Interesting and well-written write-up. Definitely worth a read.

I found it interesting how lots of people seem to get their views entirely from social media and have no self-experienced real-life experiences.

Like, most of their takes seem to be getting from social media. There's actually short interviews with each of the candidates in the article. Then, i wonder, isn't it the same for many of you/us? Who really gets their news from own-life experiences? Who really goes out to the people to see how they're doing? Basically nobody. It's not good if we rely on articles too much for our input. Because articles are biased and often incisive. We can only find our own worldview if we see the world through our own eyes, with as few middle-men as possible, because middle-men blur the picture. It's like the telephone game. The longer the chain of information transport, the more distorted the informations get. It's best to directly make own observations.

I mean, it’s better than everyone getting all their media from the corporate cable news networks.
