Is it hypocritical?!

I saw a post today that indicated that anyone who supports the #MeToo movement, and votes for Biden, is a hypocrite.

Here is the problem I see....

I'm not defending Biden against the allegations at all! I didn't vote for him in the primaries (I voted for Warren before she dropped from the race, as my state is one of the ones to vote earlier in the process). What I may be forced to accept is Biden as the Democratic nominee, because that is how things are shaping up now that Sanders has also dropped out of the race, and there are no other real contenders.  So what do we have (minus any third party candidates, because we know none of them really stand a chance to win)? We have candidates on both sides who have sexual assault and/or harassment claims made against them! So either way, this is going to be a reality for whichever candidate wins this election. The fact that they BOTH have this same black mark against them forces me to disregard that black mark, and look further on to the rest of the issues.

Now, I'm not going to make a case for Biden here....that is for you, the rest of the voters, to decide for yourself. I'm simply pointing out that a vote for Biden does not make me a hypocrite at this point, as I really don't have much choice but to vote for a candidate with such a black mark against them...they BOTH have it. At this point, I'm voting on the remainder of the issues, and what I feel is best for this country as a whole. We've done 4 years of Trump (almost), and we are a mess! It's time to do something different!

The show that shall not be named...

I get it. You are bored!! You are confined to your homes (or at least should be outside of essential activity such as grocery shopping or medical visits). You are scrolling through your social media, and everyone is talking about this new show on one of the popular streaming services. So, you give it a watch.

Here is the issue, and why I refuse to name the show...I am personally so tired of people making stupid people famous! The person or persons talked about in this program do NOT deserve fame! They are stupid...they did stupid things that are not worthy of a national stage! It takes me back to the Kardashians. Most of us wouldn't have even known that name if one of them wasn't made famous over a sex tape. This family has truly contributed nothing to society outside of regular reports of their failed relationships and product lines...oh, and bad fashion trends (such as wearing leggings that are so thin they are see through, or the wearing of padded butt undergarments).

There are so many people out there more worthy of fame, and the monetary reward that comes from such! There are people out there changing the world right now...doctors, nurses, even your grocery store clerks...all putting up with your B.S. and exposing themselves daily to the coronavirus so that you can sit at home watching stupid shows about stupid people and spreading that stupid person's name around the internet like they are some hero!

I don't know...maybe this virus is the universe trying to tell us or priorities are wrong. How many are actually considering that? Worshiping these stupid "reality stars" and other celebrities, and ignoring those that are actually trying to make a difference? Maybe it is the earth fighting back for us doing our best to destroy her...notice how she has been trying to heal while we have retreated to our homes!

Seriously, people...I know you are bored, but please for the love of Mother Earth...stop making stupid people famous!

So, let me get this straight...

In the State of Texas, it is okay for churches to violate recommendations and continue to hold services in groups of more than 10 people, but it's okay to completely block a woman's right to a safe abortion in these times of the coronavirus?!

"But...freedom of religion!" Um, freedom of religion does not guarantee you the right to congregate in a building. It gives you the right to practice your religion without persecution!! You can do that with online services from your own home, without putting other people at risk!!

The Supreme Court has already ruled on abortion, and there can be no blanket ban of abortion!! The religious right politicians are using this virus as a way to impose their beliefs into law of the land!

This is great!
