I feel most US politics to be low bar disinformation campaigns, both sides.
Literally all I do here is focus on:
their platform and what they represent
their values and what we can hold them up to
their reforms or programs that will impact me and my community
When it becomes provincial/national, very similar except that my scope expands to things like:
reforms and changes in industry
healthcare changes (we have universal healthcare here, so both sides know to have good incentives within their platform)
public employment, services and their funding
I also have a vested interest in public education and progressive and inclusive programs that are funded by the government. I don't like seeing my public money being wasted on shit tier grants for projects that don't drive anything for our kids.
That's it. That's what I go for, so I don't often get carried into anything political until it impacts my community or my job, my family life.
