To The Presidential Candidate Haters,
At age 20, I consider myself decently informed and open-minded to the politics occurring in the world around us. I'd like to think I know enough about the economy, environment, fiscal policy, and educational matters to form an opinion and affiliate with one party (or, closely enough to one party).
And sure, let it be known that there are countless things I disagree with going on in both parties right now. It seems as though this pool of candidates isn't nearly as strong as prior years (which, we're all pretty well aware of).
But what we all need to do is take a step back and think about how angry we're getting at these candidates. Is you bashing Trump supporters on my newsfeed going to change the fact that Donald Trump is a narcissist who is exceptional at being very politically incorrect? No. Is you making a joke of Hillary's prior (and ongoing) allegations going to change the fact that she KILLED Bernie on Super Tuesday? No.
In today's society, people are just so constantly angry at one another. If you don't agree with someone's political views, fine. But why is that a reason to put down someone else? We live in a world where if someone's beliefs are not our own, then they're either: 1. Wrong 2. A racist/narcissist or 3. Too "soft".
What I'm wondering is, how can we make a world where we can have our own opinions without being labled superior, selfish, needy, lazy, unintelligent, etc.-- Is it even possible to have your own opinion without so much controversy?
There will never be a time when every single person is in agreement. And heck, this is actually a good thing. But I look forward to a day when each person can express themselves without being told they're "wrong"... And without all of this anger.
Pre/post every single debate... I've never seen so much hate and anger on the Internet in my life. It's time we take a step back, and realize that we're actually called the UNITED States. And whoever becomes the president, or even the republican/democrat nominee, is someone we're going to have to unitedly support.
Rant over.
Sincerely,
Tired Of Angry Facebookers
