While it is true that most of the election-year policies are promises that end up not being fulfilled, the policies that are chosen by the candidate to push the most are also a reflection of their character and beliefs. And just like you've to distill the fake from real promises, you've to do the same for the character they project, because how they present themselves is not always any more real than the policies they promise.
This is how I feel reading almost all discussions in regards to US politics. It's so vague and handwavy sometimes I feel like even if I read the news I have no idea what one is talking about. Why do people feel the need to not be direct? I don't get and my gut feeling is that this is very US-centric.

Vote against people who think government is nothing but the criminal gang that fights for you against your perceived enemies.
