A few days ago I posted about how I no longer want to be a part of American politics because I no longer feel it can change. This may sound like I am just another part of the problem. Though at first glance this may seem true, but this doesn't mean you have to vote to change America. My thought is that America is so broken that voting for things (especially in national votes) won't change them.
So what do we do? We concentrate on our communities and schools. We work hard to make the communities we live in a good place to live. The good we do in a community will translate to the bigger picture more than one person could by themselves. Community by community and state by state things will change until the federal government finally has to change.
A friend told me that there is a feud of generations going on. The two have very different views and do not see eye-to-eye. On may get their news from online media and social media circles and one gets their news from traditional media such as tv, radio and papers. But this doesn't make either side wrong, it just shows that the country is transitioning. Things will change, and I am sure both sides deep down know it will happen, but for now it is frustrating. I am sure many things will done and said that people will regret on both sides, but in the end we should end up in a better country. Hopefully in the end we will end up a bit more unified.
