Voting Matters

Happy Monday! Another week. Another post.

I have one topic I want to really talk about. Voting. Now I wasn’t always able to vote, but now that I can I think it is very important that people go vote. We as people want change and it starts by us making a choice of what matters. If you give up the opportunity to make change, it’s like saying you don’t care for better or worse.

I was talking to my boss the other day about voting and trends and the nation. Now I love talking to her because she is a white woman with realistic views. She keeps it honest, respectful, and hates Donold Trump.

​I was telling her how I always follow news and social media. I low key love celebrity gossip. What has been catching my attention is how Kim Kardashian has been in the media in regards to prison reform. Last I checked she wasn't a lawyer or anyone of political standing. Last I checked she was a reality TV star, and owned a cosmetics line of sorts. Last I checked she was a mother, wife, daughter, and sister. Last I checked all she had to say about prison reform was her opinion, not years of school and a degree to back her up.

She is being called an advocate. She is being given a platform. It makes no sense to me that a reality TV star can go to the white house (which is corrupt already) and ask for a prisoner to be released and it just happen. But the funny thing is my boss replies and says, “you have to remember the President is a tv reality star himself.” Which is so true, like not only is he a business man but also a reality tv celebrity. There are people, i.e. lawyers and judges, who are put in place to work on issues like these. If they can't get it done, how howwwwwww howwwwwwwwwww is someone who has no training getting it done? What does that say about our judicial system? What does that say about our government? Like really? Never am I saying that our system is perfect or even close to fair, but this isn't either. How much research did Kim K do? How much did Trump do? Did she have to bring on a lawyer? These are questions I obviously can't answer, but I wonder.

I wonder why there’s no requirement to have some type of governmental seat before becoming President. I wonder why there’s no requirement for having sanity. It is amazing that anyone is able to put the foot forth and run this world but there should be qualifications, like there is with any other job. You have to know what you are doing in order to get the job done. Having been a businessman one would think that would better help our countries financial issues. No, because at the end of the day Trump is making it up as he goes along. He’s putting the country back ten step after it only made five. Very sad and tragically I don’t even recognize what this nation has been becoming.

So for for those who take the time to read my long ass blog posts. Go vote! Vote! Vote! Vote! Let your voice be heard. Don’t be silenced or pushed to the side. Like Gandhi always said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Until next week. Work hard, and live your best life.
