Politicians have sold souls to high bidder
When will the American public decide it has had enough of the gun violence plaguing our country and the partisan ways of our politicians? What will it take to get people involved, caring about what leadership is or isn’t doing by holding them responsible. The best way is to research (from multiple sources) what candidates stand for, see if their values match yours and vote.
Politicians have sold their souls to the highest bidder. Sen. Cruz, Gov. Abbott and Trump attended the NRA convention in Houston, despite a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Are these people tone deaf? I cannot express how vile, ignorant and narcissistic their attendance there was to victims and their families. Each time we have a mass shooting, the politicians say, “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families!” Does anyone really believe politicians care about you?
We as a people no longer hold our democracy dear; no longer are we the strong, stoic people we once were. As the older generations die, what will become of our country? Young adults will need to step up; are they being prepared in schools for this task? Wake up, America, before democracy is gone!
