How involved are you in politics? How involved do you want to be in politics?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm a voter, and I discuss politics a LOT. I've recently been trying to learn more about how things really work in this country, so that I can effectively write letters to help make changes. I've also been trying to learn the level of written German necessary to write such letters. It's something I'm really passionate about, and a lot of friends tell me I should go into politics as a career. I feel a lot of reservation though...I like the idea of volunteering for the party I vote for (Green) and getting more directly involved, but I feel like I'd never really get anywhere because I'm foreign-born (VERY rare here), have an accent (even rarer), and I didn't study any of the fields people in politics normally do (law). I sort of feel like I might not be able to make much of a difference, but I hate the idea that this might stop me, because it's one of the biggest things I feel is wrong with this country.
Does anyone have experience getting involved in politics? If so, how did you get started?
