May I make a suggestion? [View all]

Yes, I know I am new to the board and I probably have no right to do this but I am. The reason why I am saying this is not only because of the races tonight BUT because of a post earlier today asking if Megan Kelly's looks was the reason why people on this board felt the way they did about her.


Here is the thing we have got to realize: We are all citizens of this country. We are not each other's enemy. National politics have helped to make us so polarized. Once upon a time (with the events of certain times in our history) we were groups of people that worked toward a compromise for the common good of the country and our fellow citizens. Yes, at times we fell sort but at times our compromise did so much good.

Here is the thing we need to stop looking at our neighbors and family as the enemy ruining the country. We need to start dialogging about each other. We need to see the human in each of us. Maybe if republican and democratic neighbors start compromising on small things when faux news start spewing and those terrifying political ads do start playing we can have dialogs about the real issues and maybe change some minds.

Yes those races had been closer than they might have been. Maybe I am speaking out of fear. In my mind I am seeing one political party taking over this country in almost a coup like strategy with help from one of America's greatest advisory.

Maybe it is the helpless feeling I have because I read too much and this whole Trump RUssia thing is unfolding so slowly. I am just thinking if we humanize each other not lecture but conversations and humanizing events it might make things better the next election.

I'm tired of looking at enemies every time I go to the store and I'm sorry if I offended. Maybe I just needed to vent. I understand if I am kicked off.
