I think voting with your dollar is much effective then voting at the ballot boxes since politicians go to where the money is and end up not fulfilling most of their campaign promises anyway.

- JacKTrocinskI 7y agoIt's really not though, there are many candidates in a political election, many political debates, many topics, in order to make an informed decision it takes a lot more than just going to the ballet box and ticking a person's name. The fact that the mass media can't be trusted makes that getting correct information even harder. To make a properly informed decision to vote for a candidate you can truly say you believe in and whose agenda you know inside out would take days if not weeks of investigative research in my opinion, how is that easy?
- throwaway5752 7y agoThe mass media is actually pretty trustworthy for the most part. It's incredibly easy to make a binary decision between two candidate about who is better for the climate. You overcomplicate it. In the end, for most places, 1-3 people are your choices. Party affiliation, etc is not pertinent. Just research your actual choices, and make an informed decision. Most of the time it will be obvious, and if it's not, then maybe you have a dilemma. But don't paralyze yourself by assuming the dilemma.
