Because wheather you know about them or not they permeate everything in your life..

Well it's good to be informed. This forum is just a cesspool of stupid when it comes to politics
-
It shapes the way you live.
-
Because when nobody cares the government gets to pass shady deals legally.
-
I could ask you the same thing
-
You don't have to go crazy about it like the rest of us losers, but you should at least know a bit about what people in politics are talking about so you can decide whether you should support it or not.
-
Easy. You shouldn't care.
-
I guess because "it's yur cuntry" But really you should think to yourself "I'm gonna vote for who I think is better and not try to convince people who disagree with me otherwise" Because 99% of them won't change their opinion/vote and if they do it'd take a while to do it with just 1 person, and would be impossible to do it enough to change the outcome. Tl;dr: just take your vote and don't argue with others over it.

5 RespuestasHow old are you, is the first question? If you can't vote, don't bother with politics. When children get involved in politics nothing good happens and they just end up getting brainwashed by whatever adult tells them what to believe. If you can vote, you should. Politics affects your everyday life regardless of your involvement in the system. It is pathetic that this freedom touting country has such a low voter turnout whereas the rest of the Democratic world has turnout in the 90%. Our ancestors fought for freedom, against slavery, and against the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] for half of the population to not care about their country and not vote. Disgusting. And it's exactly what the government (the corrupt politicians, mostly Republicans) want. Less people at the polls. They want to keep the American people entertained and dumb to the inner workings of the country so they can get away with corruption, theft, and murder. You should do everything in your power to educate yourself politically and form your own opinions. Politics is essential. The government has become powerful in the fight against political intellect.

Well, maybe I can convince you with a... [b]POLITICAL MONTAGE!!![/b] [This is where I would show a political montage, but while searching, I discovered that nearly every political montage is incredibly boring... Who would've guessed? Anyway, I got Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" instead.] [url]https://youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g[/url]

You should care about politics because it will give you a small part in choosing who will be your overlord
-
What ever side of they aisle you fall on, from the car you drive, the money in your pocket, to the food you eat everything is political.
-
Well how much would you care about it? If you want to, what I would do is think about some issues you care about and form an opinion on it. Then look into that opinion and practice talking about why that opinion is right. Others might agrue back but just hold your ground and don't let them push you around. I would stay away from party views and look at the issues one by one.
