After some thought i feel like spiritually and logically im not meant to be apart of politics. Like not even discusion wise or anything to pick a side. I see bs in conservative beliefs and democratic beliefs. I feel inbetween and heres why:
Ive been watching A LOT of debates. And ive come to the conclusion that both sides make sense, but not all the way for my way of living and pursuing God and myself.
Republicans talk ALOT about policies and economic shit while democrats talk alot about socialism. I think theyre both necessary. As far as core values i lean more on the left than the right.
HOWEVER the lack of empathy on both sides is astounding to me. The right just wants everyone to suck it up and stop playing victim, but heres where i see contradiction in what theyre saying:
Alot of time during the debates one side is displaying emotion (left) and these emotions are being “debunked” with number statistics (right) but i dont get that. Yes these nimbers make a point and are correct and its impossible to disagree with them,
But theyre disregarding individual and collective experiences and circumstances. Yes abortion is a sensitive topic and there are statistics to justify that its “murder” but there’s CIRCUMSTANCES that lead to that decision
What if a woman got r*ped and was impregnated? Do you value a bundle of cells over someone whos life has been tainted and potentially changed forever with this upcoming child? Also, 40% of women do not qualify for maternity leave if they are
Employees of smaller businesses. These are some conversations and perspectives that i have yet to hear in these debates, and yes, having a child and adoption may be an option, but what about still birth, what about complications or underlying health issues
That may lead to the end of ones life? Even if you have the child and give it to the system for adoption (which currently still has over 400,000 children in it in the US) theres still an increased mortality rate from 10.3 deaths for every 100,000 to 23.8 as of 2014.
Over two thirds of these complication related deaths are preventable. And yet they still happen. Sure, its not a huge mortality rate, but thats still someones loved one. Having a family is important and its a choice to carry that child. Its your like and your paycheck in the end
On the liberal side theres a lot of victim mentality and shame if you dont agree with what they believe, and i am guilty of that myself. But then it contradicts the idea of coexistence.
My heart focuses on that last word in the previous tweet. We all die one day and this positionon this earth in the body will eventually turn to dust one day. How can i make the best out of my existence? Thats what i ask myself daily. And i only have one real anwser to that
Not causing anguish to others and letting other people live, care, feel and learn. Thats what’s important to ME. i want to be comfortable in my own skin, no amount of money made me feel that way.
I went all over the place in this thread but i guess what im trynna say is, i dont see a place in politics for myself. This has been a lingering realization in my head. I agree on anything that doesnt hurt anyone, i agree on love.
As long as theres a “left” and “right” thats one side versus the other, and theres a division. Coexistence cant exist this way.
