Topic: Is politics a do or die game? (Read 271 times)
Because of politicians, we will all die sooner or later, we need to do something, don't you think?
In the olden days, political seasons and Christmas season had no variance as both seasons were seen as festivities and exchange of pleasantries.
From your title even politician take serious caution when it comes to election because is not a do or die game is either win or loss they believe next time will come which they will go back and prepare for it, almost all the politicians are playing evil when it comes to that time they take their children out to a secure place and make use of other people's children to sacrifice for their own, this alone should be lesson for us but since they have denied us our rights and take us as beggers we have no choose because we need the money. Is only in Africa that play do and die politics, simply because they misunderstood the concept of politics. While some take politics as full time job, it's shouldn't be so. Politics gives everyone the opportunity to showcase your ides and initiatives to rule the people and when you dont have such opportunity you just have to support the next person that I given the opportunity. Don't play politics with emotions you will end up been desperate for power, and once you don't have such power you become blood sucker. Africa politicians are poor managers they only think power and money they will gain when in office and after, not for the good of the people thats why we are not progressing. They will rather die then to leave power, with this kind of mind one with do anything to remain in power.
It is not right to act on emotions many wise people have said not to make any decisions on emotions and not to act on emotions. Hence it is an important piece of advice not to take any action or decision with emotion. But politics is one thing that is very important for running the country: many people become full time politicians. In fact emotions also work in politics but since politics is a competitive game depending on emotions will lead to downfall. And as a man he may have many plans by which he will arrange his country and people for welfare. Therefore a lot of awareness should be applied in the implementation of the plan so that the thought of the future comes first.
This is all a conspiracy, there is a certain caste that creates plots for our story. Think about it, Covid, and then the war... And what's next?

I don't think there a season for the politics they normal run there compaign at any season it fall too, but you can only say that not all the seasons where enjoy the politicians. Because this past election is not fevor much of people's with the way so many peoples apply for do or die elections, just for the support our leaders, and could you imagine after they have all get the position they want; are now turn Nigeria outside down and by the time they where looking for the position, that's how they was promised people's so that they can them, and after a while there now do whatever they like with people's and that's i didn't have any interest on politics, because I will not struggle for what i will not have any single benefits at the end of day.

I haven't heard of a political season, did you mean the season when they run a campaign before the election? Politicians did not have a season of celebration, however, they did whatever they wanted. So we cannot compare it to Christmas, which is traditionally celebrated at the end of the year. However, I will agree that in the past, politics was not all about do or die, but they have turned politics into matters of life and death because of the money they are making from it. Back then, the leaders we chose for that position remembered us, unlike today's leaders, who don't care about us and only want to be in that position and steal money. Many politicians will kill as many lives as they can just to secure their position, not like in the past, if one party loses, the other party will be happy because there will be no hatred between them. In my country, that is why I tell each of my friends not to stress themselves for anyone simply because they want to run for another post, if they do, they will not remember the parents of those who died during their election struggle.

I am not sure what you mean by political season but since you mentioned festivals I assume you mean elections. Not only in the olden days but also in the present day elections are a festive time if the political situation of a country is stable. But when the political system is not balanced then any political activity will become dangerous. Due to the profitable nature of politics nowadays it now seems like a do or die affair, politicians will do anything possible to gat to power and remain in power. Money, power and affluence is now associated with political offices, and being in leadership guarantees being in control of what happens and how it happens. You can not liken Christmas season to political seasons, the former is a time of celebration and the latter is a time when political gladiators flexes their muscles to determine who occupies the high thrones in their countries. Politicians sees themselves as demi gods that controls their subjects instead of seeing themselves as servants of the electorates.
politics is a gamble for those who are hungry for power, they will compete with each other and they want and those who will dream of being a leader, everything is difficult to reach with a healthy mind, it is a game of life and death, it seems there is no end, while the people at the bottom are clear They don't think about political issues, they only think about their own income and the welfare of their respective families because their thoughts don't go there.

In the past, due to people's ignorance and technology not being as developed as it is today , they could easily hide and cover up all the crimes they committed. But with the development of technology today , their dirty things cannot continue to be hidden and we have a more realistic view of politics . If we had no internet, no smartphones, no social networks...I believe they would still continue to deceive us and we would not know the dirty things of politics .
It's not. But you can't tell that to someone who is power hungry and will go any lengths to get it. Where I come from, it's when the time comes to vote you'd see those in power interested in the affairs of the common man because they want their votes. The sad part is that they give pittance to these youths to help them carry out their dirty bids but their own children are cocooned away in other places, oblivious (or should I say) caring less of what is going on.
Politics before wasn't as dirty as this. In the old days, politics was more of the inclusion of social clubs, the patronage system and an expression of opinion through art, literature and architecture which made those who weren't enfranchised( women and and non citizens) to also have a sense of belonging, unlike how we have it now.

I don't know what it's like in your country , but in my opinion , politics is the source of corruption , lust for power , evil...It can be said that politics has been dirty since its inception until now , not just dirty in recent years .

even in the olden days there is no political season we only know Christmas season, everyday are for the politics no day passes out without them not operating in the sector. But when it comes to Christmas season everyone get to hold at the moment in anything that they're doing, because it's festival season but when it comes to political time let me refer it as you say political season. Maybe it's because of the public holiday that makes you think politics do have a season and it's only in time of elections, that we know that it's the time of elections but even before then they were busy doing their thing but you can't compare it to Christmas season. Christmas season both the politician do know it's time for Christmas and they're still operating with their political matter. So for me I don't think politics do have a season. hero member

I am not into politics, which may be why I am somehow behind. I also think this may have led to my curiosity. Is there political season?Back to your question... Politic is a do-or-die game for some politicians, which is why I never like it and I believe is that no politician was elected to a huge position that didn't kill someone at a point.

You don’t need to be told what politics of today is and how it’s been portrayed by those politicians. It is very clear that it is a game of a do or die affair and anyone engaging in it always come well prepared for that. Politics is now a dirty game and those engage in them are now seen as the bad ones in the society and their words are no more believed to the truth of the matters when they come with one. Everyone believes it is for their own benefits and not for the interest of the people. I don’t live in the past or know how in-depth politics are in those days, if it was worse than this or better than this. From my time to now, politics have not been an encouraging activity to put yourself into and should be avoided by all means for now.

OP, I do not know the country you are from as I cannot relate to this your post. If I understand you clearly, during Christmas season, people share gifts and exchange pleasantries as a show of love. If same happens during an election people, then it is obviously not an act of love, but a way the politicians try to bribe the people with gifts and fake smiles just to get pity votes.Politicians who are only going there for their own selfish interests will always see elections as a do or die game and they will do everything within their powers to ensure they win, even if it means brainwashing the electorates to do their biddings and then abandon them immediately after the elections.
Politics was supposed to make lives better, but the few selected have decided to make things difficult for the people. In spite of all this, no one should lose faith in politics, with time, we will get it right.
As of this present time, politics is known to be a do or die game unlike back then when it was a bit fair and the whole system isn't corrupt to this extent. Even with the level of democracy we claim, it's all to no avail because the system has been corrupt, before an election is being held the inner bodies, both those who are supposed to serve as an anti corrupt commission is working together with a specific candidate and at most they already know who the winner will be. Our votes don't really matter, the citizens choice of candidates don't really matter because the whole system is corrupt but we won't stop casting our votes, I believe time will come when everything will be served right.
Somehow the people are already tired of politics, there are only conflicts everywhere, why is that? Is this the scenario?
I disagree with you on that, those who are running the political affairs are not in any way ready to get tired of the game because they are the ones calling the shots, imagine you sitting at a place where you give orders and chose to pay workers and not to pay workers and nobody can come to you and say you're leaving office immediately because of that selfish act, no. Except for those who are not in anyway giving the chance of getting into the political activities like the citizens, those are the set of people who I can agree with you that they're tired of politics, mind you that people are not tired of politics but the politicians.

olden days do not seem to be accurate as it still happens even nowin some countries, even as mine two of the biggest holiday would be election and christmas. this is the time where people go all out and try to seem as happy as possible even if it might not be true this is also both the times where politcians tend to help as much people
just like any holiday though it comes and goes the politcians you see helping people during election season would soon stop once they are in position
