SOL20 Slice #3: Reflections on politics



I am participating in the
All participants are sharing stories about moments in their lives, writing 
 every day for the month of March 2020.
Thank you, Two Writing Teachers!



I have to admit,
I'm really sad that Amy Klobuchar dropped out.
Yes, 
I know,
she didn't have any chance at all.
To me, 
she represented
sensibility,
reasonableness,
balance.
I found that very hopeful.
I just want to be calm again.
I thought she might take us away from the constant hysteria.
The incompetence.
The disrespect.
The hate.
The extremes.
The ugliness.
The ALL CAPS.
I fear that Elizabeth Warren is going to be dropping out, too.
I'm losing faith.
Ugh.
I don't like this process.
How can a party that represents so many others
still churn out old white guys?
I really wanted a female candidate.
I believe in women,
women as leaders.
The election
is likely to be
one old white guy against one old white guy.
Nevertheless,
it will still be,
SANITY versus INSANITY.
I know who I want.
Yes, I will vote.
