It’s over!! The election is over!! Congrats Obama…but that’s not even why I’m happy. I am SO done with the mudslinging ads, the whining on both sides, promises from both you know will never be kept, local ads digging up when a candidate picked their nose in 2003 and the friggin’ political emails. I had to actually use filters in 2 email accounts to stop the political emails because I was losing respect for people. I cannot believe how preachy and judgmental people can be about politics. I have NEVER forwarded a political email to anyone that I didn’t know they specifically felt the same as I did and even then, I could probably count on both hands how many times I’ve actually forwarded them. Out of 50 contacts have 4 people I could knowingly forward things on to but I just think it’s such a personal thing that it’s tacky to do so because people who would get their political knowledge from email forwards should be stripped of their rights to vote.
I had someone forward a political email and say “this is why STUPID PEOPLE vote for Obama!” to a bunch of her friends. Now she knowingly sent this to Obama supporters and is essentially calling people who are supposed to be her friends stupid to their faces. I don’t care how you feel about a political candidate or how completely stupid you think they are, that’s just disrespectful. America is about having freedom of speech but it should also be about having common courtesy and the filter intact to not alienate people around you because of something as stupid as your political views. No wonder the world looks at us like we’re pond scum because we’re so arrogant about politics and our freedoms that we take for granted. I hope that is about to change. I hope the state that this world is in will teach people to eat a little humble pie and stop being so hateful and unite. There is no right side or wrong side in politics because we all live in the same country so our interests should be in making this world a better, kinder place. Let’s hope the next four years are better than the past eight. The Republicans had their shot now let’s give the Dems their turn.
