Mr. Bagby puts forth a very interesting point on his blog.
Voters don’t care, why should you? He put forth “Maybe they feel as if their… vote
doesn’t count.” A vote does count, but
it doesn’t always count in certain situations. If a certain amount of people
are persuaded to vote towards a policy or elected official, even if that policy
or elected official could hurt them. A vote towards the right vote wouldn’t
count than. As Bagby said most people don’t always understand their where
political leaders stand on issues.
Bagby
does quite well by also pointing out survey polls show that the average
American doesn’t involve themselves in politics and usually just conforms to
the way life is presented to them. As mentioned by Bagby we face complex issues
in society. Aren’t the politicians suppose represent us and do their job to the
best of their ability. Sometimes to me it seems like the only reason some
ideologies or political figures are mentioned, is because the businesses want
these polices or people there.
Over
all, Bagby does an excellent job on this entry. He points out not everyone has
a fair chance depending on their situation. The little guy does need to have a
voice and needs the proper representative in office. Adjusting and providing
alternatives can help greatly to provide the correct progress and security. As
individuals and voters, we should all be interested in the politics around us
or we could end up in a situation similar to Nazi Germany, which no one needs a
repeat of.
