A few days ago, I got around to voting. It’s probably not a surprise to you that I voted for Kamala Harris. I’ve made a few posts in the past about my deep dislike for the other guy… So, instead of repeating myself, I thought I might make a post about one of the reasons Ms. Harris got my vote.

I live in a community full of differing opinions and views. Where Democrats and Republicans live next to each other and rely upon one another. We don’t always agree but our lives are intertwined and made better through each other. Moreover, I have loved ones and family that vote differently from me. And that’s good! Having a different perspective from someone and working to understand the other person is so important to the continuing development of our communities- indeed, our democracy, as a whole going forward.

That being said, this year, I believe there is only one candidate for President who is willing to listen to the other side of things. As President, I believe Kamala Harris will make meaningful compromises that benefit us all. I believe she will look at problems thoughtfully from as many different perspectives as she can before acting, rather than rashly peddling absolutism and Zionism to make herself look better. After all, the latter is only a path to sowing more division and hatred.

We need that. We need someone who is willing to listen to all of us.

So, anyway, there you go. If you’d like to talk with me about it, feel free to reach out. I am always open to a thoughtful conversation or glad to just listen. I hope you have a great week and remember to vote!
