So I didn’t vote today. I started writing this post about how confused I was about politics, but that’s not true. I know what’s up. I just can’t make up my mind.

I feel like if I went and voted today it would have been on a whim… just whoever I felt like voting for at the time, and it would certainly not be as informed a decision as I would hold myself to the standard of making.

One issue that I have made my mind up about is global warming. And I hate hate HATE how close-minded people can be about global warming. I have one incredibly Republican friend who tried to convince me over the summer that global warming is just pure baloney. I tried to listen to her and respect her opinion… but then I just got angrier. I mean honestly, if global warming is the big hoax most Republicans want it to be, does that really matter? Plans of action to reduce global warming can only improve the environment if they reduce pollution in the air. So even if global warming turns out to be untrue (which it won’t), it’s a win win for everyone if we make efforts to breathe cleaner air. And moreover, global warming really should be the concern of everyone. It really has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats.

That being said, I do regret not being registered to vote and neglecting to vote today. Republican candidate Bob Corker denies the validity of global warming. I’d like to see his degree in environmental science. But no one else cares… because maybe they’ll get to meet his daughters. Well, I hope you all enjoy meeting his daughters as New York City sinks further and further into the Atlantic.
