Although my beliefs in the Democratic Party's current ideals are firm and true, I firmly believe that our nation's focus balances on a fine point.
This balance does not rest with one party, but that of both Democrats and Republicans.
You would think that ideologically we are worlds apart.
Even though there are distinct differences, many similarities keep us united.
It is out of love for our country that we find common ground and work together in creating meaningful legislation.
In my opinion, each party has a place and a time.
By this I mean that when given certain circumstances, the majority of the people will chose the right leader under a fair democracy.
If this leader or administration can not perform to the level that is expected, then the people will vote for change.
Throughout our short history, the people of the United States have voted in sync with the mood of the times.
I am a firm believer in balance of power.
It is not our best interest to see a political party hold on to power for too long.
Power becomes a disease that eats at the original and moral compass of individuals and their respective parties.
Our delegates can never forget their purpose nor the duties they were elected to fulfill.
It is truly the independent bloc that must remain large enough to sway elections and provide for fair judgment of each party's political candidates.
It is news of redistricting, actions taken to blockade votes, and sabotage of legit candidates that worries me.
If we commit to such actions, how will we ever place proper trust in our institutions and those that we elect into office?
