...politics and the presidential election? Are you familiar with the issues of each candidate? Do you think the average American is?

I approach the subject in broad terms because the truth is just not out there anyway. So, to me there is no reason to get loaded down with potentially and most probably false information.
And no I don't think most Americans even pay attention in a broad sense.

I watch C-Span for about an hour a day, at least. I know that the average American is not familiar with the candidates. Some of my friends do not like to argue with me about whom they support because their information comes from mainstream news, they do not think for themselves, and they are embarrassingly unaware of world affairs and how things work.

I try to be familiar with the issues of each candidate.
