Can't Figure out Which Candidate is best for you?

[Kirux 1,224]

So this is a time of great political arguments and turmoil here on the internet. It has even invaded our own wonderful nation of KH13. Some people are not familiar with either US candidate, whether it be due to living in another country or just not keeping in touch with whats going on. Some of you are new to the political scene and truly want to know more about who stands for what.

 

A lot of political news sites are biased, whether largely or slightly, to either the left or the right and it can be so hard to gather objective information about either. A lot of sites also go into deep confusing, boring, details. I heard about this site on the radio this morning on the way to work, and I've been playing around with it for about 15 minutes and learned some things I didn't know.

 

It's a great place to start at, and if you desire to know more in depth about either candidate afterwards, feel free to google them.

i don't really need to check it out. From what i've seen most people think romney is a liar and obama's just making shit up to get re-elected, but a lot of people say obama's better than romney.

That's choosing based off here-say, and that's not a good way to elect someone. Being informed about the candidates and making a decision based on facts to reflect what you personally want in a President is more important than who everyone else wants you to vote for.

 

Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to this country's future.

thank you for posting this, kirux

I think everyone should read this

if you're going to vote for (or considering most of us can't vote yet, support) a candidate, then you should know more than just what tv ads and your parents say
