#055 - Nothing is as good or bad as it seems

Election season is over. Finally. Every four years we put ourselves through this song and dance of politics. Time and time again we get sucked in to a vortex of political discourse that does not push our country forward. Since I've been aware of politics there have been hotly contested elections along with it's rhetoric. The past 4 elections have been increasingly more contested. Not necessarily contested by votes and the actual election, but by each person's individual involvement in their party and candidate. This has become increasingly worrying to me. I think people are too invested in politics. The biggest reason I am concerned is that politics have become each person's identity.
