do not run the chance of having this country dictated to by an elite, small group of men/women. Just look at the mess that transpired in the US when the 2000 election was put into the hands of the US Supreme Court -- a decision made strictly upon party lines -- Republican party lines that is! .
You question assumes that people don't care about politics, simply because there aren't many political questions asked. I don't think this is an accurate assessment. Although I can't speak to the interest in celebrity's work out routines.
However, there are many list serves and forums devoted to political conversations, you will be well suited there! Plenty of political viewpoints and lengthy discussions. Meanwhile for the folks on askville, life happens!
And not only for presidents. Every day decisions are important for the people who make them. As an individual we have very little power over these large decisions (though collectively people DO have the power).
Yes, of course politics make a huge impact on our lives and many many others. A good many of us do what we can (petition signing, voting or volunteering) politically to make the world a better place. Asking questions on Askville about politics won't exactly change the world.
Plus discussing these topics in such a mixed and limited forum invites misunderstanding, without gaining meaningful dialogue. And who isn't at least a little bit jaded by the news!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
