Pointless Fodder

I will not preach, force my opinion on you, berate you if you feel differently, nor will I behave as if my thoughts are superior.  Each one of us will vote based on our belief system.  We will vote on our paradigms which have become the frame for which we view life.  Paradigms are built from our very first memory, our individual experiences, our upbringing, our environment.  Each one of us will vote with integrity BASED on our life filters.  The pretentious assumption that you're less than smart if you don't vote for who I think you should vote for is a ridiculous waste of time.

Those of you getting your political insights from the media, taking rumors for facts, spinning headlines, taking snippets and clips here and there to reinforce why your beliefs are superior to another's.....it's hard to take you seriously.  Just a bunch of Patrick the starfishes.  

No one needs to hear your thoughts, unless you are specifically asked by someone who wants to have a genuine and respectful convo with you.  Does that even happen anymore?  We can dream. 

Guess what?  It doesn't matter who you're voting for, what you believe, I respect you.  I know you are simply following your instincts as I follow mine.  If I learn we are opposing parties, it won't matter.  I love you regardless.  I won't post on social media broad declarations of how stupid you are if you don't feel the same way as I do.  I certainly won't argue with you.  Neither of us will change our belief systems. 

​What completely and unequivocally matters is I vote.  My voice will be heard then, because that's when it counts.  The rest is pointless fodder.
