Yes we are talking politics. Not in an effort to further clutter your media outlets with more election jargon, but to talk about important aspects about the election and why it touches so many strings with many of us.
First off the elections are an integral part of what it means to be an American, or so we are told. Many will tell you that it is your responsibility to vote, because so many fought before us to earn the rights. They will also follow that up with, if you don’t vote you can’t complain.
While it is true that many fought before us to establish the right to vote, there is also truth in the fact that the fight is not over. Being able to vote is not the peak of liberal freedom. In fact it’s only the base of new obstacles we must climb.
How can having the right to choose between two people that many passionately dislike, be freedom?
A choice between the lesser of two evils is not a choice.
Recently a business owner friend of mine who owns a plumbing company in Mesa Arizona said publicly on his timeline that not voting may be the most impactful way to exercise your right to vote. At first I did not agree, and the idea to just throw away your vote like that was irresponsible.
However like I said earlier choosing between the lesser of two evils does not seem like the right choice either.
If you follow philosophies like the secret, or think and grow rich, they tell you to envision and think of what you want, not what you don’t want.
When we base a decision based of what we don’t want, were in many ways submitting to not really having a choice.
Do you want sausage or bacon? What if you are a vegetarian and you want neither.
