Ideology has replaced old fashioned politics, the vitriol is boiling over, and the primaries are just getting started. Will We the People survive until November?

As a member of the Guard, I can and do run for office. I'm a member of a party and have been endorsed each time, but my primary loyalty ends up being to veterans and service members. It makes it very difficult to embrace the binary spectrum definitions of politics as "left" vs. "right."
I wish the system didn't focus so heavily on broad ideological differences and focused on a tight examination of specific plans and policy goals. That's how I run (probably why I lose).

Sadly, service members (even if you count both active duty and veterans) comprise a very small percentage of the electorate. Thus we don't register as even a blip on the radar of most political campaigns. But you just keep on trying. Remember that all politics is local and local offices are where politicians learn their craft.

Always study the candidates and vote for the canadidate I like the best. Just don't complain if you don't vote.

I only complain about people who don't vote if they complain about the politicians or anything they influence.
