Voting or not voting.....

Voting is not the only way to express your opinion about politics and your country reality, there exist other ways to do that. Since 2001 the students have made a strong campaign to have a good education,  with marches and different kind of protests showing they want better public politics and equality, and of course, a free and quality education , even that, the politician have always said the young people is not interested in politics, they don’t care the future of our country. They say that just because the most young people don’t vote, but the problem is they don’t listen us, they do whatever they want and not what we need. It means, the government will never make the changes we need and we want,  that has to be done from inside the system, that’s why I think we have the power to change our country in our hands, we can to work for a best country, for a quality lifestyle, and that calls “poder popular” (popular power), we can to do that with our family and neighborhood, and if we don’t have a representative candidate, we have two choices, a void vote or propose a candidate.

 

In the actual presidential campaign, we have a historical situation, 9 candidates, and we always had two! With that on mind, we can to imagine there is a diversity of ideology and government programs, so, we can’t say this time, we don’t feel represented by anybody. Many people want to change the actual economic system to can change the social reality, so, we all have to vote to make it real.  Also, we all should to have some considerations and know how difficult was to take back the democracy, so, I think that giving my vote I’m exercising my rights.

About the campaigns, to be honest, I think are really poor, the most candidates don’t say anything, they only have a jingle and pretty people smiling like if the real life would be so nice and easy. That demonstrate the people who are candidates, the most of them are corrupt persons, and they should to be in jail, we can’t have that kind of people in public charges, because a president has to be an honest person, who wants to work for the people and the country, not for the money or the power, and obviously, that person musts to have knowledge about politics.

Finally, the campaigns in my district are horrible, because the posters in the street are disturbance, and contamination, they think that with a poster behind other we are going to vote for them, instead that they should to make informative campaigns showing to the people what they want to do, not only a poster with a smiling face, and using arguments so stupid like “I live here, so, vote for me”.  And honestly, I would like to be a politician, because I would really represent to the people, not a politic or economic group, and I would like to be “the voice of who don’t have a voice”, the poor people, the animals, the indigenous people, etc.  and of course, I would not make that kind of campaign, I would like to do something so creative like the Giorgio Jackson’s campaign (they don contaminate with posters, they use a stencil to mark his name in dirty streets and walls).
