And the reason is because no matter how you vote, somebody is going to love you or hate you, whether it be your friends or your parents or people you don’t even know.
I hate when people write off their friends for their political views. I mean, yeah, I tend to like the kind of people who like Obama, but just because somebody votes for McCain doesn’t mean I’m going to hate them.
My parents are voting for McCain and I think my parents are two of the most intelligent and caring people I know. Maybe that’s just because they’re my parents, but even so, they’re amazing.
If someone came up to me and said my parents were idiots for voting for McCain, I would probably punch that person in the mouth.
This is all so stupid. It doesn’t matter who we elect. It’s all the same old bullshit. Can we just stop creating new reasons to hate each other?
I was thinking about this recently. I think young people tend to have more faith that things can change and so we generally gravitate towards Obama.
Older people are more cynical and less likely to believe that thing can be different and so they stick with Obama.
But, I have been getting in a lot of arguments with my friends over this election. Everyone thinks they have it figured out and know their pick is the right one.
I think each candidate has the potential to be good and also has the potential to fuck things up. Living in the south means I am constantly having to defend my decision to vote for Obama and it really is putting unneeded stress on my relationships.
Why can’t we all just agree to disagree?
