Do yourself a favor before you vote. If you haven’t already done this – please do some decent research regarding this year’s candidates to determine who is most qualified to lead our country in the future.

Gather and research the contents of what the candidates believe in – from many sources starting with the websites of their parties.

Unfortunately, in your research you may’ve already noticed plenty of exaggerations, lies, misinformation, personal attacks, and hype out there. Try sorting out the content to ultimately pick out and evaluate what the candidate’s true aims are with regard to the various common policies. Try researching the theory they each have for that belief of that policy.

One good idea is to check out online quizzes that help you see how your political beliefs match your political parties and candidates. Google these online quizzes as there are a number of them.

Another good evaluation is to look at the level of implementation details that each candidate presents with regards to how they plan to achieve each aim. Are there red flags?

Red Flags

• If no real plan exists on how to achieve the aim, that’s a red flag.
• If no real data is being offered on how to achieve the aim, that’s a red flag.
• If implementation details on how each of the aims are to be tackled is vague, that’s a red flag.
• If implementation details appear to be too unrealistic, that’s a red flag.
• Is the candidate’s view on the aim inconsistent over time? Unless the candidate’s view is continually evolving due to a new scientific theory with solid data backing it, then for that aim it’s a red flag.
• If the candidate’s source of information is not revealed or is unknown, then it’s a red flag.

Characteristics of a good candidate

A good candidate would help people realize what the candidate’s true ultimate goals are and what their theory is with regard to each of the major aims.

A good candidate should also have visions for how the country can consistently develop better foreign policy relationships around the world and how America as a whole can help increase the cooperations within the United Nations Assembly.

Call me a dreamer

A good candidate offers long-term optimistic visions that makes the pie bigger for all of us – including humanity. The aims should be futuristic in that it helps ALL Americans from ALL walks of life dream and pursue a better way of life that not only benefits America as a whole, but also one in which humanity can also benefit from.
