It’s no secret I lean left/liberal and I make no apologies for that. One week from today we in the United States will have a new president and that scares the hell out of me. Sometimes you have to speak out about things that deeply concerns you and this is one of those times. You can’t be silent when you see something wrong or threatening. I have too many friends who are scared out of their minds because they are looking at their lives being severely impacted by the desire by some to discriminate and turn back the clock when things were good for them. People on the fringes are in peril. Something has to be done before it’s too late.
If you wish to stop following me I understand. What is happening is too important not to say something to defend the rights of 100% of our population. Too much is at stake. Now is the time to act.
Thank you for your care and the space to express myself. Even when we disagree we can be civil, courteousness.
I am angry. Angry about how selfish people can be that they don’t want others to have the same things they have and to enjoy those freedoms of citizenship. Some folks wanted the clock turned back to a time that wasn’t good for everyone. They bought into the idea that America wasn’t great anymore. Why in the hell did a man who seems to have brought foxes into the hen house get elected. What also pisses me off is why did people of faith give this person a pass for the boorish and unethical behavior he has displayed in the past and basically torched our current president for wanting to give people health care and the right to marry who they choose. To me its party, ideology and greed above all else. Very sad and dark days are ahead for everyone.
The big number for American’s is 270…that is how many electoral votes from the electoral college it takes to become President Of The United States. There is also the popular vote number which is important too. There are other numbers like how many Senators and Representatives from both parties will be in congress in January. Today lots of numbers are being thrown around. It will be interesting to see what those numbers will mean to people in a tangible way. Let’s see what numbers will mean for us as we discover how they are going revealed to us.
I declare this weekend as politics free weekend. No political posts, let’s change the mood and tenor and atmosphere. Only pop culture and stuff that makes you smile. Let’s have a spooky Halloween weekend that can be a diversion to the every day we have faced recently. I am sure folks from across the world would be grateful. Make it positive, light-hearted and other stuff. What do you say?
Should I watch the 3rd United States Presidential Debate? Is it going to make a difference at this time for me or the nation at this point? I think watching it by Twitter or some other way might be good. My mind has been made up for a long time, so I guess I would be better served by watching something else. Maybe I am too chicken and I am afraid that my candidate is going to screw up. To be honest the political cycle this time around has been very caustic and very mean. Let’s see how I feel after watching Survivor: Gen X vs. Millennials on CBS TV.
