Mere politics?

Whether left or right, politics aren't just a set of mere beliefs.

They're what guide the decisions of politicians and their decisions decide what direction our country goes in. Politics DOES have an interest in you as a result of this.

Do you like or not like what's going on in the country right now or at some point in our past? If you answered yes or no, you've just shown how politics isn't some mere thing whose presence can be likened to something small. Politics is very big. So is the notion of "where our country is headed."

When I was a kid, I always thought that politics was some boring thing that people took part in... many things about politics are dry & boring such as the insanely dry language used, etc, but the results we feel & experience sure as heck are not!

Our freedom & pursuits of happiness stem from which political beliefs are dominant in policy-making at the local, the state and the federal level. This is why We The People need to be informed. This is why the media needs to be honest. This is why we need to hold our elected officials accountable as well as those they appoint to a particular position.
