There is a huge difference between the two.
Yesterday I was approached by an individual that basically attacked me on my methods of how I am running my campaign.
The complaint was that I had just too much presence on social media and that I should concentrate more on getting to know how to run the city.
I mention constructive criticism and vicious nagging because I feel some people just like to complain or nag and offer very little support when it comes to someone else's dream or vision.
I initially took this person's comments as Constructive Criticism but later changed it to Vicious Nagging because I felt there was no positive impact on the comments made.
Here's the deal, if you approach someone with a complaint or criticism... follow it up with a reason or theory behind your comments or just keep it to yourselves.
Social media is a huge part of most people running for office, but I do realize it's only one piece of the puzzle and not the whole campaign. As for Vicious Nagging, I call it vicious because it's done without good intention and nagging because that is what it sounds like when it's being communicated. In my campaigning I have incorporated social media as a mean of communicating with the public. I do feel politicians are very often disconnected with the public and rely solely on name recognition to win elections. So, as far as learning the process of running a city I told this individual that learning how to run a city is an every day process and one must never stop learning. When you are elected and sit on the seat you ran for, only at that time will you truly start the learning process. Before this time you are only learning in theory. Through social media I have connected with the people of Torrance on a personal level. I am one with the citizens and this is where I want to be. I invite constructive criticism as it can only help me in my endeavors. Nagging? No thank you. I live, work and love the city of Torrance and that is my platform.
