Hamas A Lesson Why Elections Are Extremely Important

This was where all of today's middle east troubles began. Voters need to be very careful who they vote for. Even our democracy can go sideways very badly when the electorate gets far too many yahoos into office.

Palestinian Election Observation 2006

A few years ago, in 2021, Palestinians thought they'd get a chance for another election. Hamas nipped that idea in the bud.



\What happened over there can happen anywhere, even here. Don't think so? Well it almost did on January 6th when the last president tried to refuse giving up his power along with his supporters.

Now because of voters choices the U.S. House has come to a complete standstill. I am of the opinion the U.S. House won't come to an agreement for the next speaker for some time. Perhaps even before the 12 government funding bills that await run out in a few weeks. This would have a catastrophic effect on both the U.S. Government functions as well as almost every citizen.

Indeed voting does have consequences. It most certainly did for the Palestinians who now find themselves in a world of hurt for the choices they made. I'm leery American voters are not any wiser then they when it comes to poor choices we make for leaders. Considering one of these candidates (Trump) is up to his neck in indictments, exposed our classified material, praises our adversaries, trash talks just about every institution or anyone who worked for him is still well positioned to become our next president. This makes me question our voters may be dumb as the Palestinians who supported the worst possible choices to run government for themselves. Sometimes people deserve what they get. I'm not one of them.
