Your vote and voice matters

It's not about who you would you vote for. It's about what everyone matters and decisions we have to make based on what we're going through at this pandemic and major crises.

In a pandemic we have never faced since the Spanish Influenza, the handling of Covid-19 that was poorly accounted by our current administration has scourged over the entire country and even worldwide. The U.S. has lost over 230,000 lives from the coronavirus, in which we have given confidence to the science expersts and major pharma companies to work on vaccines and treatments for laboratory test experiments while we are gradually wearing masks and follow CDC guidelines. Schools cancelled and have gone virtual. Some schools reopen without any handling how it will affect children getting in as well as transmission of the virus they are unaware of. Federal, state, and local governments, agencies, and institutions are going through phases of reopening once the virus handling is negotiated. Worse of all, we have witness masses of gatherings and protests that has torn the country into pieces since the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other African-American lives taken by corrupt authorities like the police force. Day after day, week after week, and month after month I have never seen anything that shocked me in my entire life. It's hard getting a job because staff is cut short and hours are limited. Your financial aid ends after being forced to have your name taken off of your parent's tax returns. And, student debt is still rising and it's not only a national tragedy, but a strategy that dismantles anyone involved in that particular debt.

What I hope in this election is to see someone, who will handle the pandemic in a way that was dealt before since the Spanish flu, knows that over 99% needs financial funding and assistance for their affordable living, housing, and working class activities, needed to ensure that the 1% would give in to financially help those communities that are in poor condition and raise to rebuild newer and better to improve, and to show who cares for everyone from white, black, brown, beige, to any assorted colors on the rainbow, especially the religious and ethnic communities involved. America has always been great for its proud and bold contribution on immigration destination, the exploration of space, sports, science, education, technology, and multiethnic diversity. But, it has never been great for the country because of its long and scourging history of racial discrimination when America was first born. The slaughter of 10 million American Indians, my ancestors, were decreased to 60 to 80 percent throughout the past couple centuries. The slave trade of Africans was a tragedy we have known to our knowledge. We still have white Americans that are still stuck in the past with their old fashioned ways of how different people alike were to live and not live by a dead set of rules that we longer want to impose to anyone at any community out there. But, there is hope to our cause and we still have to look for the light to cast darkness everyone lives in out of the way. Our current sitting president, who has back up support from the so called "Proud Boys," a nickname for white supremacists. His action to handle the virus by calling out names like "Wuhan Virus" or "China Virus" is a sign of disrespect because he doesn't understand how science can help prove the facts and information that we still need to know how the coronavirus can react in certain levels. But also, his arrogance of calling out people involved in honoring of CDC guidelines has aggressively leveled to one that we have not seen or heard. If there were to have been a plan and that the current administration handling the virus should have been run by Hillary Clinton, none of the pandemic should have never happened at all. But anyhow, more protests have rose up as the virus constantly rises. The unexpected reality of what will happen to the current presidency may be questionable if severe or so as the virus progresses from within. The presidential race now is almost to a day when everyone needs to decide on who will vote for someone who has a plan as opposed to someone who does the opposite.

No one will ever experience another four years of this political, radically, resurrected, and twisted totalitarian ideology we have lived in from the beginning four years ago in 2016, we hope who ever becomes president has a plan for all of us to be okay, and that the virus scourge since early in 2020 will be handled properly as long as we follow guidelines to save and protect the lives of our loved ones. If you vote for someone who knows how to handle the virus better, then vote for that someone you can trust at that your polling area. Vote 2020 and saving lives do matters!
