There is but one agenda in the republican party and that is to get their way no matter what they must do. We see it with the treasonous Russian/republican association to undermine our democratic voting process. We see it with the closing of over 1000 voting stations in the south. We see it with what North Carolina republicans did yesterday by voting on an override of the democratic governor's veto after having given their word they wouldn't call a session during the 9/11 memorials. The list is long and cruel so if you still think this is just politics then you are a nasty soulless person yourself.
Gone are the hopes in my soul that we would vote with our innocence and vigor to change the world for the better. Instead it seems too many Americans are voting with their cynicism and need to punish those who are not them. I will always be altruistic and shoulder more than my burden whenever the opportunity arises but it seems for now that those like me are not as abundant as I had hoped. Yet I do understand that the voting in special elections is always smaller than general election numbers but at such a time in our history when so much is wrong and can be corrected simply by voting, I fail to see what else in life is more important.
However my hopes are not diminished with the fact that republicans are liars, cheats and traitors. Because in the end whether I am here to see it or not the best of human nature will triumph over the worst of human nature or the end of our species will be due. Either we improve our behaviors or our behaviors will end our species. I am fine with either but would much rather our species shake off the demented culture brought about by greed and hatred and rework our society to not only improve our relations and interactions throughout the world but to move past the levers of division and forward ourselves into what has always been the human species manifest destiny. To reach out beyond who we are and include all that we find along the way!
