Why Being an Active Citizen is Important

Politics, Was it Always About Choosing Between a Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich?


I was just watching my old South Park episodes (yeah, I am a big fan of South Park) when I came through an episode called 'Douche and Turd'. In that episode, South Park Elementary is dismayed after their long time mascot, a cow, is banned after a PETA protester protest (didn't see that coming, did ya?) the usage of cow as a mascot because it is unethical and cruel. Disappointed by bland choice the school provided, Kyle and Cartman decide to rally for a new joke candidate, a giant douche and a turd sandwich respectively. Long story short, the rallies get too far and the whole town exaggerating about the election while Stan ends up in banishment because he doesn't want to choose between a douche and a turd.

Anyway, have you ever heard that 'neither did I' jokes?

Neither did I. Oh sorry, back to topic then. This episode is hilarious, especially when the mascot have to debate in presidential debate style, but the point is, when it comes around politics, you will always have to choose between a douche and a turd. Okay maybe the turds is covered by a delicious sandwich (?) or the douche is in its wonderful wrapping, but in the end they just douche and turd. Don't believe me? Watch your parliament debating a useless trash on TV (Century Gate in Indonesia for example). It was like watching douche spraying over big fat turd and vice-versa.

So election is useless? I've never said that, think about it carefully. A load of turds could fertilize your arid land and douche may useful for mmm... well... women hygiene. They may be full of shit and have a load of craps, but without them, who want to think and act globally to "maintain" and "stabilize" your country? Anything of your choice will have a major effect in determining the future of your country, maybe the turds are better maybe the douches do, if you did not vote, you have no right to complain? Get it? Neither do I....

Remember the next time general election comes to your country, apathy won't do any good. These are turds and douches you are voting for, you have to be extra careful when considering which one you want to vote for, choose the lesser evil and your country will do just fine to become less miserable than past five years.
