I am really tired of it too.  But it is important, so I try to keep informed without being overwhelmed by it at the same time.

Re: Does anyone feel the same?

Yes, indeed but it doesn't bother be because I've been feeling this way every election period for the past 40 years.  It's no different this year than in any election year.  I don't listen to the tv ads, I have mute button my tv and I use it when a politicial ad comes on.  I don't even listen to blah blah blah on the news.  I read what's going on online so I don't need to hear it 10000 times a day from other sources...so....mute button.

Thanks for the replies, well I like to get other news not just political. I dont watch tv all day or I would watch a movie but then I will get more ads..lol. (like I said I dvr shows to watch later at night etc so I can scan out the ads). So anyway, I have music on now in the background each day instead. And I always listened to music too but I liked to get world news also. So I will just stick with music now. lol.


 

 

you may want to watch or listen to the BBC channel.....also easily accessed online.

Re: Does anyone feel the same?

Nope! I love politics...anything to deter me from floodings, bombings, murders and other depressing news. Politics today are like reality TV gone nuts. Best entertainment EVER!

not tired at all......because each and every day new information is revealed and to me that is IMPORTANT.


Over a year ago when the 'race' started, I was already bored and fed up.  Like most elections and candidates - promises, mud slinging, exposure, etc.  Yet the more they bark this n that, the more things don't get any better with any of them.  I think it's all just done for entertainment now.

I don't pay any attention to it anymore but what I AM SICK OF is the almost daily robo calls asking for campaign donations. Not saying which candidate the money begging is for (always for the same one) but the calls come from several different numbers so just blocking one number does no good.

Re: Does anyone feel the same?

I don't need any more information.  It was a no-brainer from practically day 1.  A sad no-brainer, but a no-brainer, nonetheless.

Re: Does anyone feel the same?

I am really tired of hearing and seeing one candidate in particular. Day and night, I see him and hear his name. First thing when I wake up and put on any morning program.

Yes, I am tired of politics, but especially this one.  It's not that I am for the other side, I really don't know.  It's a terrible choice

Re: Does anyone feel the same?

I couldn't watch it or listen to it all day.  I watch news in the early morning before work and then I'll tune in between 6 or 7 and maybe 8 or 9 in the evening for a show or 2.

 

I don't want to listen to the same thing over and over again, but I want to keep up!
