I have a very cynical mindset when looking at and considering politics. Because of this, I find I have to do my own research about anything political, because I am one of those people who distrust the media coverage of politics and politicians themselves. I make political judgements mainly based on my own values and beliefs, but also align with my father's political opinions where I see fit. I am a swing-voter, so election time is when I am most politically engaged, I focus on the policies of the parties, not the personnel. I do not care who is the face of the party, or what they tweeted yesterday, as long as they deliver on what was promised during election time, I will vote for them again.

I feel like in this age, a growing understanding is that millennials are increasingly becoming politically aware and active - but I feel the opposite. I feel it can be hard sometimes to know what is going on, and thus accurately, and with purpose, chose who you may vote for or side with. I feel that I often support of reject policies based on very superficial knowledge of them. Also, I often side with my peers or people around me.

My country is not active about political issues. And so far from what I know, most of the people in my age follow what their parents told to do so. However, I believe most of the opposite political parties are divided through Long-term benefits and Short-term benefits. No one political party has completely right or wrong answer. The reason why Trump won was that he showed Americans the quick benefits that they could get.

I support a politician or political party if I feel that their policies and what they prioritise align with my values. I'm also heavily persuaded by discussion with my parents and who they choose to vote for at each election.

I think it's oftentimes difficult to separate the politician's private life and their public persona only because we often decide someone's personality based on what we see of their private lives and make judgements on their character and thereby, on how well they represent the people they do. With that in mind, I make judgements based on a mix of what the person is 'like' and what policies and actions they take in the political sphere

I’m more involved with US politics because I see posts of Trump’s campaigns and policies everywhere.

I usually decide on why I don’t like certain politicians based on how they treat their citizens and how much importance is given to their basic rights like education, healthcare, safety, cultural tolerance, etc.

At times, I’m forced to judge the actions of the politicians as the actions of the party because they’re acting on behalf of someone else.

What turns me off of Trump is that he has decided to not give importance (at least that’s what his actions show) to basic human rights based off of people’s race, sexual orientation, gender and as such threatens an individual’s safety and choices.

I'm not particularly politically engaged. Most of what I know of politicians and political parties is found from the media I consume, and the information and opinions of my family's own political alignment. Generally, I align myself with my family.

I make judgements on their actions, but not as a whole political party. If one person from the party decides to not paint themselves in a way that I agree with, I will not support the whole party. And once that judgement has been made it is hard for me to think differently of the party.

I usually judge politicians based on their parties quickly, because of my preexisting bias towards or against whichever party I support. However, I try my best to understand the backstory before I judge politicians on new bills/ policies.

I find myself more involved with US politics than Australian, mainly due to how media savvy Trump’s team is (if he wasn’t, none of us would be talking about him). It’s the shock factor that blurs the line between policy and entertainment.

My decision to align myself with politicians or political parties is usually founded upon two key pillars. If their opinions and goals for Australia are similar to my own and how effective they have historically been at implementing them.

I am not support any politically, and I am not stand with any political leaders and parties. The reason is the government did not give the public much power to choose. In a sense, the power only belongs to a part.

There is no party I 100% support, each party has elements which I can agree and disagree with. It’s hard to choose a party to vote for or a politician that is trustworthy. Politics has become too confusing and younger generations are left out of the conversation. The frustrating nature of politics means people tune out as they find it too hard to understand what the truth, what’s a lie, what’s good and what’s bad. Often majority of people voting are unaware of what they are really voting for (myself included). The fact no one implements any real change because they are scared to lose voters. A quote I recently read said “The age of party democracy has passed. Although the parties themselves remain, they have become so disconnected from the wider society, and pursue a form of competition that is so lacking in meaning”. That’s what politics has become a competition.

To support or oppose a political party depends on its participation in the media. It's also based on their decisions on social events, whether wined the minds of people.

I don't fancy myself as being really politically engaged, so I like to do research on politicians and their parties as elections approach and try to align myself with those who I agree with the most. However, I will admit that discussions with family, like my parents and older brother who are more politically engaged, influence my decision making.

In general, social media can be the reason why I support or reject a politician, although they may express some introductory opinions to gain support. But since Trump became the president of the United States, my views have changed because he keeps talking shit on Twitter.

I believe how a politician uses the media says a lot about their credibility and objectivity i.e. Whether I believe they're using propaganda and/or political discourse, or in some cases, media populism, in order to attract public attention and/or gain political support.

First of all, I support a party fitting with my line of thoughts and beliefs. Usually I distrust politicians, as I think the process to even get some visibility in the political sphere requires mostly money and an unhealthy want for power. So my judgement is based on my ideology and the charisma of the politician.
