Fed Up

Dear People who are obsessed with the election,

This really isn't about politics. This is about my observation of those who are obsessed with politics.

I am tired of hearing you fight over who is the best candidate. I am tired of hearing you diss your friends based on who they plan to vote for. I'm tired of hearing that anyone who doesn't vote for your candidate is stupid, ignorant, an America hater, or "unchristian". Please remember a few simple facts.

1. Since God is not running for President of the Unites States, all of the candidates are fallible human beings with strengths and weaknesses, all of whom will make mistakes.

2. Each person will assess these strengths and weaknesses from different points of view. Since people tend to have different ideas of which issues are the most important, most likely their conclusions will vary.

3. It's ok that people will come to different conclusions about which candidate is best because each registered voter in the U.S. is allowed to vote for whoever they want to.

4. You will get farther by not attacking people. There are a lot of people who would actually be interested in hearing you give a rational explanation for why you think your candidate is the best, however there are very few people who are interested in hearing you diss everyone who doesn't agree with you.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Sincerely,

Fed up in Kansas
