Land of the Free

For the longest time I didn't feel the need to post my political views or anything about politics for that matter. Everyone with a different opinion feels the need to shove their opinions down your throat. I'm educated. If you think for a minute arguing with me over Twitter or any social media site is going to change my opinion you're clearly mistaken. I hope it's that way with everyone. I like to think of us as a society that is smart enough to do research and not let others change your mind. Sometimes I think that makes me naive. So many people are so stuck in their ways that it doesn't matter who is running as long as they're in the same party. I am registered no affiliation because I like to make a new decision each year based on who is truly the better candidate, not who is Republican or who is Democratic. Another thing I am so sick of hearing is that "Obama didn't do anything" "he made things worse." Well first of all, he can't be doing nothing and making things worse at the same time. The changes he's made have helped me and others I know personally, but most of the big changes can't be seen until later. He hasn't lied. He may not be able to change everything he planned to, but that doesn't mean he lied. Congress has to pass everything which is the reason a lot of his changes haven't been made. No president is going to do everything they say they're going to, and if you believe they will that makes you the uninformed one. I will never judge someone for who they choose to vote for, because that is their right as an American citizen and one that I appreciate. I just wish people would agree to disagree rather than hate everyone who's different. I hope no one that reads this thinks I'm shoving my opinions down  your throat because that's the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do. This is just me ranting about the problem with people who are unappreciative of our democracy system. With that said, happy voting everyone and may the best contestant win.
