I don’t know about you but I am looking forward to this election day being over. Aren’t you tired of those political ads that just bash each other? Neither one is saying what they will really do if they become president, rather they are just saying horrible “facts” about the other. We have become a country of arguing liberals who would rather protest, banter or show anger than actually do something about the situation at hand which is simply: We need to fix our country. And we need to fix it NOW!
We are still in the midst of a pandemic, waiting on a vaccine, and the two candidates just argue about who started the virus, who doesn’t care about the virus and so on and so on. After awhile I just hear blah, blah, blah, blah…..
Before the pandemic we were experiencing a resilient economy, extremely low unemployment and job security. Now we are experiencing one of the highest unemployment rates, people losing jobs, people dying from Covid, and most of all a scared society. Then, in the middle we have George Floyd’s death which inspired riots and looting. Yes, it was not acceptable for him to be brutally killed. But is it acceptable for people in major cities to be afraid for their lives. Streets burned down, stores looted and we are now a society of uncaring individuals who feel the need to protest. The liberals even fought about the choice for Supreme Court judge. They did not care about her vast experience and knowledge but rather her beliefs in abortion and conservatism. Let’s get real people. Let’s pledge allegiance to our flag and be proud Americans once again.
Personally, when all the votes are tallied and this is over I will be enjoying a large drink. I may not be happy with the results but I will be very glad to not hear about this election and hear people bashing each other. Let’s try to fix our society, move on with our lives when the vaccine in developed and learn to be appreciative of what our country represents. Our country needs to return to your heart and you need to regain respect for it. As Americans, we need to cut our party ties and go forward with rebuilding the best country in the world.
I will be renewing my wine subscription to California Wines. We all need to relax after this and enjoy our families for the holidays.
May the best man win. Or not. Let’s just move forward and hope for a better 2021.
I’m excited for this to all be over, too. However, I feel I must have heard the difference between the candidates differently than you did. I fear more violence will hit our country before this is all over. Even though today is election day, it could be days if not longer before everything settles down and we have a winner. I agree that we need to be a nation that cares about our country and each other. I hope we are able to return to our one nation under God soon. And that we can get beyond Covid very soon.

I hope so too. Now as we wait (and probably will continue to wait) for results I am frightened to think of what is going to happen around us until we settle down again.

Has it always been like this during elections? I ask because I moved here from West Africa, I remember we used to point to the USA and how your democracy is devoid of violence and verbal assault. I was shocked to hear and see the hate and vitriol. What happened?

I don’t know what has happened to our country. I will put lack of respect in the mix as people just behave as they want to and not think of others. While in a pandemic, people began destroying properties and protesting. Not a way to live in a civil democracy.

I’m sure the Americans will be glad when the election is over. I couldn’t imagine just hanging on the edge of my seat for so long.
