I'm Not A Democrat, But The Internet Seems To Think So

Just because I don't agree with you, doesn't mean I side with one certain party.

Everyone nowadays seems to be super obsessed with what political party you are apart of or associate your self with. Some are quick to delete you from their social media accounts, and occasionally even shun you from the family because of it. Ever since the 2016 election, I've seen my fair share of both parties and equally hated both members in the general election.

I hate how extreme many Republicans can be with "Make America Great Again," because if I'm being honest, we have always been pretty bad throughout history. In all honesty, I would have much rather had Bernie Sanders win than the two that managed to get up to the top. And Now, I know that many hot-headed republicans are itching to get into my comments screaming at me and calling me a communist because I wanted Bernie Sanders to be in the top two of "Americas Got Idiots In DC."

But If you are one of the many people on the Republican side that can sit through someone's argument without doing that then thank you, and let us continue.

America was built on stolen lands, we forced natives off their homes, murdered them and tricked them into giving us things. All in the name of everyone's Christian 'God' because we came seeking religious freedom. When we got our lands it wasn't enough so we pushed and pushed them until our 'great' nation cast them aside in 'reservations' out west with practically nothing.

We build buildings and harvested crops overtop of the resting places of the natives' ancestors, and treated them with the most disrespect. We build our nation on immigrants from all over, America was a safe haven for the unwanted from everywhere. We put countless Japanese-Americans in places almost exactly like concentration camps after pearl harbor.

Slavery wasn't abolished until 1865, Segregation wasn't fully abolished until 1964, And now we want to refuse refugees because they're fleeing a terrible government, cry about 'jobs being taken' by illegals when you could easily get up and go get one, and continue to judge people.

So far only a handful of things coming out of America have been 'great' like our many scientists screaming about climate change, like Bill Nye, who all want to fix the earth's ever-rising climate change but get shrugged off because it still snows. Countless Scientist gets cast aside because the same ignorant people crying over someone else's choices in life refuse to believe in anything other than their own blind faith.

But hey, if you don't want to believe in facts I won't be the one to stop you. However, I would enjoy it if you didn't feel the need to shove religion into politics, or any argument you get into with anyone.

Call me a democrat if you want, and If being a decent human being, and asking the government to change and recognize the real major problems in our torn country is being a Communist, a leftist, a Democrat, or a snowflake, then I guess you can call me all four.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
