here we go.

On this momentous and potentially historic day in American history, here are some thoughts.

I don't care about politics.
This is fine but just know that you also don’t care about health insurance, minorities, gay rights, women’s rights, equal pay, the military, immigrants, the economy, the environment, traveling on a plane, police, fire, water, electricity, the internet, education, health care, and all kinds of other things.

They both lie.
I hear this a lot about Biden and Trump and while true, it’s also true that both soda and draino are bad for us. One of them, however, we drink, and one of them we know will instantly kill us. There is a spectrum of “bad for you” just like there is a spectrum of “lie”.

We’ve been through this before.
This is definitely true. And at every point in the history of humanity when people had to make choices about which direction they wanted a society to go, some people made a helpful choice, some made an unhelpful one, and some didn't make any at all. Just because my child dates someone who isn’t that great, when they start dating someone again, who they say isn’t that great, I don’t say, hey it’s okay you’ve been through this before… just keep going.

My vote doesn’t matter.
Also kinda true. But imagine if we could vote in a party that agreed with this and wanted to change some things so that every vote did matter. Then would the vote matter? Also, if the vote doesn’t matter, just go ahead and vote for… Biden. Or Trump. Wait, it’s not that easy? So… it does matter. Maybe just to you?

I’m anxious, scared, nervous, excited, and just want this day over!
Today is either going to be really really good day where it feels like we shine a little more light on a pretty dark year, or it’s going to be a really really hard day where it feels like the darkness gets more suffocating.

I can hardly do anything, but I’m hoping America finds its way (or at least a better way) today.
