🇺🇸 With election day upon us, it's time to ask ourselves: How well do we understand the political framework that shapes our lives? 🗳️ Of course, this is not just about voting; it's about being an informed citizen capable of making decisions that shape our democracy. I know it may not be a popular stance, but I think understanding politics is not just a right, but a responsibility of those who want us to collectively have better, more functional lives. When we are disillusioned and or overwhelmed, opting-out becomes more attractive, and that's exactly the opposite of what we need to be better.

Voting in this Election is important

'Twas the Monday Before Primary Day by David Washington 'Twas the Monday before Primary Day, and all through the land, Candidates were preparing, with their teams at hand. In polling places, the machines were all set, And voters were eager to cast their vote, you bet. But first, some rest was in order, To face the long day ahead with valor. So candidates closed their eyes and drifted off, Dreaming of victory and the people's scoff. When they awoke, they reviewed the data, To see where they stood and what they had to do. They analyzed their strengths and weaknesses, And crafted a plan to win the election's recesses. They prepared for their General Election opponent, Knowing the battle would be tough and potent. They studied their strategies and their moves, To ensure that victory would be their groove. And finally, they thought about their campaign strategy, To make sure it was successful and savvy. They wanted to appeal to voters near and far, And show them why they were the best candidate by far. So as the sun set on the Monday before, Candidates were ready, with nothing more. They had rested, reviewed, prepared, and planned, Now it was time for the voters to take a stand. So let's all go out and vote on Primary Day, And make our voices heard, come what may. Let's choose the candidates who will lead us well, And create a future where all can dwell. ******************************************************** Agree or disagree with what we said?
