Why, if we know the outcome of the Presidential race more than likely won’t be announced until tomorrow morning, are we all on pins and needles tonight watching and reading about the latest voting updates?
Americans thrive off of adrenaline rushes and the fantastic battle. Democrats may be starting to panic seeing the president’s numbers climbing, but there’s still a long night ahead of us. So, if you’re feeling the effects of your day (like I am) grab a cup of coffee, a warm blanket, and settle in for the night…it’s going to be a long one.
Sitting at work today, a coworker of mine (DeAnna, here’s your plug) and I were discussing office politics during the election. This country was founded on the right to make our own decisions and choices, and amongst our choices is the choice to vote or not to vote.
Everyone was given equal right to this freedom and though it is a choice and a privilege, we should also allow those who choose not to vote to live without feeling like they are committing a cardinal sin and damned to hell. There are simply those who will choose not to go to the polls today and ignore all the ramblings of us bloggers. These people are exercising their rights as Americans and we should allow them to live in peace.
Why is it that once we have decided something is right or necessary, we try and force our beliefs on everyone else around us? Now if only P. Diddy would stop with the ”Vote or Die” campaign and return to the music.
