It’s been a while,
but I’m still here. I have a multitude of blogs to write and there’s a chance
that many of them will probably seem outdated and irrelevant by the time I
finally get to post them, but today I felt the need to say my piece before the
world celebrates/commiserates/whatever. As with most of my writings I don’t
know where I’ll be going with this, but I’ll see you on the other side:
The last few weeks here in Australia, and no doubt in many other countries around the world, have seen an abundance of information, reports, statistics and much more regarding the soon-to-be-held US election. On the internet this is even more rampant. I’m not sure what the reaction is on Facebook but on Twitter it’s practically non-stop. Everyone is an armchair American. I don’t blame the majority of people – the media saturation has almost been enough to make us forget what country we’re living in, but I’ve come to a point where I feel the need to say something to people who are getting on social media and distinctly telling Americans, or pleading with them, how they should vote.
‘Why?’ I hear you
ask? Well, if everyone else gets to have an opinion and wars with people on
Twitter and such, I might as well try and get my piece in before the results
are in.
I’m not
pro-Republican or pro-Democrat, I honestly don’t give a shit how their country
is run. Given the reaction of many other people I would, however, seem to be in
a minority. Perhaps I should contextualise first.
