It’s been a while since I’ve last posted. Suffice it to say, things have been busy and I won’t bore you with any sort of summary of what’s happened in my life during that time – other than being a productive member of society. What matters is now, the present.
There are good days and there not-so-good days. We all have those. This morning started out well enough (as they all tend to.) Thankfully, most times I can ride the energy into a pretty productive day. But sometimes – like now – the wind vanishes and I feel adrift and alone. And I wish I had some way out of this cloud that makes me feel like I am dying inside.
Especially at this time in our country. Election time. I have so little tolerance for politics and those that use it to fervently define their lives. These are people that think that the people we elect to public office are the root of all of our problems. They bear no responsibility in where their respective lives ended up – it’s always someone else’s fault.
That kind of limited mentality (for some reason) disgusts me. “I’m poor and living in a trailer park and it’s big government’s fault I’m here!” Seriously? Suck it up and deal with the reality that the only person that can effect change in your life is YOU.
Yeah, I’m a Democrat. Republican/Radical Conservatives also disgust me. First and foremost, I am a Human Being. We all deserve respect and dignity. Most of the members of the Republican/Radical Conservatives don’t believe that. They are in it for their own self gain, at the expense of their neighbors. Anyone who doesn’t agree with them can just suck it.
What also has turned me off of politics is what the factions of the Democratic party are doing to themselves. The folks who are still so butt-hurt that Bernie Sanders wasn’t nominated are unsure of who they want to vote for, some even echoing the party chants of the Republican/Radical Conservatives, blabbing about Benghazi, CGI, e-mails, servers, etc. They will vote for someone else just so that Hillary won’t win – exactly what the other party wants them to do. To put it simply:
OUR VOTES ARE AGAINST SOMEONE ELSE, AND NOT FOR ANY VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY
The only candidate who has offered a vision for our country is Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump and the Republican/Radical Conservatives couldn’t do that if they tried. One would hope that if they had a vision (other than the preservation of their oligarchy), they would have done it by now. They never had one. They never will. And now Trump will continue to expand the rift in our country, dividing us and doing anything he can so he can claim that he is right about something. That pompous orange-faced, tiny hands sack of crap is giving our enemies exactly what they want. To me, that’s treasonous.
And it’s depressing as hell. What do YOU think?
I need a drink.
