Forward. Really, Let's Move Forward.

Just when you thought you had your fill of people posting their political views on social media outlets, last night brought about a new wave of bitching. Yes, bitching.

The blatant disrespect, coming from both sides, is astonishing to me. We have our fair share of problems in this country, sure, but is there really any other place you'd rather live and raise your family?

Some people are threatening to "move to Canada or Australia" -- do they realize there is universal healthcare in both of those countries? I feel that a lot of the people posting are misinformed; they don't research the facts and complain for the sake of complaining. 

Social media can be good -- look at what it did for the Arab Spring. Arguably, it helped unshackle the bonds of some non-democratic regimes. Yet it's bad when people use the outlets to vent their frustrations because they can type it out and thus not say it to anyone's face, avoiding verbal repercussions. 

I myself am boycotting social media for the next couple days. I wish people would rise above and realize that we can't even agree on what the problems are in this country.Those that complain about bipartisan politics are adding fuel to the fire when they, in a fit of emotions,  type out blanket statements about the other side.

If we can't overcome our own petty differences, how can we expect Washington to? We are not setting a good example for them if we don't handle the election results with maturity.
