Sorry guys, I'm out ...

... of politics, that is.

I'm so disgusted with my country's politics that I just can't. We are going to elect a president this autumn and the two best people we can put up there for consideration are Trump and Biden? Really? Sorry, but I am out.

This doesn't make me any less political as a person. I may continue to write about my passionate views on our individual rights as free persons, but I see this election as a chose between the lessor of two evils.

I grew up very engaged in electoral politics. I participated in mock government programs and even argued my positions in the well of the Massachusetts Senate Chamber. I'm NOT pulling back here out of apathy or indifference, but out of disgust.

I turned 18 in 2013 so my first presidential choice was 2016:
- 2016: Trump v Clinton
- 2020: Trump v Biden
- 2024: Trump v Biden, the sequel

I have friends here from every corner of the political map and I love you all, but I just can't. So, many of you may have noticed that I've already stopped hearting or replying to your political posts. Please don't take this as any kind of repudiation (or support) of one side or the other. I'm just out. 😐

My daughter asked me why I put up a sign in the yard for one of the candidates. (I'm sure you can easily guess which one.) I told her, it's not that I like the guy. In fact, I think he's bad for the country. But he's bad like eating junk food is bad, while the other guy is bad like taking cyanide.

@ShadowSister Sorry. I'm out. I'll likely resume my interest in presidential politics after the inauguration, but no guarantees.

Btw, I had to correct the autocorrect. It thought I typed insurrection. 🤦‍♀️

@sarabee1995 I find it interesting how many people across the aisle from me actually feel the exact same way as I do, they just would flip which guy is which.

@ShadowSister Sorry, again, like I said, I'm not discussing this years presidential contest. 🤷‍♀️

@sarabee1995 lol fair enough. The point was just that I think it's almost a consensus that we have only bad options. But we can be done now.
