Debate Time

This week we got to see the two presidential candidates, Donald Trump (Republican) and Kamala Harris (Democrat), go head to head in a fierce televised debate. The debate drew in an astonishing 67.1 million viewers and unsurprisingly stirred up controversy. This debate was hard for me to watch because I feel like the respect between the two parties has been demolished in recent years. Our country is divided by our differing political views and individuals are becoming extremely intolerant to others who do not believe in their beliefs. Individuals are so set on being right, they lose the ability to see the other perspective and would rather prove a point. In our society, I feel as if individuals are so opposed to hearing any other viewpoint that does not align exactly with their points. I hope we get to the point where we can come together, listen to each other, and find middle ground. You would be surprised with how many basic fundamentals we all share. Be nice to one other and try to expand our horizons.
