Assignment 9- Katie Taylor

There are countless things I care about. All somewhat connected, but never enough to make a coherent statement. I could go on tangents for hours about what I care about in the world. But for the sake of this blog post, I suppose I'll have to settle on one thing. 

For now, I'll write about the extreme polarization of American political parties.

Basically all anyone can think about right now (10/29/2020) is the Presidential race. Politics has become such a headache, even for someone ineligible to vote, like me. What bothers me most, is the extremes that parties will go to to establish themselves separately from each other. Some issues shouldn't be confined to one party, like the right to love who you want to love. It disgusts me how basic issues like equal rights for all, especially in the time of the Black Lives Matter movement have become such a controversial issue. I hate how so many people, if educated properly, would probably have their opinions changed to be different from what their party believes in. On top of all that, although not related (but since I'm on the topic I feel like I have to say it) it shocks me how some people will go to such lengths to constantly beat down, kill, mistreat, and deprive other people of their basic rights just because they hate their skin color.
