Single Issue Voter
by ÀÌ¸íµ¿ | 20.04.04 10:08

The issues we face at the moment are many, complex, and touch on our human nature; our priorities.

Our priorities should be, hopefully, based on our vision of the world.

At the moment the vision is a very confusing concept.

The vision of some alcoholics may be to stay drunk as long, and often as possible.

The positive visions equality, peace, freedom, respectare complicated and face a strong opposition, namely, our own human nature.

 

Every election, we redefine ourselves. We try to set our vision. Hopefully.

 

¡°It takes a freakin¡¯ day job to understand what¡¯s going on.¡± A comment from a political townhall meeting.

Important issues are many but each election cycle is summarized/crystallized/marketed by a few slogans.

 

¡°A Leader, For A Change.¡± Jimmy Carter

 

¡°Let¡¯s Make America Great Again.¡± 1980. ¡°Morning Again in America.¡± Ronald Reagan.

 

¡°Experienced Leadership For American Future.¡± George H.W.Bush

 

¡°It¡¯s the economy, stupid.¡± Bill Clinton

 

¡°Yes We can.¡± Barack Obama

 

¡°Make America Great Again.¡± Donald Trump

Behind these slogans, there are many many story lines. Some, not easy to communicate clearly, quickly. Well, most of them.

 

Crucial national issues are reduced to a few slogans.

Voters are dumbed down and become, in the end, single issue voters; many without their realizing the process. Gun, life, money, privilege, etc.,etc.,etc.

A community, country is never about a single issue. Not that simple.

 

In a way, single issue voters made Donald possible. Look how he is handling the current crisis. No more comment on that. Good leadership matters. Well informed, critically, clearly thinking public, a must. These days, it comes before good leadership for obvious reasons.

¡°Our best days still lie ahead.¡± Joe Biden. It may work. There are many, many, many heartaches behind that line.

 

¡°Electability¡± sums up Biden.

 

Wait, isn¡¯t this election cycle making all of us a single issue voters?
