First election since my teen became a registered voter. It's funny to see the different campaign ads we get: candidates send her the "young, hip, trendy" ads and I get the ones about Medicare. Am I really that old?

I find it amusing how easily they violate our privacy and bombard us with advertising, buy our data and then try to convince us with gimmicks rather than political ideas.

At least it happened to you with your son, it happened to me with my wife who is two years younger than me, then started the mockery towards me because for the country I am already an old man.

It would be fun to understand to ask our children for whom they are going to vote and why because in my opinion I think that things do not change much between one side and the other, but maybe at that age if you see a bigger difference.

When you step back and really consider everything that goes into an election, it's strange how our democracy is one big marketing campaign, isn't it?

"strange" isn't exactly the word I would use. "Scary", maybe?

Anyone taken REG this Q yet and can give insight on what areas were heavily tested on for you? It's my last exam and I'm on a marathon to pass it before FAR expires. First time I took it last November resulted in me getting a 74 and losing all motivation to study after being so close to finishing, so I honestly haven't touched Becker in almost a year and don't even remember which areas are the big ticket ones to focus on. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work. There’s a school of thought that says that men are “friends” outside of work with their coworkers so they are more likely to lift each other at work. Women however are more likely to separate their work friends and their social friends. I think I fall in this group. Cont in comment
