BidenHarris2020

I thought long and hard before I wrote this blog for the simple fact that I am not a politician. I don’t engage in political conversations, You won’t find me at any political conventions or any of sort. However, I am an American citizen which grants me all the rights to say every single word follows. Before I proceed, I’d like to disclose this: I may lose some followers/ readers because of what I’m about to say. Fortunately for me, I’ve made peace with that thought. We may not see eye to eye on this subject but I beseech you to just agree to disagree. 

We all can agree that 2020 has been one hell of a year. I did not expect this election to be anything different granted that it took place in 2020. The last time I voted was 2008 when Obama ran for president. Voting this year was nothing compared to 2008 to say the least. When I voted in 2008 I felt the need not only to support a man who planned to address the major issues in America; such as finance and healthcare, but also to support the first African American president to ever be elected. It was important to me to make sure my voice was heard. I wanted to be a part of history. And I’ll tell you this, till this day it feels damn good to say “my president Barack Obama”. This 2020 election came with a different perspective for me. One that is based on two factors: first is a continuation of what the Obama presidency represented and second Trump does not  deserve my vote. I am everything Donald Trump hates: I’m a woman, black, Haitian, the list goes on. Despite all that he has said about my people, I don’t hate him. I just don’t support him and can’t fathom the thought of being led by a narcissist for another 4 years. 

On Saturday November 7, 2020 Joe Biden Was named president- elect and Kamala Harris as Vice President-elect. Let’s pause for a minute here and unpack the fact that our soon to be Vice President is not only the first woman to be Vice President, but the first BLACK FEMALE VP! I hope you read that right- THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO BE VICE PRESIDENT PERIOD. Now, if this fact does not make you wanna scream and shout I don’t know what will. A dear friend of mine texted me on Saturday and said “America suddenly looks a lot better to the rest of the world” I couldn’t agree more. I think America deserves a better leader. One who understands the human race and not just the white race. One who is compassionate, who cares about people from every walks of life. 

Here’s what I think:

Nothing is permanent in this world. Everything has an expiration date and I think Trump’s expiration date has come.I think we as a country needed this victory, this joy after dealing with a year full of sadness and turmoil. I think the VP elect is proof that anything is possible under the sun. I think this is what our ancestors fought for. And finally, I think BidenHarris will run a great race.
