Elections
What a headache, its elections season again.
Yeah, this is when we get to choose our president, Mr. Driver
Well, I for one don't know why I should vote
It doesn't matter much anyway, whoever we choose, decisions are made at the top
by the one who sits at the top for life and has final say
Mister, that's not the way to talk! When you vote, you vote for someone that can be either strict or flexible
one who understands our needs or mucks up the country's budget
don't you think these decisions affect all of our lives?
Hadj agha is right, look at all the countries that want a piece of us
I for one will vote for whoever stands up to the foreign powers!
There are too many countries who think they can mess with us and take our natural resources
What's the use, we can't even use our natural resources
While our young people study abroad and are afraid to return
We need to be willing to compromise and have good relations with the world
you can be strict or soft when dealing with foreign countries
but domestically, there's only one way to rule this country:
with an iron fist!
we need someone in charge who stops at nothing to achieve his goals
I know what I'm talking about, one hundred people work for me in my company
good one, Hadji. How many people have you had to discipline in your company?
I don't need to discipline or punish anyone
I don't need to discipline anyone. if someone doesn't work hard or tries to cheat me he's sent home
and then when he can't pay his expenses his wife will do the disciplining for me
Oof hadji that's harsh, thank god I'm my own boss
You've got it all wrong. president is not the boss who does the disciplining
By voting for him we're the boss, and if we don't like him we'll kick him out
Having elections every four years guarantees that the president will do his best to pursue our interests
or else we can vote in favor of another. That's the whole point!
I'm surprised that you're so naïve
you still don't know their only motive is gaining power and getting rich! None of the candidates care about our interests.
they're just looking for the easiest way to get money and power!
All of you know what type of person should be in power, but why don't we hear the obvious?
do elections even have a point if we can't choose the top position?
look, even when someone getting married promises to stay with one person for life
and cannot imagine one day wanting to separate
even that person has the option to get a divorce
aren't these elections useless if we can't even divorce ourselves from the one with absolute power?
Or are the four candidates they allow us to vote for just as important as the person at the top?
please stop at this corner, I'm getting out
