This is a bad moment of the year at my country.

We are going to have some local elections soon. And I hate it! The different candidates throw panflets into my garden. Guess who has to pick them up to place them at the garbage can without reading! If the candidates said something interesting, I might read them. But all say the same and all are perfect. And finally they don´t do much besides discovering ways to use the money of the country for their own use. But that is not all. They call me to tell me to vote for them. They don´t spend any energy because it is a machine. But I hear the phone ringing and run. And as the world follows Murphy´s laws, I have to be either in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Do you have such problems when there are elections in your country?

It's election time here too. I'm so tired of hearing about it, reading about it and listening about it.

Lately, politics mean saying bad things one to the other. I see no ideas.

@marguicha I don't watch the debates or any of the news coverage, but politics makes people act like idiots. I've seen several posts where people make outrageous claims, as if they have any idea what really goes on. Everything is a show in this day and age, and that doens';t stop with politics.

For me it is the party more than the candidate as the candidate belonging to my area may not do much but nationwide I would want my party to win

We used to get recorded messages from one party but I think a lot complained about it and it doesn't happen now.

When I am elected president I´ll make lots of laws against those messages.

We receive many expensive mailings each week from candidates. There are also many signs in people's front yards along with the commercials on TV. I will be glad when the elections are over with. Have a good weekend.

The election of the century is about to take place here in the US. This is going to be a big decision.

Well, you have heard about what is happening in our country with Trump and now Kamala and all the mess so I think people are really worried about these elections coming up,
