It’s funny how yung candidate most lauded by his supporters for his supposed sincerity is the one na pinakamalabong kausap and pinakamadaming flip flops and kelangan parati interpretahin pa ng mga supporters ang mga pinagsasabi nya
My problem with his supporters is that they have become too involved and lost their objectivity. They select which news articles to believe and disbelieve. If others made the same speech as duterte did they will be enraged but somehow duterte has a halo effect but he is definitely no angel
the same could be said on both sides, hey? the supporters could just possibly know their candidate better and you are the one being presumptuous could it?
Yes. It affects every one. In psychology this is called loss aversion
Isn't the whole point of the campaign to reach out to people who don't know the candidate too well and sell them on his merits? He's not doing a very good job of it
Well, not for me at least :p
Do they really know their candidate? Literally: Day 1: There are no such accounts Day 2: OK there are accounts but there's not much money Day 1: Cut ties with Australia/US A week later: Who am I to cut ties with Australia/US? Reputation for anti-corruption –admires Marcos, supported Binay. Now he'll send Binay to jail. China: enter bilateral talks, give up claim to West Philippine Sea; now he'll go over there and plant a flag. OK. There is so much more of that. This is stuff they castigate other candidates for but which they are completely blind to when it's Duterte. Speaking of what else they're blind to: https://www.facebook.com/carlosconde.ph/ photos/a.527960643942515.1073741825.136793129725937/943857712352804/?type=3
