It's not that I haven't been following along.
I'm not well versed in the topic of policies, per se. I care about government. I vote.
But I'm not like ENGRAINED in it.
BUT.
I AM well versed in the topic of being a nice human.
Of NOT being a fucking racist.
Of humanity.
Of Science.
Of Truth.
Of Respect.
I don't voice my opinion that loudly about these types of topics.
Honestly? Because between me and Steve's families, there are lots of opinions. So we don't talk about it.
I get it.
I get why someone would vote for the incumbent.
I'm not going to list them out, because well, I just don't care.
Here's the thing for me.
I can't say our President-Elect Joe Biden is my first choice.
What I CAN say is that I feel better when I listen to him.
I feel like he gives a shit about the American people.
He appointed a BROWN WOMAN as his VP.
He wants to combat the Coronavirus and rejoin the World Health Organization.
So yeah. It's a big deal.
And what's probably the biggest deal for ME PERSONALLY?
I told me girls that day:
"Guess what you and the VP Elect Kamala Harris have in common? A couple things, actually."
"What?"
"You're female."
"YAY!!"
"You're half Asian"
"What?! No way! That's awesome!!"
They may not understand the importance of this, but I do.
Little girls aspire to be what they can see.
