The people’s voices were heard loud and clear, by the electorate going to the ballot box and voting. We have seen enough divisive antics thrown our way. The only way we stop this type of thing is to put politicians in office that best represent our needs. It can definitely be said that some of these politicians elected were not concerned about representing the masses but only a privileged few. 

This is not the principle that America is supposed to be governed by. Everyone is created equal and that is how things should be, but favoritism and divisiveness seem to be on some politicians’ agenda. Hopefully, we can begin to right some of the wrongs that have been thrown at us. 

It seems better days are now ahead for the masses and not just a few. Politicians, can you hear us now?
