The election is over! Well, according to most people in the United States, it's over. There is a battle within the government with who actually won the election. Was the winner Joe or Donald? Most media outlets, newspapers, bloggers, radio stations and people have declared Joe Biden as our next president of the United States. The fight will continue well into 2021.
Yet, the social issues, environmental concerns, COVID-19, economic restructuring and increasing crime rates still remain prevalent. There is no topic or concern that outweighs the other. They each are significant and apart of how we live day to day. And with all those concerns, people still showed up to exercise their right to vote! People of the United States (all races, genders, religions, economic status and values systems) expressed their opinions through voting. Each person with their ballot spoke for itself. Each county and state spoke for itself as well. The election is over. Ballots have stopped coming in. Again, the American people have spoken. The idea of going to higher courts justifies those who disagree with our voting process. Ideally, going to a higher court for alleged election fraud has not happened before in history. The challenge will be met with a win or a loss. A president will still be in place and chosen by the people of America. Then, the same issues are on his desk the first day of duty.
Mr. President 2021 needs to handle the state of our economy (stimulus money and small business grants), the state of our environment (wildfires, hurricanes, global warming), the COVID-19 pandemic (vaccines, P.P.C., hospital bed totals, research, mask regulations), social injustices (police brutality, NAACP, Black Lives Matter, increased crime rates, police training, mental health awareness and treatment) and restructuring of our education (online classes, virtual learning, school closing, social distancing, need for more teachers, better pay). So, yes, our election is over, but the real work has just began. Let's continue to fight for what's really important and not get off track by smoke and whistles.
Peace & Love
