This presidential election season, I have decided to sit on the sidelines. Here's why. There is way too much negative campaigning. Not only that, political discussions have become way too confrontational. That is not for me.
Secondly, a person may say that they are not necessarily endorsing a candidate or party, but it seems to me that anything that you say about any national issues at least seems like a commitment to one candidate or the other. That doesn't seem right either. Aren't there any gray areas anymore? Do we have to be either Fox or MSNBC? Isn't there a network that considers all sides to every story?
Do you think that we will ever get to the point of having discussions that are about what is best for everyone? If I vote for one party or the other, do I have to support everything they stand for?
Wow, those are some difficult questions. Sorry guys but for once, my place on the bench seems real comfortable.
