I’m sorry I recently found out that Kanye West of all people is running for president and I have to rant! I feel like the last few elections have really dampened my love and killed any hope or optimism I have for the united states. Trump (and don’t mistake this complaint as if I am letting democrats of the hook for their crap!) literally used the united states as a stage and platform for his reality show performance and now celebrities and TV personalities are running on a regular basis.
Politics have real world effects that ripple out and hurt real people. But us citizens’ lives are just… what? Collateral damage for their fame and money? Did TV and internet get too boring for them? Now they want to play theatre with our country or something?
I don’t think these celebrities and these politicians care about us. We are just pawns in their game. Am I the only one who feels this way?
I don’t like how it has become common place for celebrities to run for office. I don’t think they take politics or this country seriously.
Women are losing our rights left right and centre and we are just a joke. I highly doubt Trump, Kanye West or the Rock Johnson actually give a s**t about anyone or anything other than their fat bank accounts and the number or twitter followers they have!
Voting feels pointless these days. The party system has become absolute trash and both parties are falling apart at the seams and no one is doing anything about it and I’m sure the people running are just fine with that!
