Ah-Election Day
2016 has finally come and gone. Thank God! What a mess the 2016 Election
campaign was and an even bigger mess with the Election. Psychologists said it was a very stressful
year for those that had to vote. No wonder. There really wasn’t anyone to vote
for, which is why I didn’t vote. I haven’t voted for the last several years.
Yes, it bothers me sometimes because others may vote against what I believe in
or against, but voting doesn’t always come out the way I want. So. Why vote?
Proof is in the pudding, they say, and oh-so very true, too. Look at this
election as a perfect example. Personally, I believe that it is high time that
a capable woman is elected to the officer of the President of the United
States. Not any woman, of course. One that is capable and experienced. We
certainly have seen with Obama what happens when the Commander in Chief has no
experience, and will see again under President-Elect Trump who has even less
experience. So, why not a woman this time? Sure, she’s a liar. She’s arrogant
and can’t be trusted but that be can said of all politicians. Honest politicians
don’t last in the game very long.
Frankly, I knew
that from the outset Trump would win and he did. How did I know? I just felt
it. I also know from being around men so often that for some strange reason,
people in American just aren’t ready for a woman President. Most are men that
feel that way, but some are women. Anyway, over the years when I did vote, it
became obvious that my vote didn’t count. As the years have passed and more and
more voters voted for something, someone somewhere would cry foul and then the
Courts got involved and overthrew what the people voted for. So, why vote? Why
vote when what you voted for suddenly becomes “unconstitutional”? It wasn’t
unconstitutional when “the issue” was placed on the ballot. Same with this
year’s election.
Over a million American’s voted for Hilary Clinton. She won
the popular vote. However, she didn’t win the Electoral votes, which really
matter. Your vote, my vote doesn’t matter. In the end it was the votes of the
Electoral College that mattered more. They voted for Donald Trump. I would have
voted for Hilary Clinton, not that I trust her. I just felt she’s be more
competent in the position. I get bad vibes about Trump. But why bother voting when
the Electoral College would counter my vote. Why vote at all when the Electoral
College counters your vote? Besides, any American one out there that actually
thinks that any politician, including Clinton or Trump actually care about them
is just plain stupid. They care about themselves, their family and their
friends. Hence, I no longer vote. I’m a Veteran and I don’t vote. For me, voting
is a crock. It’s a movement in futility. Frankly, I believe that Trump is
right: the election is rigged. Of course, this is all my humble opinion. You
may or may not agree and that is fine with me. That is your right. What do you
think? Were you happy with the elections? Do you vote? Why or why not?
That’s it for this time. Thank you all for visiting with us. Until next month, every one please stay safe. Smile. Be happy. Show compassion. Be nice to others. Put a little love into your heart. Please speak up for those without a voice, whether it be a dog, cat, elephant or monkey. One person, one voice can make a difference. Read a book. Review it. Share it. Pass it along.
Make adoption your first option when seeking a pet. Adopt. Don’t shop. Can’t adopt. Please consider fostering one. The animal will have the taste of home and the shelter will cover the expenses. Can’t foster? Make a donation or volunteer at your local shelter. Please, don’t hunt. Unless you’re starving down in a ditch somewhere, there is no logical reason to do so. Whatever you do, however you do it, please be a voice for the animals large and small. All it takes is one to make a difference, good or bad.
Together, you and I can make a difference. If you like what you see here, please consider signing up to become a follower. Please feel free to share this post with others.
