As we approach another political season, it is crucial to reflect on our past experiences and recognize the patterns that often unfold. We must confront a harsh reality: we have been used. It is time to refuse to be manipulated once again.
Consider this: have the politicians who sought your support and vote in the last election been in touch with you since then? Reflect on your interactions with political representatives and candidates over the past few years. Have you felt their presence or support in addressing the issues that matter most to you? More often than not, the answer is a resounding no.
How have you been impacted since the last election? Take a moment to evaluate the changes in your community and personal life since the last time politicians and candidates courted your support and vote. Have the promises made during the campaign been fulfilled? Have you seen tangible improvements, or have things remained the same, if not worsened?
It is a familiar scenario: you suddenly become relevant to them when another election looms. They begin to call on you, asking after your well-being, expressing concern, and making new promises. This sudden surge in attention is not a sign of genuine care but a strategic move to secure your support once more.
Understanding this pattern is vital. Political engagement should not be a seasonal affair but a continuous dialogue. Representatives and candidates should be accountable and responsive throughout their tenure, not just during election campaigns. As voters, we must demand consistency, transparency, and genuine commitment to our well-being.
Next political season, let's break the cycle. Refuse to be used again. Hold politicians accountable, demand genuine engagement, and ensure that your support and vote is earned through consistent action, not fleeting promises. It is time to transform our political landscape by refusing to be mere pawns in the game of power.
