The call for people to take their ballot and simply blindly vote for their party is just that, BLIND. It does not encourage a person to look at issues, nor look at candidates. Just vote for the party. Doesn't matter who it is as long as it's a party member. For some, it doesn't matter what party, but that it is a woman running, or that the person is of a particular ethnicity.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at history, that is exactly what happened. it started in the early twenties (1921) in a European country known as Germany with a man named Adolph Hitler and his Social Democratic Party of Germany. Wikipedia states: Initially, Nazi strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetorical though such aspects were later downplayed in order to gain support of industrial entities, and in the 1930's the party's focus shifted to anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes.
They were encouraged to vote only the party line then, and look what happened there.
I say, vote the candidate, not the party. As I walk into the voting booth this year, I know that I will be voting for members of all parties, not for the sake of the party, but for the sake of the country. I will not be voting for a candidate because they are a minority, or because of their gender or sexual preference, I will vote for the person that I feel is going to be the best for this country regardless of party affiliation. I encourage each and everyone of you to do the same.
