On the doubt about general election in hk

it is very surprising that, among those well educated teenagers or young adult , not to mention those older, believe that general election is not suitable in hk. their argument is that, hk people are not wise. people will elected some idiot and make bad policy.

for those, I always tell them an analogy:

If you go to a resteraunt, you chooses some shit, you can order something else next time, if your dishes with a cockroach, you can change it! however, if you were forced to eat some shit, you have no choice and have to eat it day by day!

it think it is very obvious. if we make mistake, we can learn. but someone make us have a bad day, what can we do? ok, we can fight back. but it is not a good or easy way.

another analogy I would like to tell the
is:

a fresh graduate always faces a problem on Jon hunting - experience required. everybody complain about this. I need to have some experience to have some experience? take a time machine? something apply to general election. people cannot say, since this city never have experience on election thus, we may do it wrong, so better wait until we are more "wise", more "experienced". I think it is totally bullshit. I bet that no parent will tell their kid don't learn to walk, since you have no experience, you will fall an be injured, you better crow for your whole life.

After I told this to may friend, they suddenly realized that "not wise" enough is not the reason for not having a general election. it is just the power-holder don't want to share the power, coz no matter how deep shit they made, they are not the one who suffer.

I hope this idea will well spread among the hk public.

one more thing, people will also argue that, many people were blindly supporting china interference on hk issue. but I think, as long as they are hk people, live in hk, they also suffer from bad policy. through general election, people will discuss, talk, and educate each other. by time to time, only the goo will pop out.
