Last night was one of those night’s you will never forget! The 2020 Presidential Debate took over the night. I was dead-set on watching. While I haven’t been the most politically involved before, I made it a goal to fix that. The future lives of me and my family depend on it! Sh*t show, train wreck, “whose is bigger” competition, disgrace…however you describe it, it’s all accurate. Neither…party…won!
As I reflect on last night’s shenanigans, all I could think about was the stereotypical way a lot of men view women, especially women in positions of power. Women are too emotional. Women can’t control said emotions. Women can’t take the pressure that a typically male-driven role brings. Blah…blah…BLAH! Let’s peel away the topics that were supposed to be addressed last night. At the end of the day, this was the most emotional, can’t take the pressure debates I have ever seen! Each party’s pride showed up last night. And to those who still believe that women can’t take the pressure when placed in positions of authority, go kick rocks with no shoes on! This proves that we are ALL emotional beings and when faced with challenges, we have the potential to either A) buckle under pressure and therefore go into attack-mode or B) let our emotions take over and stoop to the other person’s level.
I simply cannot be proud about last night’s display and neither of our candidates should be. One should just be shame and the other needs to vow to never let someone get under their skin so much so that they lose sight of the big picture. If it were up to me, neither candidate would have the privilege of being anyone’s candidate…not even for Student Council Class President. If I had the time, I would research if there is any clause in the Constitution that allows parties to be disqualified and new parties nominated…maybe just as simple as the VP candidates take over and name new VPs in their place. For me, K. Harris / M. Obama has a nice ring to it!
Now…GO VOTE! It’s not only your God-given right, it’s the very thing you CAN control that will lay the framework for your future and the future of your kids! #LEGGO
