Feeling Let Down

I feel like I am doing so much ranting about politics lately, but today my rant isn't fully about politics. It's how I am so disappointed with people. They are so full of hate. This election was, in my eyes, a very close one. But one thing I love about my country is that we get the chance to vote. I my 26 year life span, and 3 presidential elections I have had the chance to vote in, the person I have voted for hasn't always won. You just have to roll with the punches. But when things didn't go the way I wanted, I didn't get up and scream out hate or be upset. That doesn't get you anywhere, and it just makes people look poorly upon you.

I dunno, it just makes me sad to see people be so full of hate. I held my friends to a higher standard, and I guess that's why I felt so let down.

Elections...

Okay, yes, I get it. This election season is coming down to the wire, and almost everyone has been sure to note their political standings on their social media. I am even guilty of that. It is nice to stir up a discussion every once and awhile. Especially when it is over important matters, like the future of America.

But what a lot of people appeared to have forgotten is that we are in America and we have the freedom to vote for who we want. Tonight is the eve of Election Day and my Facebook is flooded with many people saying, "Vote this way or..." Society has gotten so wrapped up in thinking that their opinion is the right one, and forgotten that opinions can't be wrong or right. Opinions are how an individual feels. And we have the freedom to vote on our own opinions. So your opinions may be different than mine. That doesn't make you right and me wrong.  It just means that we view and deal with things differently.

I have never been one to really get angry over politics, but tonight I am. I'm not necessarily mad at politics, but how they have changed people. People truly need to remember that America was founded on freedom, and tonight, I am not seeing much of that.
