A Banner a Day: Abu Mohammed and his sons

Banners showing support for one of the candidates.
I wonder what good those support banners do to anyone. Abu Mohammed and his sons support Abu Yousef
or Shouq, Ghazal, Nouf and Mohammed Nasser support Abu Miflih
seriously? Oh so Abu Mohammed and his sons think I should vote for Saleh? just Who the heck are these people?
Today I received several SMS messages asking me to vote for different candidates. One of them speaks to me as a member of the holy places protection group, funny I don’t recall being a member. Another one sent to me as a member of some consumer-related group, I suspect it’s the consumer protection association but I can’t be sure. I’ve recently joined the Jordanian consumer protection association, but having my phone number listed as a member does not mean it’s OK to send me such messages. Just because Raed Hamada sells Hommos and seems to be liked by the CP group, it doesn’t mean I should support him (it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t either).
*لأ بس بصراحة شكله إلو شعبية غير شكل الأخ صالح اللوزي! بس مش ملاحظين إنه لافتات المؤازرة قلبت الشوارع نوعًا ما زي جريدة الرأي؟ يعني لما تفتح صفحة تلاقي موظفين مصنع القطران بباركو للمدير العام بالسيارة المرسيدس الجديدة، هيك إشي… وشو بالنسبة لوصل سلامي؟ ذكروني بإذاعة عمان أيام برنامج البث المباشر، لما كانوا يحطوا أغنية: على جناح الطير لابعت سلامي…

Tribalism is inherent in Jordan. It’s essential and indispensable for the sustainability of the regime. Don’t expect it to disappear soon
Enjoy your democracy
