If you do your research and vote for Bernie Sanders, I like you.
If you do your research and vote for Hillary Clinton, I like you.
If you do your research and vote for anybody but Trump, I like you.
If you do your research and vote for Trump, I like you.
If you don’t do any research and vote for a straight ticket, I like you.
If you don’t vote at all because you think it won’t make a difference, I like you.
If you don’t vote because you just don’t care, I like you.
There are times when I may speak out against actions, words, or policies because I dislike them, but I don’t ever want to dislike another person.
Hating another person doesn’t do me any good.
Hating another person doesn’t do that person any good.
Hating another person doesn’t do anybody any good.
Hating another person doesn’t do any good.
In the end, we, as human beings, are all in this together.
Mr. Rogers said this:
“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
So there you go. I like you. Let’s be neighbors.
