Politics is important

If you care about yourself, your family, your friends, your fellow man, you should care about politics. Who you elect to represent you has lasting effect on your life as well as all the others you care about.

Freedom isn’t free. It shouldn’t be a bragging point that ‘Oh, I don’t get involved in politics,’ as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn’t insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.
