I find it very weird that anyone expects humans to stop being violent or to end all wars. We are fucking apes, who evolved from chimps. Chimps had wars over territories. We do the same thing. Many in my generation honestly believed we could accomplish peace, love and happiness, but we were naive and sadly wrong. Sure, "War is not the answer", and War, what is it good for" Absolutely nothing, say it again". "Just a little bit of love will help conquer hate", etc etc. Those lines from old soul songs are still true, but unless we evolve into some type of better apes, this shit isn't going to end. Violence is a part of human nature. Even peace loving groups sometimes become violent. It's in our brains.
I will happily vote for the person who at least would like to decrease our support for war. Israel isn't the problem. Netanyahu is the problem and unless he is over taken, things will continue. Foreign policy is complicated. Do we want Iran to get more involved and destroy Israel? There is no easy answer to this mess. I still have the image in my head of the little girl running down the street on fire after being the victim of Napalm. Same as it ever was. I remember my late mother telling me about the day that my father broke down in tears after telling her about shooting a Japanese soldier and finding photos of his children in the man's wallet. Only a naive person would believe things are going to drastically change. Humans, like our ape ancestors can be loving, caring, or hateful and violent. "That's the way of the world".
I guess I'm not negative enough when it comes to how I vote because I always perceive one candidate as better then the other, not the lesser of two evils. That seems kind of arrogant to me, as if there is such a person who will be able to accomplish everything you want or everything they want for that matter. The job of president is a difficult one and right now one candidate is totally unqualified for the job, to say the least, while the other has plenty of experience, making her qualified to take on a difficult world. She will not be able to bring about world peace, but she might be able to help limit the number of victims of wars. I'll take that and hope that she will be able to accomplish more than I expect.
But hey. If anyone here wants to be a Debbie Downer, go for it. We can't stop you, but we can at least try to reason with someone who is negative, even if we don't get very far.
