I remember about ten years ago when I was first getting interested in politics. I wanted to know who I should be voting for, nothing anyone was saying made much sense to me, I wanted to know who I should be voting for. I spoke to a colleague about it and she recommended that I go and research the three main parties to find out what they stood for.
That research took a long time and over the course of ten years I found out that I am a socialist. Obviously then I should be voting Labour, but no, wait! Jeremy Corbyn is a socialist and yet he is being attacked by fellow Labour people.
What I like about the Labour Leadership Election is that, for some reason, Tories are getting involved in "who they would like" as Labour Leader and why. Err, you're not supposed to like it, it's Labour, not your party.
The way the Labour Party is currently undergoing conditioning reminds me of how Abraham Lincoln must be turning in his grave at the current state of his Republican Party.
I don't understand why we have to campaign to save or even help the week and the vulnerable. The statistics of the people that have died after having their benefits cut are appalling, why aren't people on the streets rioting?
And people wonder why I'm depressed?
I'm starting to think this is a cycle, it makes me depressed so I share it and that makes me depressed.
On Monday I went on a bit of a sharing splurge, I shared loads of political stuff and I think this didn't help me. What's more I know a load of people have stopped following me, not necessarily unfriended me, just stopped following the stuff I post. While I don't need the vanity of having people agree and I'm certainly not going to post something because someone else doesn't like it although I am going to stop sharing the political stuff.
On an anti UKIP page I follow some girl is forever sharing stuff displaying, what she believes, to be racist posts. I often look at that and I think "is this your life?" Although she potentially has the moral high ground what's the point? It's dedicating your entire life to the pointless task of always being right, what's the point of that, you're not winning any friends.
I get frustrated by social injustice, some people think I'm jealous, no, just frustrated. If I were jealous of rich people wouldn't I be jealous of all rich people? What's more I follow a load of gambling pages on Facebook and Twitter, whenever I see a big win off like £5 I always offer my congratulations. I believe in karma, be nice to the universe and it'll be nice to you.
People think they've worked me out and know what I think. They make assumptions based on this and then form ill informed opinions.
I know some people feel opinionated about this, feel free to get in touch, privately or publicly.
But yes, the good news is I won't be sharing political news on Facebook anymore! Yay...
