No matter who wins the election, we are done waiting for change.
We’re all tuned in to CNN or FOX News waiting for answers. The answers have been in front of our faces for a very long time. No matter who wins the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, time is up for both parties.
It was on Facebook where an anonymous liberal commenter wrote that socialists, communists, and those leaning to the left of the Democrats were being too impatient about change in the United States. They wrote that we needed more time to make the changes Americans have needed and demanded for decades through several conservative and liberal presidents. We need to be more patient, that’s all.
Apparently, the United States needs more time to finally come up with a decent healthcare system, as if COVID-19 didn’t already make us hyper-aware that our healthcare system is absolutely barbaric. We need more time, I guess, to finally get to a place where this country treats Black people like human beings, ceasing the extrajudicial executions by agents of the state. We need more time to erase the homophobia, ableism, and sexism that made this country so “great” to some. We need to flip senators and congresspeople and it’ll get better.
